CREW 

WRITER / DIRECTOR - Keane Levia

 "Ballad of Blues" is a way to discover the extent to which people would go in the pursuit of what they desire when put in a place that's free of bounds. The main feature of our project doesn't only lie in the subject being explored in the story, it's also in the way we attempt to execute our vision. For example, emulating a nightclub and its atmosphere within a studio,  as well as being particularly intentional in what's being captured for the screen and how it's done in accordance to the story's essence.  With your contribution, you'll be helping our team in fulfilling what each of us aspire in this project of ours.

 

CINEMATOGRAPHER - Stephen Bull

Going into shooting this project we have a very particular approach to the visual style and tone of the film, with a heightened focus on what you don’t see and what could be lurking in the shadows. Darkness is often feared and left unexplored in cinematography, but I wanted to draw attention to the absence of light and the role that plays within presenting a visual tone that satisfies the nature of the story. With your contributions it becomes a lot easier to achieve these visuals, gaining us access to the necessary equipment and gear needed to deliver visuals that are on-par with our vision.

 

PRODUCER - Arshia Azandariani

Ballad of Blues is a tragic tale told by the most brilliant images created by the co-operation of the art department and the cinematography team. This production has ambitious plans for customs and set design. We will be building sets from scratch in a film studio and furnish and dress them. Like the sets, the customs will also be built for each actor suitable and expressive of the character who is wearing them. These exciting plans are the reason that 44% of the budget will just be dedicated to the production design. 


On the other hand, we are searching for unheard talents to cast for The Haven’s characters and give them a platform to shine in their roles. 22% of the budget is left aside for us to be able to pay for our casts transport and food and pay the necessary fees.


We already have locations that showed interest in working with us and designers and crew members who volunteered to help as they saw the potential in this project. 
For many of us this film will be a great experience in the industry and by contributing to this project you don’t only help us make our film but also our future as young film makers.

 

Your contribution makes the difference!
