The Beating

Genre: Suspense/Thriller
Directed by: Ali Mohsenian
Written by: Boe Duransier
Starring: Scott Gabelin, Moses Olson, James Wang and Shauna Aprecio

Notes: This wasn't for a 48 or any other film project. This was just for fun, and what a ton o' fun it was. I now know why everyone says it's more fun to play the bad guy. It was really wonderful being able to work face to face with an actor who you can play off of in a scene. Scott did just that. He's a great guy and I wish him the best out there in Tinseltown.

The extremely talented Boe wrote the script (in about half an hour I must add), and we filmed in a single evening (around 3 hours to be exact). The lovely Jonelle Ashby ("The Fix") came in and made Scott look as awesome (or horrible) as he did with her wonderful makeup effects. There's are cool little cameos by James (who received a 5 minute screen fighting tutorial from me) and the always beautiful Shauna Aprecio. Enjoy!

Cold


Loneliness by Paul Robertson

"Stay Or Leave"

by Dave Matthews

Maybe different but remember
Winters warm where you and i
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And when the summer comes
In the river
Swims at midnight
Shiver cold
Touch the bottom
You and I
With muddy toes

Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did

Wake up naked drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
It was good good love
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
But the way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard

Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did

So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that i should

That I coulda done

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me
What day is this
Besides the day you went

So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Well isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I could

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be you and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you went babe
What day is this

Some Devil
By Dave Matthews

a sweet and sour memory

After the late-night showing in theatre room #1 ended, I began to leave the abandoned movie theatre. I passed through the doors and to my left I saw a cleaning crew, led by an old man. Armed with a cart full of cleaning items and a large garbage can, he led this band. They waited patiently outside of theatre #3. He looked over to me, and I back...

Suddenly, I was a young boy, around the age of six or seven, being woken up by my father. We lived in a small apartment in Charlotte then. I gathered my favourite action figures and, in my pajamas, followed him. My mother, doing as mothers do, placed a warm jacket around me. I asked my mother where we were going, and she said, "We are going to help abpa with work." I didn't know that the shoe repair shop that my father operated was open so late, but I didn't ask, because I liked being up. Things always felt special then.

During the drive, I fell asleep. When I awoke, I found myself at a strange, large building that I had never seen before. We entered. Hannah, my little sister, held my hand. She did this a lot. I was bombarded by an array of glass doors and tile floors. We went over to a row of chairs that were neatly placed against a wall. Out of my pockets, I pulled my toys. As the heroes began their daily quest to battle evil, I looked over to my father who was pushing a broom. My mother, entered different rooms and began emptying litter baskets. I ran to my mom and asked if I could help. She smiled and then her eyes began to tear up. She told me to go take care of my sister. I nodded and dutifully stood guard next to my, now sleeping, sister.

I was back in the theatre. I made eye contact with the man moving the large garbage can and cleaning items...
