Sinners on Saturday Night Shorts

The fabulous podcast, Saturday Night Shorts, focuses on Sinners as its most recent film of the week. SNS is a podcast devoted to the craft of short filmmaking; led by two very engaged commentators who spend significant time carefully reviewing and dissecting short films.

Their comments on Sinners are appropriate and inspiring.  Both hosts lauded the film's sound-design and compositional choices.  They also highlight key areas of opportunity in relation to unnecessary insert shots and some disagreements with character motivation.  All in all, the conversation is stimulating and insightful.

In fact, the podcast led Derek to revisit the film for the first time in two years.  Looking at what had been the final edit with fresh eyes, a new director's cut has emerged which shaves a full minute off of running time!

Derek Dubois to be guest for Rhode Island College Film Students

On Thursday 03/15/2015, Derek Dubois was invited by frequent collaborator Soren Sorensen to serve as a guest filmmaker for Film 373 - Introduction to Film Production Course.

The class, featuring upper-level film undergraduates, screened three of Derek's films: Fallout (2012), Lucid (2013), and Sinners (2014) before venturing into a lively discussion on a range of topics from low-budget film-making to feminist film theory.

This was an exciting opportunity to highlight the works of this local filmmaker while also allowing for a sharing of advice on DIY methodologies.

Sinners - a short film

It's that time of year again and Derek Dubois is gearing up to shoot a brand new short film.  The film, Sinners, will be a tense 15-minute character study of an alcoholic priest confronting a crisis of faith in a community ripped apart by crime.

Film is a collaborative medium but it's also a medium with very high overhead costs.  We can't make a polished, mature film without your help.

For this project, we've turned to INDIE-GO-GO for help in crowd-sourcing funds.  The Sinners production is looking to raise $2000.00.  Please help if you can and spread the word!
