š„ Thatās a wrap on filming āChanging with the Seasonsā, a dramatic short film now proudly in post-production! š„
A huge thanks to my talented cast, April, Cayla, Jason, Cameron, and JD, and my hard working crew members, Arik, Kayleigh, and Cameron, for believing in this project and sticking it through!
Weāve overcome a lot of challenges to get this far- COVID, low budget, family emergencies, technical difficulties, etc. And I am happy to say there is an end in sight.
Now, I work hard to edit and get a cut sent off to my amazing composer: Arthur Campbell, IV.
āChanging with the Seasonsā is very personal to me. The script is raw and unfiltered and I hope to express just that in the edit. An emotional, yet mundane and awkward rollercoaster as a family traverses the road to recovery.
I wrote the script in a matter of days in August 2021 as the words literally poured out of me. Then immediately began pre-planning. We started filming in December 2021 on weekends and finished up this week.
This is my first film in 7 years, and the first one I have done since high school. It is also the first one I am making under Walk With Me Productions and is the largest project I have ever taken on, more than tripling the time of my last film, which had a run time of 5:27.
I truly appreciate and love everyone who has supported the project this far and cannot wait to share it with you later this year. It will be perfectly imperfect, one that Iām learning a lot on, and hopefully one to make you really feel the struggle the characters are going through.
Keep checking the page for updates, and if you are following, know I love you so much for your support as I get back into filmmaking!
