About Me, My Feature Film, and the Future

Back in 2007 I finished college at the University of Montana, no not graduated- finished, and began principle photography on a feature film I had written while attending the school. It took 90 days to shoot followed by 3 days of re-shoots months later. My first edit of the film was over 3 hours....I looked at it and knew I had a real piece of shit on my hands. I proceeded to trim it down and finished it at a cool 110 minutes of.... a passable movie. I consider it, if nothing more, a catalogue of mistakes, or rather a ledger of my real film education.

In 2011 I submitted it to film festivals and some of them picked it up. It even brought in 2 awards. The Gold Kahuna Award from the Honolulu Film Festival and The First Time Directing Award from the Colorado Film Festival.

Here is the trailer for my film titled Seven Eves:

I recently made the film available through self distribution on Amazon so anyone who was interested, mostly the people involved, could buy a DVD and watch it. Here:https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Eves-Zac-Thomas/dp/B071W3FJ6Z/ref=sr_1_7?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1517169934&sr=1-7&keywords=seven+eves

Now, I am writing the next film It may take me another 6 years to make, but I guess that's just how I work. I am nearly 40 years old and unless I become a professional, I figure I only have 3-4 films to make in my life....and I plan on making them good ones. ~Cheers, Mark Nordhagen (aka. Mark Sarte)
