Sold Out!

THE ONLY THING SCREENS AT CUCALORUS!

Rachel Greenberger and Derek Tindall's independent short film The Only Thing was selected from over 900 entries and screened to a sold-out audience at the 2007 Cucalorus Film Festival in Wilmington, NC. The film was edited by Scott Magie of the FMPC and Brad Walker of The Lighthouse Film Company.

The Only Thing That Matters

"What is the only thing that matters?"

Thus begins the short film called "The Only Thing", written and produced by Rachel Greenberger's RAFA FILMS and Brad Walker's LIGHTHOUSE FILM COMPANY.

Brad and I just finished editing it, which got me to thinking about the question itself.
In the classic buddy comedy "City Slickers" the old cowboy played by Jack Palance (Curly, I believe) answers that same question by holding up one finger. He leaves it for us to decide for ourselves what that one thing is.
In this short film, however, Greenberger asks us to consider how every decision we make (big or small) can affect our lives for good or bad. Each decision is a sacrifice of any option not chosen... and what if we unintentionally sacrifice "the only thing that matters"?
Pretty heady stuff, but an interesting concept to play around with.
Hopefully the film will get some good festival exposure. I think people will enjoy the concept and the execution of it. Definitely artsy, but not unaccessibly so.
