Today’s guest post is the first of three coming from the filmmaker Sol Tryon.
The Living Wake has been a truly original project from the get go. With a creative team of first time filmmakers we knew every phase of getting this film made and distributed was going to be an immense challenge. Peter Kline, Mike O’Connell and myself developed the project from its origins as a 20-page one-man show into a full-length feature film.
Once we had the script ready to go, we knew it was going to be something that we were going to have to make on our own to prove ourselves to the film community. We shot a short film based on the characters from the feature to help us show investors that we had a distinct voice and vision. From there we were able to raise our seed money to get us going.
The three of us moved to Maine intent on making this film however we could.
