There's nothing like healthy competition to incite creativity. Riding the recent wave of video dSLR filmmaking, Vincent Laforet's Beyond the Still contest called filmmakers from all over the world to interpret a still image into 2-4 minute short films. We are proud to have submitted our entry, simply titled "Bruce", alongside the many creative and impressive films.

Shot over the course of three days on location in Wellesley and Belmont, MA, writer and director David Kruta and Director of Photography/Steadicam Operator Jeff Melanson were joined by a talented and hardworking cast and crew. Thanks so much to everyone involved, and we wish the best of luck to everyone who entered.
