I enjoyed shooting this film with Violetta D’Agata – we decided to “Co-DP” the film after working together on a number of other projects previously. Eric Schaeffer directed and Elisa Pugliese (now Elisa Key) produced this film on a breakneck schedule of 12 shooting days, with a single day for pick-ups. We shot in Vermont (for Kentucky) as Eric had a house up there that served as a backdrop for much of the story, and because Vermont in spring has a bucolic and wholesome country feel to it.
We shot with two RED Epic Dragons and a set of the 3rd generation Schneider Kreuznach Cine Primes. We got the lenses on loan from Schneider to try them out – and try them out we did! Our G&E package came from Eastern Effects in Brooklyn, NY.
The film had a successful award-laden run in festivals and launched the acting career of Michelle Hendley. It starred Michelle and Michael Welch (of Twilight and Z-Nation fame) as well as (the always great to work with) Alexandra Turshen (Red Oaks, Ray Donovan). Here is the film trailer:
