"Summer Snapshot" reenacts one of those perfect sun-kissed, summer days spent at the river with all your friends, strumming guitars, soaking in the sun and having a few beers. Oh yeah, and skinny dipping. But it's also about capturing that perfect moment and realizing just how fleeting it is. We all have summer flings, friendships and follies, but "Summer Snapshot" brings up the thought, "Do we also have a fling with summer itself? Every year?" The film's about holding on to that moment, because we've all experienced it. However short, or insignificant it seemed at the time, it matters to us now.
The film was shot entirely on Super-8 film, so it's got a real vintage feel to it (think: intro to the Wonder Years). I've seen a few rough cuts in fact, and it's really shaping up to be something truly beautiful. Something that someone of any age almost can fondly respond to.
As long as I can remember I've wanted to act in movies. And while this film isn't exactly an excellent example of my acting skills (it's meant to be more like a documentary), it's still a film. One of the reasons why I truly want to act is because of the films I've seen that have the uncommon ability to evoke overwhelming emotions in their viewers - the same way a simple painting, or a breath-taking ballet can do for many. I'm perfectly confident that "Summer Snapshot" has this ability.
