Shimu's recommend: Stefanie Schneider

First,I found these fantastic photos by Stefanie Schneider on A magazine. Then I tried to find out more about her , "29palms, CA" is the movie inspired by her photos. A defining feature of the film is the use of still images and the use of voice over. Characters talk to us / themselves / you about their ambitions, memories, hopes, fears and dreams. The film is to be shot using a mix of super 8 and 16mm film stock and Polaroid images. Certain computer-generated effects will also be used to enhance the films surreal mood and to animate its dark humor. The structure of the plot is fairly simple. An actress works as a telemarketer is inspired by a singer who is new to town and is featured on the local radio station. The radio station runs a program for lonely hearts and a charismatic DJ uses the show to reveal the hopes and dreams of the towns "hottest women". One night a panicked German female caller captivates the community with a painful story about a sexy "Smoke Jumper" (a mysterious and super real alpha male). Everybody in town is listening to the program and nobody is quite sure what to say. Please see more about the movie, I think it must be great.( I tried to put the plot here but I think it's too long..)

can't wait to see!!
