Our Film

"Mirror" is a short NYU thesis film.  It's an experimental dark comedy about Frank, a middle-aged man who works as an emergency responder in an office bathroom.  From a young age, he has wanted to be a businessman, but this job is the closest he can get to the business world.  

"Mirror" takes place in an office bathroom which has an "in case of emergency" button.  When people press this button, a small panel opens to reveal Frank, who is there to help with any emergency - large or small.  At one point, Frank is transported through toilet pipes into an alternate space where he is confronted with his past.

This film will experiment with visual effects, green screen technology, movable set pieces, and one-way mirrors.  These effects are highly ambitious for a student film, which is why our crew is excited for the challenge!

Our Crew

Writer/Director - Danielle Pruden: Danielle is a senior at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.  She is very excited to be making her second and final film at NYU.  This idea is one she has been developing for a while now and can't wait to see it come to life.

Producers - Taylor Wildenhaus & Rick Swenson: A dynamic producing duo, Rick and Taylor began working together while studying abroad in Prague and are thrilled to be working together again for Danielle's film.

Director of Photography - Alexander Hufschmid: Alex is an accomplished cinematographer and filmmaker.  He has photographed several student and professional projects.  His talent and great eye for lighting and framing will be a huge asset to this highly visual film.

Assistant Director - Tien Chi Fu

Sound Mixer - Dylan Jalowski

Boom Operator - Crystal Zhang

Assistant Camera - Michelle Laird

Gaffer - Brad Morse

Grip - Nicholas Giuricich

Script Supervisor - Andrew Scott

Our Goals

This film relies heavily on set construction and visual effects.  We are building two different sets to create Frank's world and we want it to be as realistic as possible.  We can't do this without your help!  

Most of the budget is going towards building Frank's bathroom.  The remaining budget is dedicated to film expenses like transportation, equipment, and meals for our talented cast and crew.

Any donation goes a long way.  Please help Danielle and her crew to make this film one to be proud of!
