WITH DIRECTOR/ACTOR COMMENTARY!

BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO!

SYNOPSIS
GDMF is an improv based dramatic short film about an exotic dancer who makes an unsettling personal discovery after performing at a private party.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT
When I wrote the first draft of GDMF, I had no intentions of making an improvisational film. I realized over the course of subsequent drafts, however, that I’d merely created an outline with a few splashes of dialogue. And so when I gave it to the actors, I encouraged them to read it once and then throw it away. They’d fill in all the holes I’d left on the page.

The more I make films and watch films, the more I am impressed by and infatuated with actors and their processes. On GDMF, I wanted to put those processes to the test. I didn’t want the actors to be a character; I just wanted them to be themselves in the circumstance I’d created for them. I am very interested in blurring the lines of reality and fiction, style and substance, and behavior and performance.

With GDMF, I saw an opportunity to indulge these interests and do something new for myself. To forget about witty dialogue and perfectly mapped-out narrative. I wanted to make paradisiacal mistakes and happy accidents. A vérité documentary about a fictional set of characters in a fake circumstance. I wanted to never say action and never yell cut.

And in case your wondering, GDMF is an acronym for Goddamn Motherfucker.
Who I'd like to meet:
An Audience.

James, I didn't tell you personally how flawless this film was.
everything was in good taste, every camera angle was dead on, just... everything.
you did a spectacular job, and I can't wait to see this movie go to the top.

Loved the film. Thanks for the comment! Who cares what critics say about me? The only thing that's important is what the guy who hires the actors thinks. Any plans to develop it into a full length film?
