Its not every day an 18 yr old takes questions about life from someone who is 29. But this piece did that, and age only suggests one thing in this interview. We all have a desitny, we all choose the path, you can be 18, you can be 29, hell you can be 89. What you do today, will transition into what you do tomorrow. We all have to choose based on the relative nature of our own individual lives.

“I certainly don’t believe that the latter stages of life have to be the way adulthood was represented in Sunder. In fact, I hope that they are not. The ideas portrayed in Sunder represent, for me, one possible reality that many people fall into.”

Part 2: Kenzie Cooke Q&A
” I was hoping that with this film I could help reawaken some sort of connection within people to their past and their dreams, a reflection, or maybe even lead someone to realize they’ve suffered a loss.

Thank You Lawrence Daufenbach!
It all comes down to the story. You can have a beautifully shot film, but if there is no story, it won’t matter in the end. Focus on your characters first, then let the creative energy flow wild.
Recently, Daufenbach Camera received really good news about sponsorship. Tell us a little about what you will be doing for the “Midwest Film Festival.”

Lawrence Daufenbach’s Interview Continued
I enjoy watching all genres of films, however I am probably most drawn to dramas and human-interest films. The types of films that make you stop and think about different aspects of culture, society, and life. From a more visual approach, dramas also tend to allow for a more artistic and creative style. As a cinematographer, this is where I can push boundaries and create certain looks for a film.
“Trust” is a story that was co-written by David Schwimmer and Andy Bellin. The film takes place in a modern day setting and is about a teenage girl who is targeted by an online sexual predator. Liana Liberato plays the lead girl and Clive Owen and Catherine Keener play her parents in the movie. Much of the film deals with the aftermath of rape, and the psychological effects it has on the family as they struggle through the traumatic event.
If your curiosities have made you ponder what its like for a member of the film crew community, this interview goes plenty far in unveiling the mystery behind the quasi-esoteric nature of film making.
