Individual Artist Fellowship Grant
ACHF Arts Access
My goal is to produce, direct and edit an innovative, interactive short film called CONTEXT. CONTEXT uses the exact same dialogue in three different environments: 1) a man and a woman on a first date, 2) a father bailing his son out of jail, and 3) two women adrift in a boat at sea. The tenor and tone of the scene changes significantly (going from comedy to drama to thriller) depending on the environment. The film will be shot in August and September 2015 (4 production days total) with the editing, sound design, mix and color correction taking place in the fall/winter. The measurable outcome will be a finished film in February 2016. The method by which I will measure a successful project outcome is to have a completed film available for an audience to watch. There will be two ways to view this film. The Director's Cut will be an overlapping edit of all three environments, the User's Cut will allow viewers to toggle between the environments in real time as they play out simultaneously. The exhibition plan is to submit the Director's Cut of CONTEXT to film festivals as well as release it online in both viewing formats.
The measurable outcome of this project is a completed film in two different forms. Both the Context Director's Cut and the Context User's Cut have taken shape as outlined in the initial grant proposal. The Director's Cut will be submitted to film festivals over the following year, the User's Cut will be made available online after the Director's Cut premieres.
