NAB Darling Red Camera Marks First Festival Feather With Joshua Weigel's 168 Film Project Winner 'Stained'
Los Angeles-based writer- director Joshua Weigel joins believers Peter Jackson and Steven Soderbergh in the RED ONE Digital Camera merit book today with his Best Film award for the futuristic "Stained," featuring distant-cousin-of-Walt Melissa Disney, at the 6th annual 168 Film Festival (Apr. 11-12) timed film producing event here at the Alex Theater. Oscar-winning directors Jackson and Soderbergh were the first established filmmakers to embrace RED founder Jim Jannard's revolutionary 4K- capture HD camera, employing it on the New Zealander's 15-min. WWI showcase "Crossing the Line" and the DP-director's upcoming Che Guevara biopics "The Argentine" and "Guerilla." And now, on the eve of Red Digital Cinema's highly anticipated return to the Nat'l Assn. of Broadcasters Show floor (Apr. 14-17) in Las Vegas, Weigel's film about a resolute inmate (Jenn Gotzon in a 168 Best Actress performance) in a merciless society that segregates its undesirables has become the first production shot exclusively on the RED ever to garner top-rung festival laurels. "It's great of course that big budget movies with known directors are being shot with RED, but it's equally important that the next generation of up and coming superstars in the business are making RED their camera of choice," said RED Digital Cinema's leader of the revolution Ted Schilowitz. "We congratulate Joshua and his team on their win and can't wait to see what he shoots next in 4K with RED." Produced by Weigel, Aaron Moore and Jeff Bartsch and lensed by Brandon Lippard in 168 Film Project's signature seven-day -- i.e., 168- hour -- race to shoot, edit and score a short film created around Scriptures drawn from a hat, "Stained" was one of the first entrants to wrap on time, according to 168 founder and director John Ware. "After seeing the finished product with its painterly touches and extensive coverage, you wonder how it ever got completed by deadline," Ware said of the 11-min., seven-award winner based on Gal. 3:28's declaration of overcoming mankind's divisions. "But RED offers as many advantages in post as it does in production." Weigel, whose 1920s period piece "Snare" earned Disney a Best Actress nod at last year's 168, migrated to RED this year "to create the best possible image and get as close to film as possible. And the RED let us explore something different. Plus, RED technicians were always a cell phone call away. My DP and I left the rest to our editor Chris Witt, who was well prepped in advance and had no problems." 168 jury member and executive producer Mark Clayman ("The Pursuit of Happyness") likened "Stained" to "Blade Runner," with its dark, RED- captured imagery that "definitely complemented the story."
