Recently completed short film, “Release” produced for entry into this year’s Very Short Film Festival, stars Emily Teede and Hannah North. The cast is seen here on set in early April. The one-day shoot followed a two-hour rehearsal the week before when the actors first met and I was able to put them through their emotional paces. I so enjoy working with actors and especially on an experimental dramatic idea like this where there was no scripted dialogue and rehearsal prior to production was so important. It meant that on the shoot the actors already understood how each worked and their story-bond and it all flowed from there. For me as a director, the experience was an exciting and rewarding collaboration.
