Saw a short subject, Sea of Trees, written, shot and produced within 48 Hours by Idyl King Entertainment. Intrigued is putting it mildly. Wrote Screenwriters William Dresden and Grayson Wolfe to congratulate them on such a splendid piece….

This last weekend I found myself driving, giddy as it were, to Newport News in what was becoming a blizzard to take part in their follow up entry into the 48 Hour Film Festival, and a possible exhibit at NAB – Chaz + Jones. It was well worth the drive. No spoiler alerts needed. Suffice to say, this pic is another well-written bit o’ dark comedy, drama, and a buddy movie to boot. I was not alone in laughing out loud when reading the script. Pamela Good, one of the area’s premiere actors was heard remarking she observed the makings of young Coen brothers. Quentin Tarantino was mentioned a bit as well. Influences notwithstanding, it was obvious there was a lot of talent flying around the set. The production team was loose & easy going to be around, yet tight & efficient to watch in action. Always fun to be creative – even more fun to do it in a collective. Thanks Idyl for a thoroughly enjoyable collaborative experience. Photos Courtesy Idyl King Entertainment
