Buffalo Filmmaker Boot Camp Channels their inner Space Force with "Welcome to Space Force", Directed by Chris Thomas

What happens when a bunch of Buffalo Filmmakers decides to get together and create a new zany film in only SIX WEEKS? Well, you get "Welcome to Space Force". Hosted by local filmmakers and music producers Aaron Webb and Sabrina Pena Young, "Welcome to Space Force" is a crazy and ambitious short film project.

Part of Young's Indie Filmmaker Boot Camp challenge, the film production moves from concept to realization in six weeks. Usually hosted in Kenmore, this became a "Rogue" Boot Camp when the group found themselves without a location due to a paperwork error. Nonplussed, the group decided to get together anyway and met in Webb's basement. There they brainstormed ideas and came up with a concept centered on Space Force.

The first day of production went smoothly, with actors and crew alike almost literally dying of laughter. Chris Thomas directed the group, which included seasoned pros and first-time filmmakers. There are two filming days left, then a week left for editing after the Buffalo 48 Hour Film Festival. Many of the cast/crew members of "Welcome to Space Force" will be participating in the 48 Hour Film Festival. It's an exciting time to be a Buffalo Filmmaker!

Indie Filmmaker Boot Camp creator Young hopes to enter the film into a number of film festivals after production ends, including the Buffalo Dreams and Fantastic Film Festival this fall. The previous Indie Boot Camp Film "The Noise Within" was screened locally at the Screening Room Cafe in Amherst and won First Prize in the Buffalo Movie and Video Makers Annual film contest.

The next Buffalo Indie Filmmaker Boot Camps will be hosted at Kenmore Middle School in September 2018 and January 2019 as part of the Kenmore Community Education.

Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera? Almost two years ago I embarked on the largest musical production I have created to date - Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. After writing the award-winning Creation Oratorio and dozens of multimedia works, I wanted to combine my love of the audio and the visual into a single large scale work. Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) . Many great operas use Shakespeare, the Brothers Grimm , and Biblical stories, all of which include interesting characters, strong themes, and action. Libertaria borrows heavily from messianic sto...
