Hi everyone. For those of you who know me and those of you who don't, I'm Nelly. I decided to start another blog. I've always wanted to start one, but I never knew what to write about. Then I realized I live a pretty interesting life as a film student living in New York City. I'm a junior in New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. After a relatively less stressful semester abroad, I've come back to once again throw myself into the crazy world that is making student films.
I will be shooting a short film for my Intermediate Experimental Production Class in mid-April. Right now my producer Alexa and I have been meeting to discuss how we're going to get this film made, where we're going to shoot, who will be on crew, etc. The biggest issue is money. We've been trying to raise money through IndieGoGo, but so far we're not even close to our goal.
Time for some self-promotion.
If you can, please donate to my short film, Catharsis
Every dollar counts.
Anyway, I'm going home back to Long Island to take some location photos of Jones Beach. My film has two locations, the inside of a bedroom and a beach. The beach requires more effort to require because it's state property, which means we need to apply for permits.
Oh. My film is about a young woman going through the five stages of grief after her boyfriend dies in an accident. It's gonna be shot on the Canon 7D. This is the first time I'm making a film with a considerable budget and I really hope we can made it work.
-Nelly
