House of Poets, BVP's first production is an art film set in western North Carolina. The movie had an amazingly low-budget despite the fact that it was shot on a DVX100A with an anamorphic lens & edited in Final Cut. We used a cast of volunteer actors, free locations & a crew of 2. It took me well over a thousand hours to edit the 65 hours of captured footage from a year-long shoot. To find out more about this production, visit the links provided on the home page of this blog. The DVD just re-released features a behind-the-scenes segment that had previously been unavailable on the DVD.
Here are a few photos of the cast & crew party celebrating the completion of House of Poets.
