Congratulations to VCUarts Cinema freshmen for shooting their first on-location shoots!

Now with a whole first semester of in-class camera and sound workshops under their belts, the VCU cinema freshmen are quickly leaving behind basic training and entering the complex shooting environment of a larger scale production. The first year students shot four films this weekend using high end equipment from the department over the course of two days.

Students had the opportunity to work in a pre-production phase, cast amateur actors, and experiment with lighting and electric set ups on set for the first time. Upperclassman and faculty were present during all four shoots to offer guidance.

The First Stone

VCUarts Cinema has recently wrapped and is currently in post-production on a half hour dramatic short film, The First Stone. The film explores the turbulent life of a man recently released from prison as he attempts to adjust to the vicissitudes of fate and his fears.

Every year, during the Spring semester, the Cinema Program produces a film that unites all three of its undergraduate classes in a single major film production. An Adjunct Professor, who is a cinema professional, works directly on the project. This season, Mr. Andrew Giannetta again joined us, a Los Angeles based Director of Photography and Writer.

Directed by senior Daniel Caporaletti and written by junior Eliot Hagen, THE FIRST STONE employed actors from across the East Coast. From New York City’s LAByrinth Theatre Company came Marshall Sharer. Also, from New York came Nia Fairweather. Actors Durrell Nelson, Phillip Stamper, Charley Raintree, Danielle Davy provided magnificent performances in various supporting roles.

The film was shot on 35mm motion picture film around the city of Richmond, Virginia. Special thanks to the Virginia Film Office, Anne Chapman and Charles Harris Productions for their support of this project. VCUarts Cinema anticipates a screening of the film to be scheduled for later this summer.
