MACK

Details

• Release Year: 2011
• Genre: Short, Action, Drama
• Plot: Retelling the Macbeth story in today's world of art, "Mack" follows a painter with an ambition tragically larger than his talent. Working with a cast of fellow high-schoolers, the 15-year-old writer/director captures the suspense, violence, comic relief, and drama of a Shakespearean tale. In late summer 2010, twelve young actors, cast from throughout the Seattle area, came together for four days and two nights of shooting. Locations ranged from a dock at midnight to an apartment interior created by adding a new wall and door to write/director Ben Kadie's living room. Using a DSLR camera gave Ben new control and low-light abilities. Six months of editing and subtle 2-D and 3-D special effects work completed the film.
