Broken Crayons (2010)

Trivia

Broken Crayons

Edit
The poster was designed to subtly mimic the hand painted movie posters from the 30s and 40s, but as if a child painted it and with a slight eerie/modern twist - having it torn at the bottom, revealing credits.
The theme song for the film which plays in the beginning and then a full band does a reprise at the end, was written specifically for "Broken Crayons".
Due to extreme and spontaneous weather patterns, in order to successfully execute and complete the "real time" look of "Broken Crayons", cast and crew had to plan shooting on a day to day basis around the often "hourly" changing weather. This made the crew detailed storyboards and shooting schedules, nearly useless, after the first couple days of production.
The ten minute twilight sequence was really shot at twilight over the course of four days, during magic hour's 45 minute windows. To increase mobility, back up the "documentary style" aesthetic, and achieve the most coverage possible during this heavily stunt oriented scene, almost all photography was done hand held and lighting was done with reflectors.
The film was shot on location in Alessio Cappelletti's home state of Rhode Island at an old plantation house, utilizing a lot of Rhode Island/ New England talent and crew from production to post.
