Randomly browsing through Facebook News Feeds, I came across the most intriguing indie movie trailer I’ve seen all year. It was Garrett DeHart’s thesis film project for the Georgia State University Film & Video Grad program. Still in production, Garrett uploaded a sneak peak trailer onto Kickstarter.com to generate more money to finish up production and continue non-stop on post-production.

http://www.kickstarter.com/ is a web server allowing artists to upload their project ideas and samples in hope that others will invest in their work. Using their website as an outlet for marketing and production funding is a great way for filmmakers, musicians, and other artists to keep investors, fans & friends up-to-date on their production progress.

Here is the trailer Director Garrett DeHart uploaded onto the Kickstarter website:

Amazing right???

I decided to go out and help my fellow filmmaker friends, Steven Swigart, the Director of Photography of the film, and Chris Escobar who worked as the jib operator when I was there (but knowing him, I’m sure he was involved in the production way more than just camera operating).

Although I missed being on set at the same time as talented actor, Larry Holden, (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0390227/), I still had tons of fun shooting behind the scenes stills of  the cast and crew excitedly collaborating together.
