The Goods:
Who am I?
From a young age, I really had a passion for art. Throughout high school, I was determined to improve my artistic skills. I transferred to the School of Visual Arts in New York City where I am currently studying Computer Art, Animation, and VFX. I try to experiment with new techniques in every project I do and while I have a history in traditional mediums, motion graphics, compositing, and 3D sets are types of projects that I have found a passion for.
The Story:
This isn’t your ordinary short comedy film. It is a fast-paced thriller that will knock your socks right off! Why wait 30 min for “things to get good” when you can have a great action-packed 4 minutes!
A pretentious and short-tempered man, Stan, goes to a billiard hall to practice for an upcoming billiard tournament. He thinks he is a “hot shot” and that “all the ladies want him” but the bartender, Beth, sees right through his flirtatious facade, wants nothing to do with him, and questions what she ever did to have him come into the hall. His practice doesn’t particularly go as planned which leads to a series of accidents. What are these said accidents? Is Stan as good as he says he is at billiards? Will Beth finally put Stan in his place? We shall see…
About the Production:
This is a short story that will be packed with exciting visual effects, and a talented cast and production team. We will be filming in Bayport, NY at VIP Billiards owned by Jim Girardi in order to give us the perfect billiard and bar aesthetic we need. We are going to be achieving the tough billiard/bar vibe with our lighting palette and give it a new comedic twist with the visuals.
Our goal is 7.8k and below breaks down why. We are going to be having 10 crew members for a 4-day shoot and any support is greatly appreciated! Every contribution helps us upgrade very important items like camera lenses, lights, food to feed the crew, and more to help things run smoothly. To make this film that hysterical Robin Williams inspired film that we want, this creation needs YOU! Please, your contribution is the jet fuel we need to reach the moon!
