So our latest project was a short film (or parable) about two diner patrons who meet up during breakfast. It is based on an example our pastor gave during a sermon earlier this year - being the excellent producer that I am, I had to point out the potential this particular anecdote had to be turned into a short film.
The film was shot in one day - about 7 hours total, including set up and break down. Our location was James Brown's Place, locally located on Culver Road in Rochester. The owner was kind enough to provide the location and also cooked food for us to use in some of the scenes. Most of our cast consisted of actors we have never worked with before - they all proved to be hard workers and were so excited to be a part of our production. It's always great to work with cast and crew who share the same passion for film that we do!
As you may have noticed, we have a trailer put together for the film. We also have a roughly edited cut that is waiting for music at the moment...it should be completed by late summer or early fall at which time we will have some sort of screening - the location has yet to be decided.
A huge thanks goes out to everyone who contributed time, energy, and cookies to our shoot in May. Several people took time out of their day to come lend a hand and experience a film shoot firsthand. It was really great for Anthony and I to have so many family members and great friends surround us during this shoot and we appreciate all the time and energy everyone contributed!
