New Moon Dissolved

New Moon Dissolved was written and directed by myself.  It took about a year’s worth of editing and revising, as well as getting feedback from my peers and mentors, to create the final script. What started out as a three minute Cine Roman evolved into a fully fledged short film over the course of 3 semesters.  This project was used as my capstone when I graduated.

New Moon Dissolved was a new kind of project for me.  It was more artistic and experimental than anything I had done before.  It took a lot of forethought to make sure that we had the assets necessary to pull off such a difficult project.  This was the first project I had done with a full crew, including students as young as freshman.  I learned the importance of total trust when working on a collaborative piece, and it really opened my eyes to the social beauty of filmmaking.

“A young woman named Kathy has been dating Jacob for a few days. The two go on a couple of dates together to get to know one another. Eventually Jacob begins pressuring Kathy to sleep with him, though she does not feel she is ready. Eventually Kathy forgives him for prying, and gives him another chance. Though this may not go as well as she thought.”

This film was shot digitally with dimensions of 16:9, and the date of completion was May 2022.

This film has not been accepted into any festivals as of right now.

New Moon Dissolved was written and directed by myself with cinematography by Taliya Harmon. It was co-produced by myself and Taylor Middleton, and post-production was lead by Tony King.
