Alumni Spotlight

Chaz Giles

My approach to filmmaking is to take a single idea and build from it. I want to find the story at its most basic, down to a single emotion, tone, or mood. From there I want to build back up. Because if I know that, then I won’t lose what I wanted to capture in the more complicated parts of filmmaking. For example. In my last film the story was a woman feeding her unknowing boyfriend a good friend that had been missing. From that idea I decided to focus on a single idea. Tension. From that one word I would branch out to more complicated ideas, colors, setting, costumes, positioning of both the actors and the camera, and lighting. Before long there’s a web that leads from one idea to another. From simple to complex. From something general like wanting a bare and mute dining room as the set or to have awkward laughs and pauses, to very specific like having my actress never blink when the camera is on her. No matter how many branching additions I make, it still holds true to the idea in its simplest form.

Joey Plyler

My love of movies and storytelling started at a young age, and continued to grow until my senior year of high school, when I began working on a school news program and became fascinated with film making technique. It was then that I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and Workaday is an example of some of my favorite techniques put into action. I'm real big on visual storytelling, because I feel a lot more can be stated with a proper transition that with a chunk of dialogue. While at Lander, I hope to hone my craft and one day work in the film industry, either behind or in front of the camera."
