Neel’s turning 35 and still hasn’t found purpose in life. Even if he did, he doesn’t have anyone to share life’s beautiful moments with. That’s why he hopes that a trip to Bogotá provides the spark he needs. Meanwhile, Violet brings her two best friends to Colombia to recreate the fun she had there while studying abroad. Their worlds collide when they bump into each other, but growing closer could spell disaster for their lives back home.

This short film is a proof of concept for a feature script called In Search of Sunrise. The premise is: Aya's father is a tech guru who creates an immersive virtual entertainment experience that claims to fully cater to a user's unconscious desires. She feels this invention aims to spite her for not following in his footsteps by proving to her that art can be manufactured. Art, Aya believes, is too rooted in human emotion and no machine can truly replicate the depth of connection that human creativity does. Aya accepts the mission playtest it to prove to him and his Board of Directors that the machine is nothing more than a financial drain...

After watching, it'd mean a lot to mean if you can share your thoughts down in the comment section. And if you really enjoyed it, please share it. Also, you can view our virtual premiere + Q&A here: https://youtu.be/mVhgNV8H-kY. If you're interested in producing/financing/etc the full feature film, you can connect with me via email at phil@philsvitek.com.

FYI, the inspiration for this was movies like A Scanner Darkly, Amazon's Undone TV series, Waking Life, etc. Though it's not technically rotoscoped, it utilizes a Photoshop and After Effects technique to get as close to that as possible.

Friends - The One With The Spider-Men

A mash-up of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and America's favorite sitcom Friends.

Intrepid Descent is a 30 minute documentary by one of my college friends, Erik Osterholm. It is about back-country skiing in Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. I helped film the documentary as well as edit it together. I'm really proud of how it turned out and so if you enjoy the trailer, I encourage you to purchase it - http://firstrunfeatures.com/intrepiddescentdvd.html. I don't receive royalty for this movie and so I hope my endorsement of it is all the more sincere.

Librairie des Alpes (translated to mean the bookstore of the Alpes) contains the mountain's spirit through its many books and photographs. Established in 1933, the store has been cared for across generations in the heart of Paris, France. Jean-Louis Vibert-Guigue provides us with a rich history of the bookstore and even explains where his love of the mountains comes from. He also highlights what captivates people of all ages to come visit. The store is located at 6 Rue de Seine, 75006 Paris, France. You can also check out more info online on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/librairie.librairiedesalpes/) or website (https://www.librairiedesalpes.com/). Special thanks to Juliet Vibert-Guigue (@BonjourJuliet) for helping me produce this mini-documentary. Please comment below what you think of the store, especially if you've gotten a chance to visit. And if not, please do next time you're in Paris. Lastly, don't hesitate to share this with any of your mountain-enthusiast friends.

In Slovakia, not every town has its own fire department. Instead, they have volunteer fire brigades. This video showcases Zemberovce’s fire brigade in a slice of life moment as they train at the soccer stadium, running through a drill that not only prepares them for emergencies, but is also part of a nationwide competition to determine which brigade is the fastest. All the equipment needs to be setup according to competition protocol. Everything has to be measured precisely before they can run through the drill. If, during a competition, they failed to get things properly placed they would be disqualified. And everyone has a role to play. Find out how it’s done Be sure to comment below with any questions or thoughts. (FYI, I filmed this video while visiting my family this year. Also, Ron Swanson would be proud - and yes, that’s a Parks and Recreation joke).

COMEDY - PG13 - Gregory is a devout Catholic who wants to kill evil people in order to grant them safe passage to heaven, Gary is an assembly worker at a trophy shop who wants to kill potential trophy winners, Graham is Gary's intern who will do anything to become a trophy maker and Vinny Van Go drives a road emergency van just to make friends. A coincidental encounter forces these four dim witted rejects to join forces and embark upon an idiotic and altogether hilarious road trip adventure - encountering the likes of skinheads, fraternity jocks, sorority babes, missing children, bikers, porn-stars, clowns, and Kathie Lee Gifford! If the boys aren't careful they might just become human, in what is "the very first serial killer buddy movie!"
