Adapting A Short





The idea to make a film about the Bauhaus School of Art & Architecture was introduced to me in 2005 by my good friend and schoolmate Evan Schrodek. We wanted to submit this project as our Thesis film at California State University Northridge. At that time, however, we were barely discussing the idea. It would be crazy to try and pull of a Period Piece on a student budget. Wouldn't it?

Well…,to make a long story short: We are crazy! I wrote the short script, we organized everything from locations, over to a 35mm, state of the art, film camera, to a live orchestra, and premiered the film in May 2006 at the Television Academy of Arts & Sciences in North Hollywood. (Ok, so this REALLY was a long story short...)

I got so hooked on the concept and ideals of the Bauhaus, that I am now taking this to another level of crazy: Trying to make a Feature Film.

Will it work? I don't know! Will I try? Oh, you bet!

For anyone interested, you can take a look at the teaser and trailer for the student produced short film at http://www.bauhausthemovie.com/teaser/

Have fun!
