I saw the script Infinity on the first day of 482, a capstone course in advanced production. I remember feeling that I should except the project before someone else had a chance to grab it up. Although I had planned on having my own written material for this class, building my own darkroom for shooting stills seemed more interesting at the time.
After casting over 15 actors and shooting across 12 locations, Infinity wrapped after being in production for only 7 weeks. It was literally shot between the actors' classes because I had to work to pay for school and the movie. My job was a 100 mile commute to Louisville which I made every weekend thus it was impossible to shoot on the weekends, talk about a logistical nightmare!
Looking back on the project I've realized that the greatest accomplishment was in the producing, a crash course in project management.
I co-wrote, directed, acted, and edited the film; then, I authoured a four-menu DVD. When it was all done I lunched a premier that was covered by WBKO, a televison station; The Daily News, the town's newspaper; and the radio station.
Prior to the Event, I produced posters and tee-shirts which were designed by a commisoned graphic designer, another student I sought out myself. So in conjunction with the greatest talent the school could produce, spanning across the liberal arts degree program, I kicked off the first ever premier the school had evern seen...pizza to boot.
I sent Infinity to only one film festival, Hollywood International Film Festival. A California festival that ran for a week and was know for its avant-garde entries. It was excepted and showed on Friday night at 7pm.
