OK, finally received the follow-up email
Here is the email I received today as follow up to my query:
Hi Sharon,
I actually saw your story at
www.sffworld.com. It's a website that posts short stories. The site's a great source for filmmakers, plenty of great material! But yours really caught my attention.
Thinking ahead, we can make it dark and artistic- think Sin City but with color. Furthermore, it wasn’t only your concept that caught my attention but your narrative really inspired me. I just love the way you eloquently unravel the story. If we we're to go forward, I would want your narrative in there as well. Obviously we would have to turn into a script, I can do that, but I do want you to be involved as much as possible. I definitely don’t want to change anything from your story, I think it’s perfect, but making it into film is another thing. And like I said before, I really want to add your narration into the film. We can bill the movie as Sharon Cullars “Untitled Movie. This is where I stand on this: I just want to see this concept made into a short film.
A little bio on myself:
I’ve been producing and directing short films for the past few years. I actually just wrapped-up a 25 minute short, we shot it in super 16. I have a few other projects slated for a summer shoot and other projects slated for next year. I’m really young for this industry, barely 23, but I’ve got a plethora of experience to show for, and my crew is great and experienced;. Of course, with any Director and Producer, it’s hard to break into the professional industry without a great demo reel! It’s also hard to achieve a great demo reel without the proper resources and finances. But, this is where it gets good, that isn’t a problem anymore; I have the resources and financial back up from another production company. I also have a group of talented individuals working with me. From composer to DOP
(what exactly is a DOP), these people are extremely talented. However, as I continue to grow as a director, I will eventually have to give up on producing, but I have other people producing for me as I speak. We’ll also make sure we land a few established actors for your film. It'll be run as a professional movie shoot.
So , Sharon, let’s get your vision into a visual format! You can call me at my business line, xxx-xxx-xxxx (
x'd out for privacy reasons). We can further discuss this and plan out any arrangements.
Best Regards,
Steven Cerritos
