This Friday (August 28, '09) , I will be screening my first short film at my house in Nashville. The title is Bon Vivant, which means "Good Life" in French. Wrapped about a month ago, the film is a load of "firsts" for me: first time editing, directing, writing, and camera operating. The film is a Personal Documentary, meaning it is done in a style popular in the 1970s where a short is narrated by the director and has some sort of philosophical anecdote within itself.
A Day in NYC
Ein Berlin
Fliegende Hollander
In Belgium
Ah Praha
My film is an 8 minute short, shot on Super 8mm film, about the travels of my Sister and I as we backpacked through Berlin, Amsterdam, Brugge, and Prague in the Summer of 2008. In essence, it is a glorified home video, but much, much better. The sound editing was done by my good friend Joe Sotiroff, a sax player, who also scored the film to an original jazz number.
I will be screening my film to a few friends, grilling out and finishing the night by watching "In Bruge" starring Colin Farell and Ralph Fiennes. I have attached the trailer. Not recommended for kids due to language, but I hear it is good. As for my film, I will be posting it in two parts to the blog in the next few weeks so stay tuned if you can't come to the screening!
Cheers!
DT
