Mnemosyne

One of the things that’s been keeping me busy over the past few months is that I’m producing and assistant directing a thesis film for a student a few years ahead of me.  The film, one of the most ambitious short film’s I’ve ever seen, is a space film that is being shot on 35mm.  We’re  (by we I mean the art department) actually building the interior of a spaceship at the UT studios.

The shoot is divided into several parts to give us time to build the various locations.  We just wrapped the first phase this past Monday.  We’ll shoot phase two at the end of July.  Then there’s some location work for the end of summer / early fall.

Here are pictures that various people took:
