Director Wayne Dorey on; the “Short Film”


I believe that when the creative team and production expertise meet there is an explosion of inspired work that takes place.  $250.00 to shoot and post a short film is no way to treat a real writer’s vision.  If you want inspired performances, striking cinematography and real dramatic writing, time and money are crucial.

Color correcting and on-lining assembling of a theater ready digital print, is not an option. Why make a short film if your not going to complete the project?

Student short films are an excellent proving ground for skills and ideas. Every major player in the film business at one time worked on a short film and yes some were done for even less than $50.00 but, if you want to make the jump to be taken serious as a professional film maker then sooner or later you have to rise to the occasion.

I am fortunate to be joined by some amazingly talented people that will make it possible to bring  “No Good Deed” to the screen.  One member of the production team in particular is someone I have known for twenty-five years or so, John Holosko. John’s latest credits include 2nd unit DOP for the Pilot “Defiance” the new TV series for NBC / Universal. As we carefully plan principal photography John is quick to remind me that an educated audience will not give your project the respect it deserve if there expectations are not met by the fundamental rules of motion picture production.

We are planning to shoot helicopter footage for the opening and closing sequence of the film. To check out the rig follow; 

More to come…

"It’s like a bad dream that plays over and over in my mind, and there is this sinking feeling you get in your stomach you know the one, the one that makes you, ya feel like, your, soul is leaking..."

Writer/Director Wayne Dorey and DorVal Films partner and producer Richard Vala, are working with Art director Catherine Candeloro and veteran DOP John Holosko to bring a tragic and all to real issue to the big screen. 

Our world is as safe as we think it is until life reaches out to change the course of our present and set in motion a random string of events that lead to disaster.
