"EL PAGANO"

A few years ago, while on vacation in Chile- I tried to make a short film. I did a lot of tests with my main actor who is my uncle. The film never got beyond the testing stage. It was a lame idea- kind of a mix between Zatoichi and what ever props we could find in the backyard. It was fun goofing around.

I am putting this up as a video response to the trailer that my friend "Rhode Montijo" posted on his blog. I found it funny how similar some of our shots are. Link. Rhode has way better costume design with his main character.

Enjoy the trailer.

Dave- nice. Yeah- I was using imovie. It was edited that night after filming to see what we got. I made the fake trailer with all the titles to keep people interested because they were working for free.


I wouldnt say I am working at this. I was just having fun screwing around with a camera.

The opening angle with those cockeyed telephone poles is great.

Ryan- thanks man- I had this dog come out from no where and push at me while I shot that stuff on the tracks. Hard to keep it steady- we were rushing to get the shots done before the sun went down.

Ziritt- good luck with your film- I cant wait to see the trailer.
