Before The Endgame – a teaser!

“Before The Endgame” is a film currently in production. This is a (still rough) teaser of the main scene of the short version of the film. Hopefully, extended filming for the full length version will take place in 2024 but your support will be needed to make that happen. Read more about the project at http://lasuena.com/tidings/2023/08/29/bte/ and find information on what support of this project can do for you at http://lasuena.com/tidings/donate/. THANKS!

Bones and Shadows – a sample

“Bones and Shadows” was written by Nebraska poet (Pushcart Prize winning poet!) John Philip Johnson and appeared in comic book form illustrated by Bob Hall (DC/Marvel legend). During covid I wanted a film project that didn’t require spending time in close quarters with multiple people so I did a Ken Burns treatment to the scanned pages. I liked it, John liked it, Bob liked it, and those that have seen it at film festivals also spoken well of it. This is an excerpt from the 5 minute piece.

Eat Like a Grand Master – a sample

A scene I really wanted to capture and I smile every time I watch it. The cast really captured it and the score (by Garrett Hope) was icing.

Jesse’s Chili – a sample

I had early ’60s Twilight Zone in my head when I made this, my first short film, and I summoned my inner Rod S. for the tractor death scene. This scene was the first time I was behind the camera and I’m very happy with my focus shift to the chicken wire and back. I was also happy that my wanting to work with not one, but two animals actually came off well.
