Out of Eden
Posted by IsaacAn oldie – from 2004, my junior year in high school. It’s a little slow and a little artsy – but it is epic, and it represents a pivotal point in my development as a filmmaker. I figured i’d post it because it’s going in the film portfolio section of this site, but I wanted a specific URL to link to it. Also, I wanted y’all to see it if you haven’t already : )
The production was long – I shot up in the hills 9 times over the course of about two months. And that was after I’d already shot the entire project twice – the first two versions were filmed with different female actors, and edited – but they weren’t quite right.
I’ve never had a vision so strong that I felt compelled to throw out weeks of work and start multiple times. But I’m glad I did. I shot this sucker five years ago, and although I’ve come a long way technically and artistically, I’m still proud of it.
