The film department at OrangeMite Studios is dedicated to bringing the magic of film to the Dover community, and surrounding areas, through locally produced film projects and special events such as independent movie nights.
Everyone loves film, and many of us can even remember the first film we ever saw. Movies bring the enchantment of faraway places to our own back door. Filled with rich settings and complex characters, movies capture the mythic stories that weave their common threads through all of our lives. Accessible and entertaining, they make us laugh, bring us to tears, and help us to understand our own private worlds.
OMS seeks to involve the local community in our film productions; whether you write, direct, act, or prefer the technical aspect of film making, we are interested in hearing from you. And do not allow a lack of experience to keep you away. We welcome film lovers from all stages of skill and experience- even the merely curious. We can use your support!
Currently, OMS is seeking manuscripts for its first short film project. (See blurb.) Auditions for this project will begin in December/January of 2009/10, with production scheduled for January/February 2010. The premiere will be during our Independent Movie Night Series.
OMS will begin our Independent Movie Night Series in January 2010. (Exact date TBA) Each month we will feature an indie film, a category of movies that became wildly popular in the 90’s, when talented film makers became disillusioned with Hollywood’s mass productions. Smaller film companies were developed where artists could produce films on the subjects they believed were significant, including foreign and cultural films.
OMS will select a different indie film to view, complete with movie munchies- and we hope some interesting post-movie discussion.
We hope you will become part of the film department team at OrangeMite Studios.
