New Project: Grace

Salty Samurai Studios' own Sheldon Steere, along with Producer / Director Stephanie Emerson, and Producer / Director Roth Rind will be working together with the following: Mohammad Harirsaz as Sound Director, Kelly Miller as Sound Assistant Director, Christianna Gunn as 2nd Assistant Director, Amani Marie as Script Supervisor, Geva Whyte as Camera Assistant, Matt Cross as Key Gaffer, Boran Vukajlovic as Gaffer, Dan Lyons as Key Grip, Rich Hagedorn as Electrician, Stuart Rind as Special Effects Coordinator, Dylan Baker as Special Effects Assistant, Ashley Elieff as Costume Designer, Stacey Morrison as Makeup Artist, Katie Lanning as Set Dresser, and Guy Denues as the Licensed on-site EMT; starting this month, to bring to life the story of Grace, a short film that touches on the subjects of war and humanity, and the fine line between them.

Summary: "It's the Korean War and John, a United States soldier, finds himself trapped in a collapsed underground tunnel with a North Korean foot soldier, Dae-Hyun. What would you do if you were trapped with your worst enemy?"

The most amazing thing about this production is that it will be the first time we have worked with live explosions and squibs, and there will also need to be a fake tunnel set that has been rigged to collapse. All of this will make, for a very difficult shoot, but more importantly it should make for a very interesting film. Shooting is planned to begin in March, and I will give updates as the shooting progresses.
