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).
This current fundraising campaign is focused on raising capitol to secure the crew and talent, along with procuring production insurance for the project.
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.Squarespace.com & WelcomingDeparture.com.
Detailed information on the filmmaker is available at ScottBallardFilms.com.
Project location: Bellingham, WA & Portland, OR

Two Pints Lighter - The Feature Film
Vampires.
A subject that has been overly saturated by multiple mediums: books,TV, film. You name it. These contemporary tales seem all too familiar: the sexy, sallow-cheeked loner, his pensive female counterpart, the melodramatic romance that follows. If it is not drenched in tears, it is an outright parody. Now the filmmakers who brought you “Shoebox Redhead” and “Between Night” bring you a fresh look at the genre – a human story about a human monster.
Meet Wade. Wade is a vampire who doesn’t mind his fate until a night of promiscuous feeding lands him in trouble with the locals. He flees to a small coastal town, vowing to change his ways and bring an end to his nomadic lifestyle. Will friendship and human connection ultimately be enough to change his nature? Shot on location in New Jersey and Washington, the film is a funny yet sincere exploration of what life is really like treading the shadows with a hardcore bloodlust.
