PERFIDIOUS WAS A THREE-MONTH PROJECT OF MINE THAT I AM VERY PROUD OF. I

DECIDED TO MAKE THIS TO GET THE FEEL OF WHAT IT TAKES TO CREATE A SHORT

FILM. I DID EVERYTHING FROM STORYBOARDING, SET DESIGN, SPECIAL EFFECTS,

LOCATION SCOUTING, WARDROBE, AND EDITING, ALL ON TOP OF DIRECTING (WITH A

FEW EXTRA HANDS FROM FRIENDS AT TIMES). I GAINED GREAT INSIGHT ON THE

RESPONSIBILITIES THAT A DIRECTOR UNDERGOES WHEN CREATING A FILM. I LEARNED

HOW TO EXPLAIN TO MY ACTORS WHO THEIR CHARACTER IS AND WHEN AND WHY

THEY SHOULD BE FEELING/EXPRESSING A CERTAIN EMOTION. I HAD TO CONSTANTLY

BE AWARE OF CONTINUITY ERRORS ON SET AND FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES OF THE

SCRIPT. I BECAME FAMILIAR WITH MAKING SCENES WORK WITH LIMITED ELEMENTS

WHILE BEING ON A TIGHT TIME SCHEDULE. EDITING, COLOR GRADING, AND SPECIAL

EFFECTS WERE DONE ON PREMIERE PRO, HIT FILM 2, AND PHOTOSHOP. THE FILM WAS

SHOT IN VERMILLION AND YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA. I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE

THAT PERFIDIOUS HAS BEEN CHOSEN AS AN OFFICIAL SELECTION FOR THE SIOUX

EMPIRE FILM FESTIVAL.
