The 3000 mile/24 hour projects.

A few weeks ago I designed these one sheets for two films I edited/directed. Each was a similar experiment where we had 4-5 people working on projects where each of us was no closer than 400 miles to each other (collective distance was more than 3300 miles). Collaborators submitted from Chicago, Minneapolis, Calgary, Corvallis, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Each project was conceived produced and finished within 24 hours. That either one of these films exist and at the quality they do is an unbelievable source of pride for me. Check them out here:

Today I’ve released the fourth short film I directed “The Landlord.”

“The Landlord” is a film noir style film about a broken radiator. Jimmy (Derek Minter) and Christine (Joy Tweedie) are living a great life in their new apartment, except their radiator keeps breaking. Tony (Loren Bryant), the landlord must keep coming over to fix that darn contraption. Jimmy begins to suspect foul play when the radiator continues to break, and Tony begins to spend time in the apartment doing other things.

My Dad doesn’t like labor day.

I have to admit I understand where he’s coming from.  Mostly, I’m not sure how we are supposed to celebrate. Fourth of July we have fireworks. Thanksgiving means a great dinner. Arbor day plant a tree. Memorial Day Weekend (at least growing up in Indianapolis) means the Indy 500 and a cook out. But even firing up the ol’ BBQ doesn’t seem entirely appropriate as it’s not so special after 4 months of them. And aside from a passing reference in a Jimmy Buffet song don’t look for many answers from popular culture.

“Art Sale” was the film that I made with my family. My dad was my Director of Photography. My brother, aunt and uncle served as our production assistant and extras. It was shot in my Aunt’s art gallery. It remains one of my personal favorites. It’s short, to the point and lots of fun.
