Tribeca Film Fest, here I come !!
[[posterous-content:pid___0]]
Two short films I made are going to be submitted to the Tribeca FIlm Festival this 2012. As Chance Productions begins to grow, we are taking bigger steps and this, is the start of it.
Crime Drama “Paradox of the Intellect” and Romantic Comedy “Phoebe & Jay” are the two short narratives that were chosen to be submitted. Paradox of the Intellect (released earlier this year) will undergo re-edits and not released Phoebe & Jay is currently in the editting process. Fans patiently await the news and we do to. I hope both get accepted and take the festival by storm !!
“Life Sentence” short film Coming Soon !!
LIFE SENTENCE, was a short film I helped produce for the 2011 SXSW Make A Film In A (M.A.F.I.A.) Day Youth Festival. In those 24 hours, my teammates and I wrote, shot and edited this film and had it screened at the Austin Convention Center during SXSW.
After that, we submitted it into the 2011 Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner were, to our amazement, it was selected to e screened there! Alexander Michael Rosales, the main actor and Director of Photography of the film, traveled to the festival in May of 2011 and represented it there.
LIFE SENTENCE follows the story of Marcus T. Quete (Alexander Michael Rosales) who has been incarcerated for the murder of a man simple known as “the Hero”(Landon McCampbell) . Detective Aaron Rodriguez (Irving Medina) is charged with telling him that he is going to be exetuted and to gain some information from him. He wants to know why? To see why he would give up his innocence to serve a Life Sentence.
Cinema Du Cannes Project 2012
Last year students from John B. Connally High School’s Video Technology class in Austin, TX made history when they became the first high school in the entire United States to successfully produce a film that got accepted into the Cannes Film Festival in France. Along with getting the film accepted, six students from the class were able to travel to Cannes, France and attend the festival.
This year, that Cannes Project continues, with some changes. The project has branched out from Connally and is including all the other high schools in the Pflugerville Independent School District. As well as, joining together as a single unit, the project has moved up from just an after school program to its own non-profit called: Cinema Du Cannes.
Students from all the high schools are gathering together as one to make this project happen again this year. Under the direction of recently graduated high school alumni, they are beginning again, to change the world.
