The Forgotten Death of Paris
Channel: ETC-on-Film
Date: 2011-09-05

The short-film form let this filmmaker focus on an often-overlooked but moving moment from Romeo and Juliet.

This is one of TWENTY-FOUR short films based on the works of Shakespeare that were produced at Shakespeare's Shorts 2011, ETC's unique teen-directed film camp now in its third year of residency and the endlessly picturesque Trinity Presbyterian Church in Arlington.  Teens with a special interest in classical theater, filmmaking, or both, adapt, direct, and act in these short films, as well as designing lights, sound, music, costumes, props and of course working the camera and editing the films in Final Cut Pro.  They accomplish all this in two short weeks; it helps that so many campers are returning filmmakers, ready to take on both the challenge of interpreting Shakespeare and low-budget, high-creativity film without fear or hesitation!
