roganFILMs Presents

A Short Film Shot/Directed/Edited by DUSTIN ROGAN

Starring:
JASON JOHNSON-SPINOS

Music - DAMAIN SANCHEZ
Produced by DUSTIN ROGAN and JASON JOHNSON-SPINOS
Production Assistants: GARY FRENCH

Special Thanks - GARY FRENCH, DICK CAMPBELL, AND DAMIAN SANCHEZ!

This film had a crew of one and a cast of one.

My cast and I set a rediculous deadline for ourselves to see if we could do it. We succeeded.

This time around I have helped on Jason and Gary's films for this fest and it got me itching to make something. But what? So I set out to make a film unlike anything I've done in the past. Push myself artistically.

UPDATE!!
3/1/09 - I have a lock on this production, I'm pleased with how things turned out. Now for a little info behind the madness of this film. While on set for Gary French's INVALID DIRECTIVE, the guys and I were setting up for the first shoot of the day. I looked in the camera and loved the look of the natural light that was shining in the through the window, and the glow from a projection screen. So I said to Jason..."Hey you mind sitting there so I can see what it looks like with a subject?" He sat down and me being me said...you know this looks similar to what Zak does...then I had Gary grab the boom and Jason just said what was on his mind...i just happen to be recording on it. then I told Gary if you don't mind I take up a few mins on your P2 space and I'll get it from you later. then I saw Jason had brought his camera that he takes BTS photos with, and asked if that camera takes video. he said yeah it does. then I took things too far...like i always do. I said you wanna do something crazy? he said sure...what? I said we could shoot a short little film while we're shooting Gary's film, but it can't interfer with Gary's work. like when we break we go shoot. so we got an idea based off what he'd said when I was recording on th HVX. So we shot this film on 2 cameras the HVX and the cheapest camera I've shot on the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ28. Then I said, bottom line is if we're gonna do this that we have to be done completely with it today! So we sat out on our little adventure, with the approval of Gary. Who thought it was cool that we were doing it. So come the end of the night when they were shooting the last scene I was hard at work editing our little masterpiece. And when Gary called it a wrap I was done and already showing the cast/crew the final product (minus putting in the HVX footage and the score being laid down) Everyone liked it. So, that is the back ground info on this film. Now time to wait and submit. So when you go to watch it, keep in mind, it was spontainously shot, and well lets just say its from my warpped mind
