American Car Prospector Music Videohttp://www.liquidluckproductions.com/
Q: Why did you become filmmakers?
A: We became filmmakers because we loved movies so much as kids! We had parents in the industry and home video cameras to mess around with. So we evolved naturally into being filmmakers after that!
Q: What are we going to see at the EFP? Has it screened elsewhere and what are your plans for it?
A: The American Car Prospector Music Video was made for a local show made on Discovery Channel. This was a test video we made for the intro to every episode. Hopefully we will see this video or a similar edit on the new season!
Q: What else are you working on?
A: We are working on lots of commercials and client videos for various companies. Our newest creative projects are a TV series about intuition and a documentary about hemp producers in Colorado.
Q: Tell us one weird thing about you and/or your movies?
A: One weird thing about us? We are currently binge watching Parks and Rec. Maybe that’s not so weird!
Q: Where can people go to find out more about you and your work?
A: Facebook always has our most recent news: https://www.facebook.com/LiquidLuckP
Q: Is there anything you’d like to say about The Emerging Filmmakers Project?
A: We love having a place to come every month and screen work! It’s wonderful for projects that don’t have an outlet for festivals.
American Car Prospector Music Video will screen September 18th at The Emerging Filmmakers Project.

Meet the Filmmaker: Lauryn Guerrieri, “Roses in December”

Roses in Decemberwww.facebook.com/liquidluckp

meQ: Why did you become a filmmaker?

LG: I never actively decided I wanted to be a filmmaker, it just sort of happened to me! I started with my parent’s handicam filming barbies and my siblings at the age of 10. I took classes in middle school and high school, making video projects whenever I could. And then I decided to major in film in college and here I am today! I became a filmmaker because I wanted to have a job that I loved.

Q: What are we going to see at the EFP? Has it screened elsewhere and what are your plans for it?

LG: This is Roses’s 3rd festival. It premiered at CU Denver’s Cinefest, where it won Audience choice, best production design and best cinematography in May 2013. It’s 2nd festival was at the Colorado Independent Women of Film Festival. We plan on continuing to screen and submit to festivals until May 2014. We will be releasing it on DVD with a package of our other shorts after festival deadlines are done.

Q: What else are you working on?

LG: I am finishing up my very last semester this upcoming Spring! I will be working on one short narrative and one short documentary. Besides that, we have many client projects we do at Liquid Luck! We are currently wrapping up a promo for a Discovery Channel show.

Q: Tell us one weird thing about you and/or your movies?

LG: Something interesting about this film is that it was filmed in all the original locations that they occurred. All the actors represent someone in my family (names changed of course).

Q: Where can people go to find out more about you and your work?

LG: Most of our work is on our facebook page: facebook.com/liquidluckp. And our videos are on vimeo: vimeo.com/liquidluck

Q: Is there anything you’d like to say about The Emerging Filmmakers Project?

LG: Support local film!

Roses in December will screen December 19th at The Emerging Filmmakers Project.
