Spruce Films's Interests
General
Film, Movies, and Cinema!
Music
I like it all, and am always looking to hook up with bands/artist to shoot a music video or use some music in projects.
Movies
Donnie Darko, May, Quills, Fight Club... and a lot more... not one to get into with a filmmaker!
Television
X-Files, 4400, Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, My Name is Earl, The Office, Dead Like Me, Deadwood, Sopranos, Daily Show, Colbert Report
Books
Anything by Hemingway, Poe, or Palahniuk... though right now I am reading "She's Having a Baby (and I'm having a breakdown): What Every Man needs to Know -and Do- When the Woman He Loves IS Pregnant"
Heroes
I saved the cheerleader... but I fear that I failed to save the world.
Rosie Girl is finally done! It was initially concieved for Chiller-TV's Dare-2-Direct Contest. However, a time constraint of six minutes resulted in the "official" festival cut, which is almost twice as long with longer scenes, as well as three additional scenes. It will hit the festival circuit in 2009. Check out
www.sprucefilms.com/rosiegirl for more information. The page will be updated soon with more information and a new design.

Eye in the Triangle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9UzXmpV3sM SF friend Tom Williams' new project is 2012: Eye in the Triangle. Being produced through Pittsburgh Filmmakers, it chronicles life in Pittsburgh after the fall of civilization in 2012. I was fortunate to shoot the "preacher" character for the trailer.

Production Company: Spruce Films My Name: Don Swanson Nickname: Swanny
I've been doing indie film since the summer of 2000 under the banner of Spruce Films. I have a BS and MA in Communications Media from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I also attended Pittsburgh Filmmakers School of Film, Photography & Digital Media and graduated in 2005 with a NASAD Certification in Film Production. My short films have been internationally screeened and reviewed.
Spruce Films is a fully equipped independent production house specializing in independent film production, commercial & event production, and freelance videography & editing. I've been at this in one way or another for over 10 years, and have the schooling to back it up.
By the way, I use this space of mine, or my "MySpace," mostly for Spruce Films. I have a facebook
account for me personally, so if you're an old high school or college frined feel free to look me up on there.
Who I'd like to meet: Anybody who is involved in filmmaking, loves film & music, or is just interesting. Also, I'm terrible at keeping in touch, so I'd love to chat it up with old high school and college friends.
THE NEW REDDRAGONPRODUCTIONS FILM IS A HOMAGE TO CHEESY 80'S INFORMATIVE FILMS SHOWN TO STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
Ben and Josh both received a passing grade and the judges really did enjoy is as they laughed and were enlightened.
In 2008, Ben & Josh had to do senior projects (some major grade in order to graduate). Ben & Josh chose to remake their chemistry teacher's safety video shown at the beginning of each school year. After 9 hard weeks of writing, filming, and editing... THIS was how it turned out.
Pittsburgh mob boss Henry Sorvin wants one thing and one thing only... 30% of Ben & Josh's RedDragonProduction profit. When Henry & some guys agree to meet Josh alone to make a deal on Thanksgiving... their deal soon becomes a death match with betrayal and violence.
