“The Box” - Julianna searches for the spot Lauren asked to have her ashes spread. 

Background: Jeremy Berger and I were chatting and he challenged me to shoot a short in one day, edit it the next day, and have it online by day 3. This is the result. Shot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on February 18th, editing and animation (printed, then photographed, then loaded back into the computer) done on February 19th, and uploading it late in the evening on February 19th. 

Starring: Julianna Piechoczek and Lauren Ashleigh

Music: “She Starts Fires” by PS XO 

Written, Directed, Shot, Edited, Animated, and Everything Else: Sean Mannion

Above is a new Abel and Cain trailer with exciting footage from the final product (and music by Robert Cullen). 

Moments ago I sent backers (who selected the appropriate reward) a link to download the final cut of the film. Now that it’s done there’s still lots of work to do with fulfilling the remainder of rewards and then submitting it to festivals. 

Good times! Enjoy the trailer! Hire anyone and everyone who worked with me to work with you and give them all the money! They are awesome!

Pretty sure this is my first interview as a filmmaker. Its about Abel and Cain and reaching our goal and the journey on Kickstarter. I’m just so full of wisdom … or shit … one of those … maybe both. 

Anyway, I’m interviewed! It’s short-ish. Dig it.
