Towards the end of filming for Keith Apland’s ‘The Corners‘ I was approached by Seth Allen, who played Frome, about helping to shoot a short film he’d written. I told him to send me the script and and we’d go from there. I found his script to be interesting and very odd. I knew that there was no budget for this, but after taking a trip to Keiser, OR to meet with him, his wife and his brother who’d play the lead I decided to be involved. I could tell that Seth was really into what he’d created and was extremely interested to see it come to life. That is one of the things that I really love about making films. To see things that I’ve visualized become reality or to help others to do the same. Seth and I became pretty good friends during the making of this film and I thank him for the experience and hospitality.
The film was premiered at the Salem film festival and paired with ‘The Corners’ by an interesting twist of fate. Even though I’d spent a good amount of time editing the film and scrutinizing it, it wasn’t until I saw it on the big screen that I realized it wasn’t how I personally wanted it. There were sound issues, some which I couldn’t do anything about, some that I had to fix. Plus, I did some more color correction and got to key in the look of some of the scenes making them more cinematic. Mostly nobody but myself would’ve noticed the things I altered, but I was the one staring at the screen for hours on end. Anyhow… here is the final version. Enjoy!
