Okay, so I'll talk some more about Sense of Persephone. Sense of Persephone is a short film about a young couple whose marriage is stressed due to their differing ideas about the direction of their lives. Specifically, one wants to have a child while the other does not. Sense of Persephone deals with a moment in time when they are confronted with the actuallity of having to take care of a child which brings their conflicting viewpoints to a head.
Basically it was a character study with the aim being something simple that everyone could identify with on some level or another. Anyway, it turned out pretty well...though it gets a little quick toward the end. It was a one day shoot and when you get rushed it becomes very evident on film. I'll have to keep that in mind on my later projects. As it is, I'm shooting some more this weekend to make the ending longer. I think it will turn out pretty well. My friend Joe is doing the music and my other friends Jeff and Mary Beth are both starring...as well as a baby, Sydney. Her and her actual father are both in the movie...imagine that.
Anyway, I think I might submit it to be viewed on Minnesota Public Television. Regardless of whether it gets in, it was a worthwhile project. Arguablely its one of the best things I've done. I just wish I'd had more time to work on it. Oh well. It's still a nice little film. My next one will definitely be bigger...
...oh will it be bigger.
