This is damn breathtaking. 

I Love to Hate Records is putting out a mixtape for my short film How Will We Cross the Seas? In light of the film’s themes and mixtape quality, we thought it’d be cool to distribute the film this way, too. Each tape will come with a digital download of the film, soundtrack, and extras. 

Here’s a rough draft of the cover art. Let me know what you think!

Poster for my new short film “What About Romance?”

After kicking out her boyfriend, a struggling teen romance writer is alone, broke, and faces eviction.

It’s showing at 3rd Ward on Feb 17 with seven other romcom shorts for LOVE FEST. Here’s the invite: http://www.facebook.com/events/471187656268095/?fref=ts

The way Love Fest, and the previous iteration SpookyFest, works is that each filmmaking team picks 4 prompts out of a hat that they have to use. Categories include prop, character, subgenre, formal trait, etc. 

Our prompts were:
Prop - lost piece of jewelry
Character - mystery person
Location - backseat of a car
Line of dialogue - “what about romance?”

Come check it out!

“Last Chance For A Slow Dance”

A short film where two people walking in opposite directions are caught in an awkward dance on the street. This goes on for two minutes and reaches ridiculous heights. 

Starring Lee Berger, Emma Wiseman, and Ali Abidi. Sound by Ali Abidi. Written, produced, and directed by Shaun Seneviratne.

Shot on a Canon T2i with Zeiss 50mm using a Jag 35 Field Runner set-up. Audio with Tascam DR-100 and Sennheiser shotgun mic. Edited with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

Featuring the following music that I do not own but highly encourage purchasing (links below):
