Jon & the Wolf short film is complete!
Jon & the Wolf is done!!! Massive THANK YOU to everyone who supported the project including all the amazing indiegogo supporters. And huge THANK YOU to all the Cast & Crew for your incredible hard work which made this film come to life.
Creating a film, short or feature-length, requires an incredible amount of support and no film can be done alone. One of the best things about filmmaking is that you get to work with a variety of talented people at each stage of the film, from writing, to funding and pre-production, to production and then post-production. At each stage, it requires talented people and hard work to bring it along. I appreciate everyone who helped bring Jon & the Wolf to life.
The film is currently being submitted to film festivals. Stay tuned for updates and local Los Angeles screenings
