I recently wrapped shooting a music video for the local artist, Bardia. It should be available next month and I will add a post with a link when it's up.

Accepting Donations for the Upcoming Feature Film Welcoming Departure

www.WelcomingDeparture.com Hank enjoys the quiet life. As the night custodian of the public library, his evenings are sequestered in the methodical routine of work. One day, his pattern faces disruption as he is forced to deal with the sudden appearance of a strange inheritance. Welcoming Departure is the first feature film for director Scott Ballard (Between Night, 2008 - Winning awards at the Indie Spirit and NW Projections film festival and Official Selection at the Big Island, Santa Fe, Tacoma, NW Local Sightings and Hartford film festivals). Welcoming Departure will share several stylistic and technical elements with the short film Between Night, as well as the lead actor - Tom Campbell. Cinematographer Dave Rosenblum will return as the Director of Photography for the project and Adam Upchurch as the editor. The film will be shot in Bellingham, WA and Portland, OR, beginning in October 2010. The final shooting format will depend on the amount raised - it will either be shot on Kodak film with an Eclair Super 16mm camera or on HD with a 35mm lens adapter. Current updates are available on the film's website – WelcomingDeparture.com. Detailed information on the filmmaker is available at ScottBallardFilms.com. Project location: Bellingham, WA & Portland, OR Donations are also accepted via Paypal in any chosen amount. The donations go directly toward funding the talent, crew and rentals - Thank you!

Welcome to the Scott Ballard Films Blog

Set to begin principal photography in October 2010, Welcoming Departure, is an 80-minute film following the life of Hank, a night custodian at a public library. Hank's routine, his life and his hopes are drastically changed following a strange and mysterious inheritance which leads him on a discovery of his own past. The film will re-unite the production team behind Between Night, as well as some of the actors, including the lead, Tom Campbell. With a modest budget, Welcoming Departure will be shot in Bellingham, WA and Portland, OR.
I will be updating about the pre-production, locations and calls for crew and talent. I am also adding Paypal buttons for contributions for the project and a link to my Kickstarter site, where you can pledge and enjoy incentives. As the project goes into the production phase, I will use this blog to feature live updates from location, as well as clips and behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot. As the film is cut, I will post trailers, teasers, festival updates and distribution.
Stay tuned!
