Here's a summary of the films, along with comments from their directors:</font><br><br><b style="font-size: 12pt; ">THROUGH A DOORWAY</b><font size="3"> (working title)</font><br><font size="3">DIR: Cassie Gomes (<u>cagomes@vassar.edu</u>)</font><br><font size="3">Sisters Erica and Taryn are home alone when Andrew, Taryn's love interest comes over. Erica sees something happening between the two that she can't quite comprehend and takes a stand against Andrew.</font><br><br><font size="3">Anybody willing to help will have opportunities to do many different things: we need an Assistant Camera, a boom operator, script supervisor and Assistant Director.</font><br><br><font size="3"><b>FROZEN</b></font><br><font size="3">DIR: Patty Cruz (<u>pacruz@vassar.edu</u>)</font><br><font size="3">Ray (45) and his daughter Rosie (17) pick up Grandpa Rick (68) at the train station. On their way to Rosie's music recital, the car breaks down in a solitary road, where they are forced to stick together over night, during a storm, and confront their underlying issues. </font><br><br><font size="3">Shooting locations will be very varied for this one. We're gonna be filming inside a car, by a road, inside an abandoned store (anyone interested in set design, this can be a good chance to experiment!); also different times of day: afternoon, sunset, night (which will be interesting to see how we approach each), maybe dawn. </font><br><font size="3">Boom operators, general PAs, and ADs would be great.</font><br><br><font size="3"><b>A GUY WALKS INTO A BAR</b></font><br><font size="3">DIR: Esra Aral (<u>esaral@vassar.edu</u>)</font><br><font size="3">"A Guy Walks Into A Bar" tells the story of a suicidal bar owner who is held at gunpoint by a young kid on the night he decides to kill himself. </font><br><br><font size="3">The film takes place in a single location which will be close to campus, and we will mostly be shooting on the weekends. (You don't have to commit to all the shoots, but the more days you can commit the better.) You can contact me (esaral@vassar.edu) or Amanda (ammessenger@vassar.edu) if you're interested!</font><br><br><font size="3"><b>SIDEKICK</b></font><br><font size="3">DIR: Sasha Stadler (<u>sastadler@vassar.edu</u>)</font><br><font size="3">A reporter interviews an ex-sidekick of the city's greatest hero.</font><br><br><br><font size="3">As I've mentioned before, I can't recommend getting on a set enough. It was one of the best learning experience I've had at Vassar, and helped me enormously once junior year rolled around and serious production got underway. Contact any (or all) of the directors above if you're interested or have any questions!</font><br><br><br><font size="3">There's other projects a-stirring for next semester too, but more on those a little later down the road. Hope the winter treats everybody well, and let's all go broke seeing this onslaught of great-looking movies being released all at once.</font><br><br><font size="3">-Tim</font></div></body></html>
