Dependent short film
Video Production
Position
Director / Writer / Video Editor
Project Description
I have been working in the film industry for many years, and decided to approach a short film myself. Having it be my first project, I decided to put as much passion into it as possible. I Co-Wrote, Co-Directed, orchestrated the Cinematography, and edited the film. It was such a hard task, and finding crew was hard. The film was shot over 9 months both on Digital and VHS. Due to lack of funds, the film crew donated all of their time to the project. If you care to watch it I can share a private link. As it is currently in consideration for film festivals I do not want to break the festival rules by having it public online.
SYNOPSIS
The world has come to a full stop, even more so for Miles. Each day without her reminds him of the emptiness of his life, a void he begins to fill with alcohol and drugs. As he slips further and further into an abyss, Miles must decide whether to continue to drown himself with the past or finally move forward.
Chicago Partnerships
Early in pre-production the team at Birchman Productions set a goal to showcase the vibrant and diverse local businesses within Chicago. Recognizing the integral role that the city plays in the film, we felt it was imperative to highlight the businesses that call Chicago home. Through personal connections and partnerships, we were able to collaborate with a number of outstanding local businesses, including Big G’s Pizza, ODIN Clothing line, Rayans Liquor, Savo Ceramics, Missin’ The Homies Podcast, and local artist Joshua Horita, who is also a member of our crew.
Their contributions have had a significant impact on the film, and we are deeply grateful for their support and participation. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to these businesses for being a part of our extended family, and for helping make Dependent possible. On behalf of everyone at Birchman Productions, as well as the cast and crew of Dependent, we extend our deepest appreciation for your invaluable support.
