The Plan
The Penn State community is invited to contribute to a short film based completely on audience participation. Every aspect of production—from story development, to acting, to sound effects—will be on full display in the Borland Project Space and throughout campus. Stop by to contribute an idea, record a line of dialogue, or follow the production every step of the way as filmmaking is transformed into a transparent and interactive process.
The resulting short film will be edited by artist and Penn State faculty Benjamin Andrew and screened later in the year, displaying the genre-bending efforts of its participants. Each character will be played by dozens of ordinary people, using props and context to maintain the story dispite the experimental editing. If it sounds crazy, the following test video should give you an idea of how the final film will look.
