A Short Film for Summer: The Brothers

Here is a link to my short film, The Brothers, which we shot last summer.  It is the film of the story, The Brothers, posted here.  The story and the film are quite different.  Some of the story just could not be told in the same way.  Some of the story could have been shown in the same way but we didn't have any money.

The actors are all local kids in our small town.  Most are from my little league team of last summer.  Great kids and actors.  Oh.  And one is my son!

The dog is our dog, Dexter.  He did a terrific job.

We shot the film on our porch, on a ski jump in Hanover, NH and on the Long Trail in Northern Vermont.  We did all the shooting in two days with a crew of no more than four and at times just two.  All the sounds -- the entire soundtrack -- were recorded live 'on set.'

There are more stories to tell about the story and the making of the film.  I will get to them but not today.

Enjoy.
