Kenneth Anderson (or Kenny) is my cousin. He has served in the marines, gone to Iraq twice, and enjoys filmmaking. He is currently attending the New School in New York City.
Recently I had a chance to talk to him about filmmaking in general: what camera to buy, different filmmakers who became successful with very small resources, etc. One of the best pieces of advice I got was to just make films – to have fun making films.
Currently he is working with director Vlad Nikolic (director of “Love” and professor at the New School) as a storyboard artist for the upcoming film “Easy Street”. The film is based on a true story and follows the life of a drug dealer. It will probably be rated R, due to heavy language and probably other things. The film has an unusual aspect ratio of something like 3.1 – but I shouldn’t tell too much about the film. And don’t worry, I don’t know a whole lot more!
Here is a picture I shot of Kenny with some of his storyboards for Easy Street.
It is a privilege (and just plain awesome) to see the workings behind a film.
Until later! Thanks for reading and God bless,
Praise God!
