![]() Experiences like Encounters Film Festival and Camerimage, which we attended through Challenge TRINITY, have also been a really useful way of interacting with audiences. We’ve been really pleased with the reception the film has received: when you make something like this, to such a targeted brief, it’s reassuring to know that the film stands up in its own right. The knowledge and skills I gained from shooting The Yearning (and how the film turned out) definitely pushed me to pitch a one-shot for this video!ĭaphne Schmon and Emily Carlton - Directors, Exit to StageĮxit to Stage has played at a number of Festivals, including Underwire, Canada Shorts and the London Independent Film Awards – winning awards at the last two. ![]() I am shooting a music video soon that is an exterior one-shot and I will use the ARRI Alexa Mini with the TRINITY. Our one-shot is very useful for giving future collaborators a taster for the look and feel of the feature project and Circus location, and producer Christine Hartland is including it as part of a package for the Feature to interest sales agents and potential funders. We have been using The Yearning as a calling card, and it was part of our successful application for BFI Development Funding. It is working really well as a showcase for my feature script, The Tentmaster ’ s Daughter. The Yearning is more of a teaser than a stand-alone short film so we haven’t pushed the festival route as much. We’re also screening on the Clermont Ferrand Film Festival online portal. We screened The Yearning with the other TRINITY shorts at Encounters Film Festival in Bristol and Camerimage in Torun, Poland, which were both great experiences. Challenge TRINITY has led to some great opportunities: The voice over of the film was done by Dave Vanian, lead singer of The Damned, who had a sell-out concert ‘Night of a Thousand Vampires’ at the palladium in November which I filmed - and I might be working with him on a future project. ![]() I have been using the film in addition to my showreel whilst looking for work and new projects, and once we finish the tour, we will look at licensing the film out. We have done well on the festival circuit playing at the following festivals (in addition to the ARRI and Directors UK screenings at Encounters and Camerimage): London Independent Film Festival where we won best Fantasy Short 2019, STIFF Seattle Independent Film Festival where were a Finalist, Fright Fest London where the film was praised as “Outstanding, a wonderful piece of work.”, Directors Festival of Shorts where we got a Special Mention, Cannes, London International Short Film Festival, London Lift Off Short Film Festival and Dragon Con Atlanta, where we received a standing ovation.
