FROGTOWN / at last so excited to share some moments from Frogtown, with its premieres this week at @atlantafilmfestival + @floridafilmfest ! my first feature I’ve shot, one that has been 3 years in the making. I have had the most fantastic collaboration with @costakaralis figuring out the visuals for this world, in which a woman believes in a real, giant talking frog - THE FROG KING - who lives out in the swampy wilderness just outside a small Florida town of 5,000 dreamers this is a wildly unique genre-bending film, that invites you to lean into your own wonder, imagination, and the things we have all believed in - but maybe have just forgotten about Frogtown is SOLD OUT for tomorrow (Saturday) at 3:15p at the Tara Theater in Atlanta - but there will definitely be tickets available via the stand by line! written + directed by @costakaralis producer @lil_evbarber executive producers @tappancj , David Swinburne associate producers @roccoshapiro @frawwwn dp @chris_violette prod design @oh_snap_its_summer editor @costakaralis on set sound @elis_xhafa sound design @spencerdavidpoole music @pelhampalanti @cannonrogersmusic additional music by @hemlocksounds b-cam @jack.vid c-cam @dantheman33dj vfx second unit cam @seanvaldivieso vfx @reidlauff @raejenkies color @gabe_j_sanchez master carpenter @ladystudios.design art assistant @jazleana title design by @digital_brianna storyboard artist @zacharybrightlight concept artist @itsadrianramirez117
