"The Girlfriend" is a short that I had the priveledge of lighting with my faithful band of filmmaking enthusiasts, Team Bloodjet! It's kind of like a sci-fi/horror Twilight Zone type narrative directed by Adam Wingard and written by Evan Katz.
Team Bloodjet! began pre production last summer on this picture that runs about 1/2 hour. Most of it was shot at a friends house over the course of one weekend. The shoot also utilized a modest amount of rear screen projection and a location shoot day at a remote gas station.
The music is put together by a powerful trio: Justine Leigh, Hugo Marx and Producer Kyle McKinnon. It has a definite Ennio Morricone ambience to it and adds a really intriguing punch to this abstract exploration of human (and non-human) realtionships.
Synopsis:
Nic reluctantly brings his new and anxious girlfriend, Mallory, along for a weekend visit with the family. To make matters slightly more awkward, a sneaky, alien assualt on the roadtrip home leaves Nic, and his enticing sister, wondering just exactly who it is that he brought home to meet the parents and who truly is the host of this final visit. Dinner anyone?
I hope this blog can serve as a resource for ideas to other ambitious filmmakers and as a window to my experience for fellow collaborators. If you have a project that you would like me to be involved in I can be reached at (205) 441-4392.
