THE LONG VIEW: My plan for "Ten Short Films About Finding Your Dog"

THE PLAN:

In conjunction with my work as an Assistant Professor of Practice in Film at Purdue University, I plan to make these short films as a hybrid professional and educational experience, by hiring the best Production Heads from Los Angeles and New York (namely, Cinematographer, Lighting Designer/Gaffer, Production Audio Mixer) to fly in to West Lafayette, Indiana and work with me as director alongside 10-12 of my best, most promising undergraduate students.

One Short Film a Year.

For The Next Ten Years.

Financed in Part By Independent Donors, Purdue University and Satori Studios, LLC.

Each Short Film, It's Own Self Contained Short

Together, All Ten Films Will Be Edited Together as a Feature Film To Be Released in 2038. Each Film is Dedicated to its corresponding Ox-Herding Painting's Theme.
