My guests today are Director Chris Johnson and writer/producer/actor Michelle Draper and their short film GREEN.
At a very young age, Michelle Draper realized that performing could be a job. Upon venturing west, she found her way into a small group of artists known as the Actor’s Gym.
Helmed by Bobby Moresco, the group workshops new writing as well as performance pieces. It was here that Michelle became enamored with the storytelling process.
Though Michelle has worked on many projects since arriving in Los Angeles, her new short film GREEN marks her first substantial move into the role of writer and producer.
Director Chris Johnson is the co-owner of Cineatra Media, an LA based production company. He first picked up a video camera as a teenager to make skate videos, and ended up turning it into a lifelong passion and full time career. Chris attended film school at Boston University and as an avid adventurer, has used filmmaking to travel the world.
Their short film, GREEN is an official selection at the HollyShorts Film Festival this year, so let’s welcome director Chris Johnson and writer/producer and actor Michelle Draper to the show.
Ladies and gentlemen, GREEN is a short film where a woman wakes up in the desert holding a bloody knife and lying next to a dead body; she has no idea how she got there until memories of the past 24 hours start to rise to the surface.
I could see GREEN as a future feature film where jealousy becomes a sci-fi cosmic force that wrecks havoc among the unlucky or those standing in the way.
For a film that is 8 minutes in length, it keeps your attention and wastes no time getting to the point, no pun intended.
GREEN is an official selection at this year’s HollyShorts Film Festival and I am sure it will get great reviews.
