We're Pretty Excited About This Thing We've placed the order for the new Panasonic HVX-200 HD Camcorder. It'll be here in a couple weeks. What's the big deal? Well, it makes some sweet pictures and it'll infuse some more gusto into our indie filmmaking passions here. To be honest, we're really running out of excuses now to not be making films all the time. When this camera comes in we'll be shooting another round of pass the ball, get the ball rolling ... So you'll get to see some images then - middle of June. (Unless we post our out of the box test shots of cats). A link for those into nerdy camera ... porn, I guess >>>
Clips to Watch:
Pookums This short film went from concept to final edit with fantastic results. Credit not over-thinking anything because you haven't the time. Starring Melina Nacos, Alex Nussbaum, Jeff Sinasac, Andre Morriseau, and Minnie Greener, this short has some punch.Watch the trailer here >>>
The Squeeze Box This short film is about a hitman that hires an accordion player to be his real-life soundtrack. It was written and directed by Shane Belcourt and Duane Murray. It premiered at the 2005 ImagiNATIVE Film Festival. Right now we're still trying to get it into a few more festivals - as such we can't show you the whole thing just yet, but we have the trailer. Watch the trailer here >>>
Pass the Ball The idea was to create an opportunity for filmmakers to jam out a short film together - just go-go-go with the camera working together without any constraints. If musicians can get together and jam, why not filmmakers? Round One was completed in the Spring of 2006. Round Two will be in production in the summer of 2006.Watch the segments from Round One >>>
Hardache Ravi Kajuria had an idea for a short film and he brought it to The Breath Films to work the idea together. In the winter of 2004 Shane and Ravi shot, edited, and directed this short film. Watch the short film here >>>
Pass-the-Ball - Round One A while back we made a weird film experiment with four different directors taking on segments of an "improv" or "pass-the-ball" kind of film. Above is the third segment written and directed by Duane Murray, shot by Ravi Kajuria, edited by Shane Belcourt, with sound and score by Jordan O'Connor.Find out more about this project here >>>
Jordon O'Connor - Solo Bass Our latest, bizarre, weird, and somehow poignant short "film" ... experiment. Okay, ya just gotta watch it, it's kind of fun. Hopefully we'll be able to get some more experiments up here soon. Watch Part Two Here >>> Watch Part Three Here >>>
