FilmShop has partnered with Cinema-Philia, a winter film screening series in Bushwick, to produce original shorts and curate the films.  The series is run by Kweighbaye Kotee, co-founder of the Bushwick Film Festival.  The screening series is every Tuesday night throughout the winter at Nut Roaster Studios.  There’s free pizza & popcorn, cheap drinks, and good flicks.  The night begins with a selection of local short films and concludes with an obscure classic film.  Fellow Filmshopper Adam Waltner curates the feature films.

We are producing one original short for the series every month. Filmshop members brainstorm with the screening audience conducting a call and response “Who’s Line Is It Anyway” method of determining the location, genre, and characters for the short.

We produced our first film this month, Chloe’s Postman, and screened it at the series on Tuesday.  From the brainstorming session, we came up with a film noir piece that involves a conversation in an elevator between a mailman and a prostitute. The film was written and directed by Ck Swett, co-directed by Lara Sfire and Ben Donnellon, shot by Lara Sfire, and edited by Chris King.   Be sure to check it out on the films section of our website.

The film played well, and the audience was eager to brainstorm for the next piece.  After suggestions went back and forth, we concluded that our next film would be a musical  in a church.  The characters are Satan & an environmentalist, and the tag line is recycle, reduce, & repent.  Filmshopper Sean Yeaton  is slated to write this next film, and we’ll be screening at the film series in late February.
