The ChallengeThe challenge to create a visually appealing film with little more than "talking heads" to work with is a common one. The easiest, most economical and effective way to communicate several subject's ideas is with straight interviews. To engage the viewer however, takes a bit more effort.
The ApproachThe project was shot on 16mm for a clean, visually striking look. Director John Torcassi uses a range of intriguing angles to shoot the interview subjects, who vary in their level of on-camera comfort. This variety gave Ron Colberg a wide choice of takes to choose from when cutting the film. Susan Detrie's title treatment in the Flame tie the interviews together and underscore important points for the viewer.
