Open Call: Pitch Reels

Domino Falls Pitch:

David, a young soldier just returned from Iraq, struggles to readjust to his quiet life in the California suburbs. Simple daily routines trigger horrific hallucinations, visions of one terrifying night in combat in which he and his friends searched an Iraqi house and gunned down a teenager suspected of being a terrorist. My 3-minute short will follow David as he deals with a redeployment notice while trying to shut out vivid memories of that fateful night in Iraq. The flashbacks will be shot in Night-Vision, which is exactly how the soldiers experience night raids. I've already performed some system tests and have prepared a teaser (see "Domino Falls") but the final piece will be shot in HD with my new rig, which includes a true HD camera, cinema lens adapter, prime lenses, follow focus, camera stabilizer, light kits, dolly and track. And I have an experienced and dedicated crew to help ensure high production value.
