Umbra (formerly Luna) is the working title of a feature film conceived nearly 20 years ago. It employs aesthetic qualities from Japanese Cinema, Film Noir, German Expressionism, Psycho Drama, Surrealism and the Twilight Zone. However, it utilizes low cost – high quality modern technology such as digital cinema cameras, animatronics, wire-removal, compositing, and computer animation, rather than costly motion picture methodologies. Currently in the pre-production phase, I hope to begin shooting no later than the winter of 2015. Umbra is an independent micro-budgeted production employing the Node based ideas which are part of my current academic research
Details regarding the storyline will be posted soon.
