Two former Fox Valley residents have created a short film that will be screened May 4 at the Beverly Hills Film Festival.
Sargon Odicho stars as Oliver and Shelby Slager stars as June in “Chasing June.” The short film will have its world premier at the Beverly Hills Film Festival May 4 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
“We use magical realism and contemporary dance to explore the complexities of grief and the resentment he feels and we’re asking the question, ‘can you ever really move on from tragedy?’,” Nathan Slager said.“I lost my brother when I was six and watched him pass away and I saw how that affected my family, how it fractured my family. And I repressed a lot of grief for years,” he said. “The Oliver character is inspired by that traumatic event and trying to repress those emotions.
A screenplay is very stylized, even compared to a theater script, so even formatting it was a learning process. They wrote the first draft on Microsoft Word, not knowing there are screenwriting software programs available.
