The Project- Update

This past week I went down to Park City, Utah to visit Renart Films and to see the world premier of The Project at the Slamdance Film Festival. To my surprise, the showing was completely sold out and was a complete success. Now, I am not saying this just because I was a part of this film. After the showing there was quite a buzz about it.

For those who are unfamiliar, Slamdance is a film festival based around an anarchist theme. Even cooler, the festival is going green and had many green sponsers. It's pretty cool to see a film festival committed to reducing it's carbon footprint and should be overlooked by no one.

Check out the links and get a quick glimps into the movie. Let me know what you think!

The Project

At the end of April I traveled to New York City to work on a movie with a long time friend, Tim Duff. Since we parted ways in high school to pursue different careers, he chose the ever complicated job of movie producer. Basically he is responsible for putting together everything for a movie shoot. The only thing he doesn't do is direct and edit- even though he dabs into that every once and a while.

Tim called me up and asked me if I can come out and shoot movie stills for his new movie 'The Project', a film about inner city youth shot documentary style. The catch is the fact that the film is fiction so it isn't a true documentary, however it will seem like it when you watch it. I had a great experience working with so much talent in the city. I just updated Gallery 6 on my website with a few images from The Project.

Above is an image I made on location in queens. We were shooting a drive-by scene. This was a moment between takes. I wanted to capture the the moods of each of the actors/actress in a single frame. This is one I particularly like.

For more info on the movie go to www.renhartfilms.com. The movie is in post production, so things are kind of in a dormant stage at the moment. I will keep updating as it progresses.

Cheers!
