There’s a first time for everything
Recently I got a chance to wade in the waters of film production for the first time. Fascinating process – especially being a hardcore theater geek (I confess I don’t watch much film). We shot on 35mm, had a cast & crew of 40+ and used two locations in Rutherford NJ – it was quite an adventure. The title is “Portraits” and it is a 15 minute short about a photographer. It was directed by my good friend John Des Roches. The film is one of ten finalists in a non-profit online film festival and competition called The Doorpost Film Project.
Here is the competition part: “Portraits” has a 1 in 10 chance of winning $100,000. If you enjoy the independent short film genre, please visit Doorpost’s website between Sept 1-16 to view all the finalists and cast your vote for the one you believe to be “best in show”. The films will be released one per day between Aug 22-31 and voting begins once all films are released on Sept 1. The competition culminates in a festival and an award ceremony in Nashville TN on Sept 19.
I was the Production Manager and had a small cameo. Can you find the Arwen in this poster?
