Crane

Crane began as a high school video class project with Alex Sawvel cast as the lead role of Jonathan Crane. Two scenes from Brandon Kehiayan's earlier draft of the script were shot with Luke Ostermiller as both the DP and Director, but the project stopped after Alex Sawvel (a friend of Kehiayan and Ostermiller) was killed in a car accident. Almost two years later, Crane finally was completed when Ostermiller and Kehiayan decided to finish the film as a tribute to Sawvel with an entirely new cast, a slightly altered script and with Kehiayan as the director. Luke Ostermiller still did the cinematography and produced the film.
