I had the pleasure of shooting GLENDALE PARADISE in New York last year with Sibyl Reymundo-Santiago, John Theobald, a fantastic crew, an amazing cast, and the fabulous team of PlanetX.
The story takes place in the near future. Sam, an elderly man living in a seemingly perfect assisted care facility, begins to suspect that the video chat connecting him to his loved ones is not what it seems. When he uncovers the shocking truth, Sam must decide whether to accept the fabricated reality or risk everything to expose the truth, even as some of his fellow residents cling to the illusion of a perfect world…
I am looking forward to more screenings!
I just finished my first Practicum in 2024. I wrote and directed this short comedy and filmed it with Cinematography students at the New York Film Academy on glorious 35mm. Thanks for all the good work on this.
