Overview
Dave is a middle-aged family man with an obsession for gardening who lives in a comfortable suburban home with his wife, Kristen, and his son, Isaac. When Dave discovers that his neighbor, Brian, has planted a new rose bush in his front lawn it provokes him into competition. It’s a story based around the ideas of obsession, validation and irrational paranoias.

Roses is a genre-blending short film, mixing dark comedy with elements of psychological thriller and horror. If you've ever had neighbors or lived in a suburb, then you already know or relate to the struggle of Roses' main character Dave. It exaggerates the common feud between neighbors and their front lawns to the extreme, providing a satirical but also haunting experience for the audience.

 

MEET THE CREATIVE TEAM BEHIND ROSES

 
The Producer
 
Bruno Zaia Augusti was born in the small town of Mucuri in the South of the state of Bahia in September 1998. His relationship with art began when he was introduced to the theater when he was 3 years old. Henceforth his passion for the arts only increased, he continued to do theater in the schools through which he passed. His greatest theatrical achievement was to present the play "Lendas e Tribos" with the theater company "Oficina dos Menestréis" during the months of August and September 2017. In October 2018, in a project devised by one of his highschool teachers, together with some friends he published the book "Os Meninos e o Mundo". In late August 2018 he began studying at the Vancouver Film School, where he seeks to learn the working of the universe of film production as yet another artistic field to be explored.
 
 
The Director
 
Morgan Bowles was born in Portland, Oregon in late August of 1995. His passion for movies was established at a young age, and by high school he was certain about becoming a filmmaker. After graduating, Morgan attended Scottsdale Community College in Arizona to study motion picture film production and editing. Here he learned the foundations of filmmaking and what it means to produce a movie from start to finish. With an associates in arts for film production and a certificate in editing, Morgan moved his way up north to Vancouver, British Columbia to finish his studies and build a network at Vancouver Film School.
 
 
The Production Designer
 
Mak Starkweather is a film student from Medford, Oregon. From a young age, Mak has always had a love of the arts and entertainment.

The Director of Photography
 
Kyle Eastwood is a film student originally from Toronto who currently attends Vancouver Film School. After high school, Kyle went to Wilfrid Laurier University for Communications. He quickly learned how awful and boring of a field he was going into, he later switched to Film Studies - a program much closer to his heart. Early on he had a desire for filmmaking, especially in the field of cinematography. After deciding filmmaking was his future, Kyle got sick of studying for film theory classes and decided to make the leap of entering film school. He puts his entire focus within film school into cinematography, and hopes to make his vision for Roses come to life.
 
 
The 1st Assistant Director
Carolina Mazo Is a VFS student with extensive experience coordinating various projects, not just inside the school but also in her career back in her home country of Colombia.

He has intuitive sense for nuanced scene construction and dramaturgy. Experience of visualizing the film’s pacing, tone and visual editing in pre-production stage by storyboarding sequences and scenes. He has previously edited over 7 short films and his recent directorial short film has won a couple awards for best editing in many film festivals across the globe.  Influenced by the filmmaking style of Krzysztof Kieslowski, David Fincher and Guy Richie, Aaditya often tries to explore twisted portrayal of characters with grey shades and subtly raise socially relevant themes with his editorial style.

 

*****

A film of this grandeur and scale couldn't be made without a budget. Dave's immaculate front lawn, a beautiful red rose bush and a gruesome final scene all call for special talent and special equipment. The crew is fortunate to already have access to professional-grade gear and software to make it through pre-production, but the film doesn't end there. With your help and support via Indiegogo, Roses can:

  1. Invest into snacks and catering for it's crew while they film and work hard
  2. Compensate professional, Vancouver local union actors for their time and performance
  3. Expand the art, production design and overall quality of the film
  4. Deliver and distribute the film to festivals and audiences around the world
  5. Compose an original and chilling score for the film

... and so much more!
