This last weekend I shot a short called “Cursed” with writer/director Digant Kasundra. I was “DP,” although given the guerrilla nature of the shoot I was basically just running the camera and setting up some minimal lighting.
All things considered, the shoot went very well. We started at 5pm and ran until 2am, Saturday and Sunday. Despite the late hour, the actors did not lose energy, which was very impressive.
The story is about 3 slackers who think an avenging force (a stalker) is coming to kill them, because of all the rotten things they’ve done in the recent past. It’s a very funny script…
Three roommates review the foul sins of their lives while investigating the root cause of mysterious events on an otherwise peaceful night
The summary doesn’t really do justice to the writing, which is completely hysterical.
Another note was we used a SAG actress on the shoot. She was very good, and the forms weren’t so bad. We were at “Student,” so I still have to see the forms for the next level up, “Ultra-low budget.”
