"Not Our Living Room" Online Premiere
We've finally released one of our new short films, "Not Our Living Room" online.
This short was part of a challenge we gave ourselves, a pair of sibling pieces (contrasting "We Had Plans," premiered a few months ago) - to tell a story in one room, between siblings that explores their relationship, and ends in a way that could be a beginning. More of what inspired this particular story can be found here: http://www.congestedcat.com/not-our-living-room.
BTS of New Short "Night In"
Last night I shot a new short titled "Night In." This film originally came about because I wanted to shoot one final (fourth) short in my current apartment before moving in the Fall. I challenged myself to come up with something that could be shot in one night, on no more than $150, with a key skeleton crew and without sync sound (since the elevated train a block away has posed production problems in the past), but still be something that's fun & compelling, and worth everyone's time & talent. From there, "Night In" was born.
It was shot by the brilliant Jeanette Sears, who I'm happy to have finally collaborated with as Director/DP & am looking forward to doing so again. And same goes for lead actor Dani Thomas. And then we rounded out our small team with usual suspects Matt (AD/Gaffer) and Ryan (Scripty/Supporting Actor). (Oh and my cats were there, too, of course!)
We're really excited to get this short into post and eventually share it with the world. In the meantime, check out the behind the scenes photos we got below, and a few raw stills below that!
