  • THANKSGIVING

    LINDSAY is played by LYNDSAY.

    Shooting tonight. Editing today. Editing tomorrow. Editing all the time.

    It’s all about performance, for me, and this means that it’s not quite as simple as wide shot, medium shot, close up, insert, repeat. I don’t regularly shoot in those terms when I do anything (especially a guided improvisational film like this one), but even if I did, all of that must be thrown out the window for performance, everytime.

    Performance is everything, no matter what kind of film you’re making.

    This is particularly difficult if you, like me, are in love with cinematography, beautiful framing, and a moving camera.

    BUT…performance reigns (imagine a talking fox).

    THANKS!

    Thanks to Kelly for making it possible to make movies and for taking care of doggies when I’m out traipsing around (traipse! there’s a verb).

    Thanks to Kristine and Casey and all the rest of the Vamlets for taking this strange trip with me.

    Thanks to all the Tigers for making the film festival season memorable and magical.

    Thanks to my family for being so supportive and inspirational.
