My Dear Friend: First Prize Skidmore Int. Film Festival

Hello! Here is an update on the Andrew Cherry film, My Deer Friend. You may find the original story on MDF HERE and the first update HERE. I served as camera operator (and camera package provider too!) My friend Nathan Blair was the Director of Photography and currently is doing the grind over on the East Coast.

Since being accepted at the DeadCenter Film Festival (Oklahoma City), Savannah Film Festival (Savannah, Georgia), First Sunday Comedy Film Festival (NYC + Winner of Judges & Audiences' Award), Etiuda and Anima Film International Competition (Poland), Oxford Film Festival (Oxford, Mississippi), Smogdance Film Festival (Los Angeles), and Macon Film and Video Festival (Macon, Georgia).... *Breath*

My Deer Friend was accepted and recently won First Prize, the Skidmore International Film Festival (Sarasota Springs, NY)

The film is available online (http://www.filmbaby.com/films/3147), at ShopSCAD, and ExLibris, the campus bookstore. A copy of the film is on display at the Savannah Airport in the SCAD display case.

Indie Spirit Film Festival: Reflection

***Attention! You are not seeing double! ***

Update regarding the film "Reflection" (2008)
Director: Dan Dowding
Directors of Photography: Alex Winter & Ryan Patrick O'Hara

Reflection has recently been accepted
to the Indie Spirit Film Festival!!!

Something look familiar? Yes, this post is almost identical to my last post because now there are TWO films I shot last year which will be showing at the 2009 Indie Spirit Film Festival!!! With two films in the festival, I have recently considered going... although, as a D.P., going to festivals usually just results in squirming around in the theater, as the film is projected with improper color or black levels!
