Love Is A Shotgun

Some love never dies. But it can hurt so much that there is nothing left, nothing but hard decisions and even harsher consequences.

This film was one of my early efforts, and it marked the first time I felt that I had successfully achieved the  tricky translation from script to film in a way that told the same story (which basically means the film turned out something like the way I planned it).

Process

Preproduction
Here are selection of the storyboards that we created when planning out the film.

The Shoot

We shot the film over two days in a very small patch of elm forest at the back of my family's home in the country. Despite the extremely tight schedule and some last minute panic at the end of the first day, we got everything we needed thanks to a very organized and enthusiastic crew. That, and my family's home cooked catering.
