Hello! My name is Sebastian Savino. I’m a filmmaker setting out to produce my senior thesis film at NYU Tisch. This project will allow me to put everything I’ve learned over these four years into one incredible short film. Making a movie of this size and scope is expensive and I can’t do it without your support. Your contribution will help me realize this vision and continue my journey as a filmmaker.

The Story

Entropic is about our never-ending pursuit for meaning and purpose in life. 

Milton is an egocentric cosmologist who has designed a universe in the hopes of computing the meaning of life. Clark is an anxious introvert who has finally built up the courage to introduce himself to the grocery store cashier of his dreams. Liam is a small town crook who is about to rob that same grocery store.  Universes collide when Milton’s experiment inadvertently  spawns a massive portal in the center of the store. 

How You Can Help!  

We still need to raise a large portion of our budget for this movie to happen. Your contributions will go towards things like:

• Professional equipment
• Production design
• Costumes & Props
• Location fees
• Food & transportation
• Special Effects
• Post-production

Why Get Involved? 

Each year it’s becoming harder and harder for filmmakers to produce the stories they want to tell. Not only will your contribution help me realize my vision, it will also support the independent filmmaking community on a larger scale.

Throughout my four years in film school, I’ve produced over a dozen short films and commercials. In 2011, I started a film production company that has gone on to develop an exciting library of content and services. Down the road, I’ve made a ton of mistakes and encountered a tremendous amount of stress. But at the end of the day, I have the same passion for filmmaking that I had when I was making action movies in middle school. This has been my dream for as long as I can remember. With your support, we can enjoy that dream together and make one incredible film!

Meet The Crew 

Sebastian Savino (writer/director):   In 2010, Savino enrolled in NYU Tisch School of The Arts, where he is receiving a BFA in film and television production and entertainment business. In conjunction with his academics, Savino co-founded Virtuoso Picture House, a media company where he serves as President. In recent years, Savino has produced over a dozen independent films, directed a music video for Grammy Award-winner Wyclef Jean, and collaborated with brands like Sam Ash Music Corp, WeSC Clothing, and Lions Club International. Fine Print, Savino’s first short film, premiered at the Garden State Film Festival in Atlantic City last April. He’s currently a student member of the Producer’s Guild of America, East. 

Cory Fraiman-Lott (Cinematographer): graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with a specialization in cinematography, a working permit-member of New York’s IATSE Local 52 Grip & Electric Union, and with training at Schumacher Camera and Essanay Lighting Studio, two notable rental houses in the Chicagoland area, Cory has applied his eye for aesthetics to dozens of student and professional projects, both narrative and commercial. In his spare time, Cory enjoys cats and the taste of red meat. But never together.

Eric Perini (Assistant Director): Raised in North Carolina, son of two wayward New York City artists, it's always been Eric's destiny to produce and AD Entropic. An award winning director in his own right, Eric prides himself on two things: experience in all roles of a film set and above all, having the biggest heart. Eric believes in this project so much, he's been willing to sacrifice what he loves most to make it happen (aka he's holding off on re-watching The Wire and has reduced his milkshake consumption to a weekly count of...7).
