Background<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Bodies of Water<\/em>\u00a0is a short film of 14 minutes that tells the story of a young man isolated from the rest of humanity by profound shame and his fear of absolute rejection. It’s about love at first sight. It’s about seizing the moment.<\/p>\n

It’s about overcoming one’s fears to reach out to another human being. It’s about longing for acceptance and the possibility of love.<\/p>\n

As the filmmaker, I hesitate to call this a “gay film”. Yes, Marsh is gay but the young man he ultimately meets and who is poised to change his life, may or may not be. This is left for the audience to decide. Marsh’s struggle with loneliness, isolation, and his desire for a genuine human connection is universal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”4″][vc_single_image media=”72380″ media_width_percent=”72″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”72401″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Ellar Coltrane plays Marsh. The world watched Ellar grow up before its eyes, literally, in the award-winning film\u00a0Boyhood<\/i>. Ellar and I have known each other for eight years. We have forged a strong friendship and a unique bond which we dug into to find the emotional core of the film.<\/p>\n

We consulted with Louis Black Productions, a film production company founded by Louis Black, one of the most influential individuals in Austin. Louis is co-founder of both the\u00a0Austin Chronicle<\/i>\u00a0weekly newspaper and the massively successful SxSW festivals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_visibility=”yes” medium_width=”0″ mobile_visibility=”yes” mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”72398″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image media=”72401″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_visibility=”yes” medium_width=”0″ mobile_visibility=”yes” mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”72399″ media_width_percent=”75″ alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The look and tone for\u00a0Bodies of Water<\/em>\u00a0was strongly influenced by Tom Ford’s\u00a0A Single Man<\/i>. Thematically the stories are similar \u2014 but more importantly, Ford’s film beautifully captures visually both George’s (Colin Firth) inner world and the time period of the 1960’s.<\/p>\n

If there is a single short film that has inspired me, it was\u00a0The Stutterer<\/i>\u00a0which won the Academy Award for best short film in 2016. It reveals the inner struggles of its main character in a very charming and sympathetic way. The audience pulls for Greenwood (Matthew Needham) from almost the first frame and shares his emotional journey. I wish for them to relate to Marsh in a similar, loving way.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”72406″ media_width_percent=”75″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Another major influence, is the 1971 Italian film\u00a0Death in Venice<\/i>\u00a0which lushly captures one man’s obsession using virtually no dialogue. There is an element of obsession in\u00a0Bodies of Water<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 therefore, I have asked Ellar to study Dirk Bogarte’s performance and asked Amy Bench, our director of photography, to study the cinematography of Pasqualino De Santis.<\/p>\n

The story of\u00a0Bodies of Water<\/em>\u00a0began as concept for a feature length film over two years ago. Ellar has been in the loop of story development from the very beginning. As time went on, it became evident that a short film pulled from the beginning of the longer story was a more appropriate starting point.<\/p>\n

My relationship with Louis Black Productions (formally ProductionForUse) began when one of the early drafts of the script was read by Suzanne Weinert, a consultant to Louis Black Productions and the President of the Austin Film Society. Suzanne shepherded me through several revisions.<\/p>\n

The film was shot in several iconic Austin locations: Caswell Tennis Center, Threadgill’s restaurant, and the offices of the Austin Chronicle.<\/p>\n

Principal photography was completed in the first two weeks of September. Post-production was completed on November 28, 2017.<\/p>\n
