Media Services recently caught up with another one of our alums, Colin Foster who has written and directed this short film entitled, The Funeral. Not only does this look like a really great film (you can see the trailer and synopsis below), but clips of it were also used in a Lynda.com tutorial created by colorist, Robbie Carman! There are also other crew members involved who are from the New Media Center, Banu Debre and Willow Williamson.
Isaac and Jenny, a comically contentious married couple, struggle with feelings of anger and loss when confronting the death of a family member. Their childish reactions to the event causes problems with their relationship, and sends them spinning toward divorce.
Colin was kind enough to also share a couple production stills (below), not to mention a bit of background about the project.
Colin Foster:
The film was officially completed this past November after going through the final phases of post production. All the members of our crew were amazing but I was particularly lucky to have Robbie Carman, a very talented colorist and post production guru, work on the film. His contribution was major, and he liked the film so much that he wound up using several clips from it as examples in a Lynda.com tutorial he was working on (I believe it was on color correction in FCP X).
