Last Sunday (the 13th), we wrapped the first day of shooting for the new Christina Bennett Lind’s short film. This new project is “an examination of 4 characters struggling to sexually identify themselves through the lens of a popular middle-aged female writer who is actively trying to write her first novel. As she confronts the challenge of identifying her target audience and her voice, she begins to challenge her own gender-identity, and her writing becomes the catalyst for the other three characters to re-define themselves and face their truths as sexual and gender outcasts. It’s a profile of the intimate struggles of this very outward and current societal issue and how it affects the daily lives of 4 ordinary people.”
The cast and crew were amazing, a 12-person crew, including 4 producers (Gene Gallerano, Brian Murphy, Christina B. Lind (director as well) and Marcarthur Baralla), cinematographer Dagmar W. Madsen worked her magic to create a beautiful visual. Two locations were scheduled for the first day: A Fort Greene apartment and a diner in Manhattan (La Bonbonniere).
-Dinner with the crew/cast at La Bonbonniere-
The next shooting days are scheduled for May the 30th and 31st…
