No Script Required

Watch Elephant Boy on filmaka.com (3 mins)

I just discovered that this short film I worked on has won the first round of a filmaka.com competition.  Instead of the usual working behind the scenes I was in front of the camera on this one.

We had a story outline but no script.  We improvised the film using Meisner and Impulse Company techniques.  Some people have made kind comments about my apparently understated acting.  I can mostly attribute this to training with Remy Bertrand at Imprology (Far Games), Pat Kelman’s direction and to being heavily sleep deprived at the time.

The short film went on to win the ReelTube category at the 2009 ReelHeART International Film Festival.
