Ithaca Video Production Team Begins Independent Film Production
01/15/2005
Lindstrom/Hicks, the award-winning video production team based in Ithaca, New York, has begun pre-production on the company's first full-length feature film, "Waiting on Alvie" slated to being shooting this Spring. In addition to numerous corporate and educational video projects, Lindstrom/Hicks, along with Larry Baum of Ithaca's Computing Center, released the 45-minute feature, "Cayuga Lake Wine Country: Road Trip" early last year."Producing the wine trail feature made us realize we can take that same formula and talent pool to produce a narrative that can run the film festival circuit," says Eric C Lindstrom, Producer. "Kevin Hicks and I wrote this screenplay over a year ago and decided in the past month to produce it on our own. We are now casting the parts and assembling the crew. We are also seeking investors to make this the best movie it can possibly be."The movie will be shot and edited in digital video, which has had a tremendous impact on the filmmaking industry. Many of today's top independent films are shot on digital video and this is not only a cost-saving measure but it saves time in postproduction as well. "Our experience with digital video has been so successful we decided to make this movie completely on a digital platform," said Kevin Hicks, Director. "DV technology and improvements in video cameras has made it possible to create low-cost movies with high aesthetic value. More and more movie makers are going in that direction."The movie takes place in a café in New York joining two hitmen in an overnight standoff. Gus, flown in from Chicago, awaits the order to kill Alfie or let him live. With nowhere to go and nothing to do, they are in a face-off that turns minutes to hours. As today becomes tomorrow, the two find themselves discussing life, society, food -- and a secret from the past that comes crashing down. The team hopes to make the movie in Ithaca this March.For more information, contact Eric C Lindstrom at 607-277-8901 or email e-mail protected from spam bots..
