Am I The Main Character?
Guy #2 storms into the war scene with Jerry, but realizes that this war might be a movie scene, and to ensure his survival he needs to know if he is the main character. Am I The Main Character is a Comedy and Action short film co-written, co-directed, and co-edited by myself and Garrett Viskov. I also served as the Cinematographer for the project.
Creative Statement
We wanted the comedy to be focus of the film, but rather then using the meta-dialogue for humor, we used it strictly as a story tool, and let the comedy come from the seriousness everyone took the scene. As the cinematographer we wanted to maintain a gritty look to the film to play off the serious tone the actors delivered each line.
Stills from the Film
An Example of even after breaking the 4th wall we maintain a serious tone both in the acting and cinematography.
When changing to a daylight location, we still maintain a serious tone to the humor.
