ROM - The Short Film

At the bottom of the mountain again.

Ben here. Finishing a short film is always a love-hate situation for me. I love the sense of completion, that all your hard-work has culminated in a finished product, and at the same time, it absolutely grinds on me. Cause as I see it, I’m back at the bottom of the mountain again, looking up at my next completed film, and in this case the mountain is much bigger and much more daunting than the last one I towered over.

I’m excited to bring lead actor Tim Holt into the fray as Matt and I start the writing process for ROM. Not only because he’s another idea-well to pick from, but because of his enthusiasm for acting, creating characters, and the film process in general.

The first-step, as always, is trying to create an engaging and enjoyable script. Something that I as a director can be proud of. We’ve got this great bucket of ideas, that, until recently, really had no structure to them. But the outline that we have created is getting me very excited about the prospects for the future of the script.
