BARTLEBY 🖊️ @bartleby_film2024 This short provided a lot of opportunity to play with developing a unique, charming, dystopian visual language in an office space and experiment with framing. We juxtaposed cramming a lot of figures in the frame vs. being wide and tight and a knowing, moving camera vs. objective and still. Thank you so much to Robin, Gray and Molly for this opportunity and thank you to the wonderful NYC based crew. I learned a lot - thank you for your patience with me 🙏🩵 Directed by…Robin Drummond @bigtimesmellz Written by… Gray Thurstone & Robin Drummond @gthursty Based on the novella, Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville Produced by…Gray Thurstone, Robin Drummond and Molly Ehrenberg-Peters @molly_epeters Co-Produced by…Shivani Mathur Starring The Boss…Gray Thurstone Niner…Michael James Duran @mjduran_15 Corn Cob…Tom Moynahan Bartleby…Brian Yeun @brianyeun With Daniel Skinner, Molly Ehrenberg Peters, James Nash, Shivani Mather, and William Brown Cinematography by…🧿 Editor & Sound Designer…Alexander Hoefer @alex.hoefer Composer…Zamir Birnbach Production Designer…Grace Musser @gracemusserr 1st AD…James Nash @jamesgillnash Gaffer…Réal Gill @bittertoejam Key Grip…Sophia Williams @cancelsophia Best Electric…Taliyah Gordon Dolly Grip…Lulu Larrazolo Lopez @luluondaset 1st AC…Emmett Ferrer @cashonlyemmett 2nd AC…Kelly Ortiz, Max Schwarz @makingkelly Sound Mixer…Rhea Li @rhealiiiii Costume Designer…Madeline Rostmeyer Hair and Makeup…Charlie Vancil Art Director…Gracie Paulson Script Supervisor…Eden Ohayon @edenoh Colorist…Rachel Angaran @rachelangaran.post VFX Editor…Onur Erdurak Post Production Sound Mixer… Victoria Marsha, Andrew Gonzalez 2nd AD…Jack Lynch Production Assistants…Taran Drummond, Jack Lynch Thank you to Lux Lighting LLC Tracking Shot LLC Matria Rentals Everything Props Wits End Group LLC Gotham Sound and Communications LLC

O’erwatch: a new one act play brought to you by Patrick Troy-Brandt, Harrison Tipping, and Gray Thurstone. A RutFakd op. War is never different and never the same. War is giving everything to yield nothing. War is the most absurd pastime and unromantic gesture. Come explore with us. We’ll be playing on the 3rd floor of the chain theatre (312 West 36th Street) at 2 PM on 7/13 and 7/26 and 5 PM on 8/2.
