Making a Monster?


In the summer of 2007, myself and a creative partner of mine, Roman, where brought on one of the first Master of Fine Arts feature films to be made from the new program at the University of Central Florida.  Director Danny Daneau, while in pre-production, approached us in hopes of creating a web-based episodic documentary series to be aired on the production's website.


Roman and I spent two days driving from our home Orlando, FL to Kanab, Utah, a small town in southwest Utah.  Upon arriving we spent about a month with the crew in the Perry Lodge Hotel where we all slept and lived, and our two locations, the Heritage House and the Paria desert.  This is the largest project both Roman and I have ever encountered, with over 50 hours of footage we face the challenge of honing in on the themes of the footage and creating short episodes, keeping an audiences attention to continue watching as the series develops.  This is something independent feature films are utilizing in the marketing stages of filmmaking and is certainly the future of film marketing.

We are currently finishing up with post production with an expected premiere early July.  You can see a teaser trailer here or on the production website.
