Short Movies

We made our first short movie in July. It was supposed to be dogma, 5 crew members and 3 actors.... We ended up with a real movie set. It was weird. Cool, but weird. When we said we wanted to make a short, a lot of people wanted to help and come on board, we ended up with more than 20 people, free equipment, location, gear, free everything... almost free food. So it was big. Really big. We loved it. But the next ones will be small, real small.

We have three scripts for now, " In his head", " Save My Soul" and "Planet 6", ( and tons of other ideas) they are all comedy. Can't write a drama in 7 pages. They are all about afterlife, angels or aliens. We have a challenge for this winter. Getting ready to shoot a feature in 2007... and shooting short movies every month, at least twice a month. Let's train, let's tell stories. Just a camera, an AD, a DOP and a boom op... Focus on story and performances. We want to tell stories, play with actors, prove that you don't need a huge budget and special effect to make a movie, no... You just need a good script and good actors. Have you ever stopped in the middle of a movie because you thought the light was too hot or two dark? Story and performances, that's the key.
