Prescreening

I found this website this weekend. I am very thankful that I came across it because it has made a dream (that I have had since lunch) come true. With the help of this website, I was able to pen my first movie. Honestly, it’s nothing like what I thought my first movie would be. I imagined it involving car chases, espionage, double agents, massive explosions, and Vulcan death grips. It contains none of that.

For my writing-acting-directing debut, I decided to do something that gravitated around the characters rather than something you might find in some Hollywood summer blockbuster. I wanted to do something more intelligent, more compelling. This independent short explores the inter-workings of married life and brings it to the screen with hard hitting truths solely through dialogue and very powerful performances by the two leads (one being me.) I also have to give credit to my co-star who plays her part with raw, startlingly honest conviction, and without whom none of this would have even been possible.

I have sent a copy to the Sundance Film Festival and am awaiting feedback. Even so, if they do decide to show it, it won’t be until January 2010. I can’t wait that long, I feel the need to share my work with the world so right now, right here you will be among the first to view my film.

Just so you know, the film is cut into five segments, each picking up exactly where the last left off. I would like to say I did this for your convenience in case you were not able to view the film in its entirety in a single sitting, however in reality the website will only allow you to film a about a 1.5min at a time.

Without further ado, I present to you: The Moore You Know.
