A Thief in the Night

22.02.07 / Thief / Author: /

This is a little sci-fi project that began to materialize last fall. Originally, it was supposed to be an entry into Bill Shatner’s science fiction short film competition to become the spokesperson for his DVD club. It did not materialize by the deadline, which was fine because I am not pretty enough to be anybody’s spokesperson!

Now, however, it is finally finished and has become my entry into Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett’s new reality show On the Lot. One of the requirements for submitting a film for consideration is to produce and submit a 30 – 45 second introductory clip and that is the first video marked “Introduction,” and the actual film itself is the entry marked “A Thief in the Night.”

I want to thank everyone involved for outstanding work:

Ken Degon and Nicole Signore for wonderful fight choreography with an additional nod to Nicole for grabbing great behind-the-scenes photos

Erick James for letting Ken Degon beat the tar out of him! (Just kidding – we did not beat Erick up that badly!)

Vanessa Cornell for also getting tossed around and for being a truly sweet person to work with

JC Carey for most excellent Production Assistant-ing

Denise Bowen for letting us film in her home and for cooking up some fantastic food for our dinner

Mike Furestein of Cucumber Alley Lighting for most excellent advice on lighting and for patient instruction on how to set up professional lights

Michal Kazlo II for use of prop guns

Hertz Rental Corp. for helping me get a cool, black car for the film

I would also like to thank a “Guiding Hand” that helped me put this production together; a Divine Influence. Everything came together so well, we all had a great time and, despite the possibility for accidents, none occurred and no one was injured. Granted, we were all sore and tired the next day, but no one was hurt and all for that I am very thankful for.

Enjoy!
