Shot on 16mm film for a Production II class. The project was an "exchange" film, meaning we were given a treatment by another classmate and then had to adapt it as our own. All that carried over from the treatment I was given was the paper cranes... I added the whole mother crisis and what have you. The film had to be without dialogue.
To get the excuses out of the way: this was shot in six hours and I was the only person on the crew. The actor is just someone i've jammed with for years. For that reason, i'd consider it more of an "exercise" than a film. That being said, i'm pretty satisfied with the final product. I'd love to hear what some of you make of it.
Yes, I folded all the paper cranes. I ended up folding over 200 of them.
Oh, and all the sound was post-sync, meaning that no sound whatsoever was recorded on set. A time consuming process, but creatively it's as satisfying as anything in filmmaking.
In about two weeks time, i'll post what i'd consider my legitimate directing debut (for a narrative film) - I say that as I worked with a large crew and found an actress from an outside source.

Despite how much more difficult it is to work with than digital video, I really do prefer film.
And my god that's alot of cranes. I mean, ALOT of cranes.

Did you intentionally decide not to record any sound on set, or did something happen that caused you to lose all the sound from the film? I'm afraid I don't get what message you're trying to express through the film though I couldn't make out what the cards were, did his mum die?
