Raymond Carver Moments is playing the Brad is feeling like a third wheel. His buddy Dave is trying to pick up some girl outside their local 7-11 and he's stuck waiting for him in the parking lot. Then he sees her. She looks like she's been crying and she's just a few feet away. What does one do in those situations? Do you go to her or give her the privacy she probably wants? Brad is about to make a choice. *********** Written and Directed by Avi Glijansky Starring Jennifer Saltzein and Matt Schuneman With Alanda Spence and David Perlick Molinari Cinematography by Steven Huber Location Sound by Jared Silver Sound Design by David Perlick Molinari *********** I was introduced to Raymond Carver’s short fiction by my first screenwriting teacher Paul Harrill. He used Carver’s short stories as examples of how a short form didn’t mean that you couldn’t tell a powerful story. It wasn’t the page count that mattered, it was what was on the page. My first Short Film “Ocean City” was a rather large production as far as short films go. It clocked in at 22 minutes, and involved a 20 person crew, 2 weeks of location shooting in three different towns, and several sets and production design elements built from scratch. When I decided to make another film this past summer I knew I didn’t have the resources to undertake another project of that size. What I did have was a group of friends (including my “Ocean City” DP Steve Huber) willing to give me a night of their time for free. So I did my best to remember the lessons I learned from Messers Harrill and Carver. “Raymond Carver Moments” is the result. *********** Coming Soon ***********
