Short Film:
This is a trailer for a short film I directed. We shot it on the Red One. The film was shown at the LA Femme International Film Festival held in Los Angeles. Contact me to view the complete screener.
Synopsis
A businessman goes to a tarot card reader hoping for advice on the stock market, but finds himself looking for meaning after receiving the 'death' card.
Production Information
We produced this film for our entry in the 48 Hour Film Project, an international film festival. We wrote, shot and edited it in 48 hours! (We've since taken more time to polish the editing.)
In order to ensure the contestants do all creative work during the contest, each team picks a genre out of a hat and is given certain elements to place into the movie. We pulled Drama and had to include a crayon, a character Amy Belanger who is a historian, and a line of dialogue, "That's not what I meant." See if you can spot them in the film!
We shot on location in Encinitas and Solana Beach, California. In addition to the 48 hours, significant time was spent preparing the crew and equipment, as well as final editing, color grading and sound design afterward.
There were about 40 entries in the San Diego contest alone, which included a lot of great films. We all had a great time pulling together and creating something so quickly.
Cast & Crew
Our cast and crew consisted of 30 fantastic people from San Diego, Los Angeles, and Taiwan.
