The film

Filmed outdoors during the 2020 theatre shutdown, the production gave Kendra Hesketh's solo performance a way to reach audiences online.

The approach

Kendra Hesketh performs Elise Forier Edie's solo play, directed for theatre by Bonnie Gratz and for film by James Alton.

Wide views establish the outdoor stage, while closer coverage stays with Kendra Hesketh through the shifts in the solo performance.

Theatre preservation

A filmed stage piece from the 2020 shutdown.

The film brought a New Vintage Theatre production to audiences at a time when the stage could not welcome them in person.

Wide views establish the outdoor set and Kendra's blocking before the cameras move closer for the play's more intimate moments.

Noah M. Dorsey photographed the production, with Aidan McLane on additional camera and James producing and editing the finished film.
