              When your dreams and passions are tested, how far will you go to get what you want? This is the question, Adam Morrison, is faced with in our short film, 1000 Words. Adam is a struggling nature photographer challenged in an interview to take a photo worth 1000 Words to land the job of his dreams. This in-depth character study casts us into the mind of Adam and the problems he faces.

 

Director: Derek Rahm

Derek Rahm is a Senior TV/Film Major at DeSales University. In the fall, Derek wrote and pitched his film to a panel of peers to receive the honor of directing a senior thesis film. Derek also brings to the plate multiple awards for his short films Bounties and Bros, Mirrored, and Trapped Within. After four years of film school, he is excited to direct a passion project with so much support behind it! 

Co - Producers: Dylan Firestone and Lauren Applegate

Dylan Firestone is a transfer into the TV/Film Major. Before this, he finished his four year finance degree from DeSales. He then decided to pursue his other passion for TV/Film and earn his degree in that as well. Although he is new to the major, Dylan has quickly caught up and spent all of the past year working on film sets. 

Lauren Applegate is a Senior in the TV/Film Program as well. Lauren has done work in a lot of areas of filmmaking. She has won best editor two years in a row from the DeSales University 48 Hour Film Challenge and freelances part-time at ASR Media in Hellertown, PA. Lauren also has a great passion for Pre-Production and Producing! She is excited to help in anyway possible to make this film a reality. 

Director of Photography: Andre Ewing

Andre Ewing is a Senior in the TV/Film program. He spends his free time constantly watching movies or making short films with his BlackMagic Pocket 6k Camera. Andre has worked closely with Derek for many years and has worked on all of Derek's award winning sets. Most notably, Andre worked to help win "Best Cinematography" in DeSales University's 48 Film Challenge in 2021. 

 

Andre and Derek have been working hard on color palettes, story boards, and reference photos. Here are a few to give you an idea!

The overall look of the film is going to be very clinical and isolating, helping you to get into Adam's dreary and lonely mindset. 

 

The Storyboards show how we want to utilize a lot of negative space as well to really keep Adam low and small throughout the film.

 

The budget of this film is $5,000. This money will be split into three major areas. 

1. Production Design: This film is very character driven so meaningful props and costumes are a must to show exactly who Adam is. On top of this, horror elements poke through at times creating the need for specific props. 

2. Locations: A lot of the film takes place in Adam's house, which will need to be rented. Other locations include the city and alley's so permits to film there are included in locations. 

3. Food: With COVID-19 precautions being important to the cast and crew, prepacked food is important to have. This will cost a bit more but ensure more safety on set. 

 

When you crowdfund for a film, you really are putting your faith into the community. It isn't about making giant payments, its about sparing a few dollars to make our dreams come true. We want to share this project with the world, and specifically you! We hope that excites you as much as it excites us!

Donations to the film is the best way to help us, however we know that isn't always possible. The next best thing you can do is help us get word out about our film! Tell your friends, family, or fellow film lovers!
