INTERPRETATIONS Short Film Spotlight: CANVAS

  • August 26, 2010 1:57 pm

As many of you already know, we’ve launched a new film initiative entitled INTERPRETATIONS to support aspiring filmmakers. In a nutshell, you make a short film of no more than 3 minutes using the same script we provide (get all the info here). To help us launch, we commissioned several filmmaker friends to make their own shorts using our script and we’ll be featuring each one of them here (including a few words from the filmmakers themselves). Just a reminder that the deadline has been extended to 11:59 PM PST on Sept. 15. Also, check out our latest INTERPRETATIONS blogs including a Q&A with producer Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes) and an edited transcript of the INTREPRETATIONS New York panel.

Today we present our final commissioned sample short Canvas by Mora Stephens and starring acclaimed artist James Jean:

INTERPRETATIONS UPDATE: More Guests And Treats Added For Our May 2 Panel

  • April 23, 2010 1:06 am

Just a little over a week until INTERPRETATIONS: So You Really Want To Make Films?, our FREE, SOLD-OUT May 2 filmmaking panel taking place during the Los Angeles Asian Film Festival and we’re very happy and excited to announce the addition of even more cool folks to the event (see below). Even though it’s sold-out, there will be a number of rush tickets available the day of. So come on down and we’ll do our best to get everyone in.

One of the things we’ll be doing that day is launching INTERPRETATIONS, our new initiative designed to support our community of aspiring filmmakers (if you want to make films, that’s YOU!). We’ve commissioned a few filmmaker friends to make their own shorts to help us launch this initiative and we’ll be screening some of them at the panel. Three of the filmmakers will be on hand to say a few words about their work and INTERPRETATIONS:

Danny Pudi (star NBC’s Community)

Mora Stephens (director Conventioneers, winner of the Independent Spirit Awards’ John Cassavettes Award)

YOMYOMF’s own Iris Yamashita (Oscar-nominated writer Letters From Iwo Jima)
