I recently did a shoot for a short film called Lucky Duck. It was written and Directed by Colin Elliott a masters degree student at Columbia University New York.

The film was shot on location in Stow, Ohio. It was an amazing experience to work with a dedicated cast and crew on a unique project. It was great to work with the duckings as well, all 22 of them!

The Director and writer was Colin Elliott , the Producer was Andrew Hauser , 1st AD was Mike Toscano, the DOP was Ben Salley, the Co-Producers were Oliver Newman & Rafael Lessa,

Here are some pictures which I took on set.
