Issue #202 – Apprentices in Action
by Liya Swift
Despite having just wrapped a jam-packed shoot for a TV series, when Film Connection student Jacob Sizemore pitched his own short film “Song of Silence” to his fellow students and mentor Deen Olatunji at Rehoboth Pictures (Dallas, TX), they agreed to crew up and make his movie a reality. Of course, challenges were met along the way: “This was to be the hardest project I had worked on yet… the first few days the weather was horrible, actors showed up late, extras canceled, and props either went missing or broke. Despite all that, the actors that I had pulled out really good performances, the cinematography in the film is very impressive, and the crew members were able to push through tough times. I am very proud of all of them…
The final day of shooting was one big race against time and I’m glad to say, despite a few setbacks, we pulled it off and I’m happy with what we have on film. I am so happy to have been able to go through this experience and work with all these amazing people, at the same time I miss my bed. I’m eager to start editing the film so that we can see where it will go from there.”
Since studying with mentor Joey Paranoia, Recording Connection student Emily Stamer aka LUCY (Orlando, FL) has kicked her DJ career into high-gear, blazing trails in the Space Bass EDM scene. She’s played countless Orlando and Miami clubs, opened for Yheti, Shlump, The Widdler, Digital Ethos, Conrank and more. Lucy’s played festivals Zen Awakening, Fractal Beach and will be playing the Asteria Music Fest (again) and The Untz in California, happening in June. She’s released her Abduction EP this past January and has a new track dropping on a female compilation on ThazDope Records on the 13th! Hear a track by LUCY below!
