ABSTRACT Writing and Directing the Short Film, Barry Jacob K ABSTRACT Writing and Directing the Short Film, Barry Jacob K. Robinson, M.A. Mentor: Christopher J. Hansen, M.F.A. The following thesis discusses the creative process behind the short film Barry, addressing the pre-production, production, and post-production phases of the film. This includes personal and professional goals for the project, influences on the film and my filmmaking approach in general, an analysis of the film, the methods used in producing the film, and personal reflections on decisions made throughout. Barry is a project that has evolved through a long process of analyzing personal beliefs, fears, and aspirations. In many ways, the film is ambiguous; this is by design. The process outlined in this paper will hopefully shed light on some of the more obscured elements of the film while still allowing the reader and viewer to experience and project his or her own interpretations and experiences onto the final work.

In addition to providing an analysis of the script for Barry, this paper details the works that have influenced the film and my approach as a filmmaker and addresses the methods by which the film was produced. It should be noted at the outset that this work is divided into two distinct halves, separated by a major shift. When preparing the paper for final presentation I felt it prudent to leave much of the first half in tact; that is, the discussion of influences and process is in its original creative state before the major shift occurred

Sales Contact: ICM/ Jessica Lacy [email protected] / (310) 550-4316 SUBMARINE/ Josh Braun [email protected] / (212) 625-1410 Press Contact: BRIGADE / Gerilyn Shur [email protected] / 917-551-5838 SYNOPSIS A young couple in their early 20s, Dan and Melanie, have known each other since childhood. Now their 6-year romantic relationship is put to the test when Dan receives an attractive job offer from the record label with whom he interns, and he must choose between a move forward and a future with Mel. Growth and temptation happen – but will their relationship remain part of their future? Writer/director Hannah Fidell explores the struggles of young love as it begins to face the next steps into adulthood. Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield give warm, genuine performances as Mel and Dan, alongside Lindsay Burdge (star of Fidell’s A TEACHER) as a colleague of Dan’s who entices him in more ways than one. HANNAH FIDELL DISCUSSES 6 YEARS I wrote 6 Years focusing on the relationship of two young adults. Who hasn’t had a first love? And who hasn’t gone through a breakup with said first love? (for those of you who are married to that first person...please ignore…) More than anything though, I modeled Dan and Mel’s world on my group of friends in college. Although, the fighting and the physical violence, that was pure fiction. The script was in great hands with Taissa and Ben.

  • Times BFI Film Festival 2007
    Times BFI Film Festival 2007 By Lana Gorlitz Spring 2008 Issue of KINEMA DARJEELING LIMITED at the TIMES BFI FILM FESTIVAL The Times BFI London Film Festival (17 October-1 November 2007) celebrated its 51st anniversary last year, hosting 185 feature films and 133 short films from 43 countries. The LFF thrives as a ”festival of festivals,” choosing the best films available on the circuit. This creates an atmosphere which focuses primarily on audience participation and enjoyment rather than the typical emphasis on the industry and the acquisition of distribution rights. The principal concern for Sandra Hebron, Artistic Director of the LFF, was ”to select films which showed another way of looking at the world.” By all accounts, that was a mission accomplished. From the pursuit of a spiritual self in The Darjeeling Limited, and a lonely voyage to Alaska in Into The Wild, to a glimpse into the world of Bob Dylan in I’m Not There, and a young girl’s experience of Iran’s Islamic Revolution in Persepolis, the festival achieved a level of diversity only matched by the bustling city that was its host. This year, the festival opened with the UK premiere of David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises and closed with Wes Anderson’s highly anticipated film, The Darjeeling Limited. As a long-standing enthusiast of Anderson’s films, the highlight of the festival for me personally wasthe presentation of The Darjeeling Limited. Anderson’s eagerly awaited follow up to The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou was not only selected as the choice for the Closing Gala screening, but was also companioned at the festival with one of several on-stage interviews sponsored by TCM (Turner Classic Movies) featuring a discussion between writer-director Anderson and Sandra Hebron.

  • The Causes of Richie Tenenbaum's Suicide Attempt in the Royal
    Kata Kita, Vol. 8, No. 1, March 2020, 9-20 DOI: 10.9744/katakita.8.1.9-20 e-ISSN: 2598-7801 The Causes of Richie Tenenbaum’s Suicide Attempt in The Royal Tenenbaums Steffanie Preiffer English Department, Faculty of Languages and Literature, Petra Christian University, Siwalankerto 121- 131, Surabaya 60236, INDONESIA. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This thesis discussed suicide action in a dramedy movie. In the movie, the decision of suicide begins with negative experiences in childhood which is experienced by Richie, one of the male characters in The Royal Tenenbaums. The purpose of this thesis is to show Richie’s negative self-schema which exists during his childhood, influences how he sees himself and his surroundings. In addition, this thesis exists to reveal the reasons why Richie decides to attempt suicide in his adult life. The theory of negative self- schema shows that Richie’s negative self-schema exists during his childhood is because of divorced parents and criticism. The interpersonal theory of suicide reveals that Richie’s situation matches the criteria of someone who is able to kill himself. First, Richie sees himself as burden to others because he falls into self-hatred perspective and liability. Second, he has faced loneliness, the feeling of lack of reciprocal relationship, and the feeling of social disconnectedness which makes him has a low belongingness. Lastly, these situations make have the ability to do self-harm and strong desire to die. Those steps lead Richie to attempt suicide. Through this analysis, I found that self-esteem and social support give a strong impact for someone’s suicide decision.
