Finally! The director's cut of Sum Enchanted Evening.
When it was shown at FilmQuest in June 2015, it was under 5 minutes. We have since added missing scenes and we are proud of the final product.
The festival cut required certain elements in the short: a hooded man, either a desert, a lake or a space ship, Pandora's box, a line of dialogue, under 5 minutes with credits, and completed within one week.
The director's cut has all that and more.
Shot entirely on green screen, we used this opportunity to work and fine tune this skill.
Sum Enchanted Evening is about Pandora looking for love, and comes across a mysterious box that helps her find true love.
