7. “Bored on the Fourth of July” (2015)

Short film – 6 mins

Drama

Just a fun little project and I loved it!
I was the co-director, DP and the editor. 48 hours straight stayed awake, I looked like a zombie afterward. But a lovely work was done.

Not sure about competing any other 48 hours Film Project. I never need a prize in my life and I never competed anything in any contest. This is just the first one. Mostly, I did it because I was invited to join and I just wanted to test myself under a pressure. And I just love filming, that’s all. Many people who have been following me for long on the internet, they know that!

In the end, enjoy it. We enjoyed making it. And I hope you enjoy watching it.
Here are the required elements in the movie:

– Character: Wendy Poe, unpublished author (for female)
– Required line: “That has to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard”
– Required prop: A french baguette
– Genre: Holiday Film

Length: From 4 to 7 mins.

I just added the BTS video in for the web version! Video by Brazen Charm Productions

9. Aethelred Eldridge’s wonder world

Documentary – 1 hour

(The below version is only the short draft)

Æthelred Eldridge (born James Edward Leonard Eldridge on April 21, 1930, in Monroe, Michigan) is an academic and avant-garde painter. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Ohio University School of Art where he has been teaching since 1957. He is best known for his black and white art accompanied by esoteric writings inspired by William Blake, and the founding of a “Church of William Blake” not far from his home in Athens, Ohio. The church eventually burned down; Eldridge still claims arson

Prior to teaching, he was a college football player at the University of Michigan, a pilot and an officer in the U.S. Navy.

In 1996, he voted for Bob Dole in the presidential election and was sorely disappointed when the presidential candidate lost by great numbers

His classes are hard to define and almost function as performance pieces. According to Ron Kroutel, professor emeritus of art at Ohio University: “the School of Art gave him his own curriculum. His style does not cleanly fit into any specific category of art.” Students at Ohio University will know his 50 by 80-ft mural on a wall on Seigfred Hall.

Æthelred is listed in the Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes,[4] which characterizes his works as “self-described ‘invective pamphlets’ are both cryptically pedantic, and at times autobiographical, all within his own mythopoeia. … Similar to the texts accompanying his images, his class lectures are themselves works of art. Æthelred weaves playful, sometimes invective speech tapestries with outlandish word associations, electrically charged phonetics and scrambled catchphrases that succeed or fail with his often baffled listeners. (wikipedia)

Eldridge is one of the best thing that happened to me while studying here in OU, Athens, OH. This documentary will be kept carrying on until I have no more chance to film him 🙂

This doc is not yet published to the public.
