Mr Brightside my last thesis film at Chapman University is almost wrapped! This shoot has been challenging and extremely fun to shoot.

"Shade of Blue" my thesis film at Chapman University is in the middle of production. Besides a few hurdles we are making our days.  This film is about  a young man's lifelong dream is to become a working police officer, but his fantasy notion of what a cop is comes into direct conflict with the realities of the job. We are shooting "Shade of Blue" on the Panavision Millennium Super 35mm, 3Perf.  Our references for the film are 80's neo noir drama films.
