Philomena

So in our high school, as most comtek classes attempt to do, we produced a film. Well two actually. We did one in grade 11 that wasn't so great. Grade twelve though we had a solid story that was adapted from another story that I wrote with Mike and Julia in the summer of 2005. Philomena was a horror film that incorporated our newly built school but gave it a haunted past that was just ready to resurface. Megan directed that one, while I took on the roles of cinematographer and editor. Mike was our assistant director. Genevieve was one of our main actors. Megan Mike and Julia wrote the script while I came up with the concept. Megan and Julia also acted. So basically we pretty much did everything. Oh, and to add to that, Comtek being finished before pre-production for the film was finished, we pretty much took the project into our own hands. Which turned out for the best because it gave us total creative freedom. We can't forget our amazing Brigette who played the role of Philomena. She was the most dedicated actor we'd ever worked with. I'm currently working on another film with her and its great to work with her again. Philomena premiered for a couple hundred people in Cornwall in June of 2006. On Halloween night it played on local TV and it also won a place in an online festival on undergroundfilm.org. Later it was re-cut, and this version played at the 2008 Seaway Film Festival.
