SUBJECT 119
I Know who you are. Let us begin, Subject 119.
Directed by Nyasia Mayes
Pre- Production
I executive produced this film along with two of my friends, Cody Dunne and John “Jack“ Benson. We were picked up in the spring of 2022 by EIV (Emerson Independent Video), an Emerson student run organization. If you are picked up, they will grant you a budget, and two weekends of shoot dates to get your projects done.
After a weekend of Interviews, Auditions, and Callbacks; We hired a crew of about 25 with a cast of around 10. Our film has wrapped the production process, and now we’re moving onto Post- production and our marketing strategy which will lead up to the completion of the film and later, submissions to film festivals.
What did I do?
As the Logistics Executive Producer, I broke down and organized the budget, kept people on track during filming, scheduled craft services for the cast and crew on days of filming, and was in charge of our Blair Witch project esk. marketing strategy. I also made a small cameo in the film as an extra.
All of this was going on while I simultaneously was in season for Emerson’s volleyball team and being a full time student.
