Latest Film and Video Projects

Filed under: projects — Tags: , , , , , , — Danila @ 2:23 am

Last spring I acted in a bunch of student film projects at Ithaca college.

The sickest was an experimental film shot on 16mm black and white film called Time’s Arrow. It’s been submitted to a bunch of film festivals, and is going to be screened at the upcoming Rhode Island International Film Festival. The film was a lot of fun to make, and was the first time I have worked on actual cellulose.

Another fun one was a cooking show named “Gourmet for a Day,” an ambitious, full-length cooking show shot in hi-definition video and made for a senior thesis. The first part of the show is available on youtube:

The third one was a very intense rape-revenge flick, where I played what I’ll euphemistically call a “father figure.”

Finally, an about.com video Lea and I made years ago has finally made it online. Check it: How to change a bike tire.

I’m in another about.com video, shot and edited by none other than Lea LSF. This one is about planting garlic on our beautiful land in Western New York.

I made a sweet video

With a bit of patience and a touch of awesomeness, I’ve made a very short video for this contest. It’s supposed to show what you’re saving for (which I did), and what you’re doing to save the money (which I didn’t do).

So far, it looks like there are only 4 other competitors, and 3 of them broke the rules by having videos longer than 60 seconds. Maybe I have a chance?

So this is quite old at this point, but I still like it. Nothing like showing the world how to eat spaghetti properly. Hopefully there will be more of these in the future!
