12 Feb Boston Gets Weird with “Entropia” on March 23

Entropia will be screening at the Brattle Theater on March 23 at 5:30pm. Directed by Marinah Janello, Entropia is a short film about a woman trying to regain her youth through her taxidermy and spell books. The film stars Pat O’Hara and sound design was crafted by Evan Phennicie. Everyone on the Entropia team is thrilled to be screening at BUFF.

I was delighted to serve as the film’s cinematographer. Marinah was dedicated to shooting on 16mm film with a Bolex camera to achieve the film’s unique look. It was an exciting challenge that I readily accepted. It was drastically different to work without monitors and winding the camera for each take, but it brought us all together allowing for amazing collaboration to take place. For me it was refreshing to work on a project with so much artistic vision, passion, and an incredibly dedicated performance.

27 Sep Celtics Media Day!

For the 3rd year in a row I had the privilege of shooting with the Boston Celtics on Media Day! This year’s location was High Output Charles River Studios in Canton, MA. For the Celtics we use a blue screen because their jerseys are green. When a chroma backdrop is lit it is easy to key and the background can be replaced with anything! We also use a teleprompter because each player has a different script and we need to work quickly. It is easy for our prompter operator, Stephanie Lozen-Kowalski from Teleprompters of Boston, to make script adjustments on the fly. Using a prompter is great for any information heavy video. It helps the performer stay on script and also helps with timing since the prompter script can be slowed down or sped up as needed.

Thanks to everyone who made this shoot possible, especially the players who rocked it on camera and the entire Celtics organization! Here’s to another awesome season! Let’s Go C’s! Produced by Margaux Stunzi of Element Productions, Teleprompter Operator Stephanie Lozen-Kowalski, Sound Mixer Matthew Glover, Grip Jack Garrett, Strategy Coordinator, Business Development for the Boston Celtics Alec Spivack.
