Meet the Filmmaker: Michael Lindenberger, “Falling in Love”

Posted on by efpdenver
Q: Why did you become a filmmaker?
ML: I was influenced by my wife, Nancy and simply wanted to try it myself.
Q: What are we going to see at the EFP?  Has it screened elsewhere and what are your plans for it?
ML: Falling in Love – a short comedy about the stages of a relationship.  But, in a warped kind of way!  This has not screened elsewhere and I have no specific plans for it.
Q: What else are you working on?
ML: Currently shooting a feature and am collaborating with my wife on two more short comedies, one about old man balls and the other is about wedding vows.
Q: Tell us one weird thing about you and/or your movies?
ML: At first I found myself drawn to this type of twisted humor but as time goes on, I am starting to enjoy the more serious and dramatic stories.
Q: Where can people go to find out more about you and your work?
ML: Linde Mike is my Youtube channel.
Q: Is there anything you’d like to say about The Emerging Filmmakers Project?
ML: Thank you for the opportunity to show my video and thank you for showing your appreciation for this craft.
Falling in Love will screen at The Emerging Filmmakers Project on Thursday, July 20th at The Bug Theatre.

Meet the Filmmaker: Kaitlin McMullen, “Patrick Sheridan’s Purpose”

Posted on by efpdenver

Q: Why did you become a filmmaker?
KM: I have grown up with a camera by my side due to my parents documenting my every move. I got inspired by my family for filming the memories in a physical format with their cameras. I further on decided to learn how to film and edit videos together to create this type of visual art.

Q: What are we going to see at the EFP? Has it screened elsewhere and what are your plans for it?
KM: We will be seeing my documentary of Patrick Sheridan. The title of the film is Patrick Sheridan’s Purpose because I wanted to showcase his rhyme and reason for being on this planet.

Q: What else are you working on?
KM: I’ve been working on various short films, music video, and documentaries. Documentaries are definitely the genre of film that I am most passionate about.

Q: Tell us one weird thing about you and/or your movies?
KM: A weird about me is that I can free style rap about any subject and every time I edit my films I have to be drinking chocolate milk to help me concentrate.

Q: Where can people go to find out more about you and your work?
KM: You can find more of my content on vimeo and instagram as Kaitlin McMullen.

Q: Is there anything you’d like to say about The Emerging Filmmakers Project?
KM: I am so happy to be part of something so amazing. It brings me that filmmakers can come together, enjoy content, and inspire each other to be creative.

Patrick Sheridan’s Purpose will screen at The Emerging Filmmakers Project on Thursday, June 15th at The Bug Theatre.

Meet the Filmmaker: Dillon Cole, “Passenger’s Seat”

Posted on by efpdenver

Q: Why did you become a filmmaker?
DC: It makes me feel like a kid again. I get to play with fancy, expensive toys and play pretend with my friends.

Q: What are we going to see at the EFP? Has it screened elsewhere and what are your plans for it?
DC: PASSENGER’S SEAT was my team’s submission to the first Weekend Warriors Film Festival in Fort Collins, Colorado. It was made in 48 hours and won Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Score and Best Cinematography when it first screened in October 2016.

Q: What else are you working on?
DC: Filmmaking-wise, mostly commercial work. I’m the Cinema Manager at The Lyric, an independent cinema in Fort Collins, Colorado. We’re opening our new location in a few months, so I’ve been working on stuff for that. Friends & I premiered our newest short, A Lindbergh Baby Situation, earlier this month and I’m already itching for a new narrative project – holla atcha gurl if you have a neat script you want produced!

Q: Tell us one weird thing about you and/or your movies?
DC: I try my best to use “little movies” instead of “short films.” It sounds so cute!

Q: Where can people go to find out more about you and your work?
DC: dillonjamescole.com. My phone number is on there too if you want to prank call me or ask me out for drinks.

Q: Is there anything you’d like to say about The Emerging Filmmakers Project?
DC: I’m in endless appreciation for The EFP. To me, The EFP provides a crucial step for local filmmakers in their pursuit of larger success. Thank you for showing our little movie!

 Partners will screen at The Emerging Filmmakers Project on Thursday, June 15th at The Bug Theatre.
