...the man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same.

--Aldous Huxley

Here you have (from left to right) concept sketches, designs, and a film still from "The Bookstore."

ix...  Ever wonder what goes into the making of a bonafide, indie flick?  We've left out the countless cups of coffee, car hostages, and ant wranglers, and are giving you this instead... A behind the scenes look at what went into the making of Moment in Time.  You'll get the insider tour of the influences, concept designs, and decisions involved in taking Moment in Time from script to screen.

Here we have various concepts for our spectacular train scenes. 

x...  From concept sketches, to art direction, and ultimately  film,.  we'd like to take you on a journey of the  non-visual development of the film.  Along with words and pictures Moment in Time utilizes physical structures like passageways to mark stages in the characters' interior journeys...we're not talking about Joseph Campbell--we're talking fillm.

      After much thought and some very complicated differential equations, our (mathematically obsessed) director decided that metaphorically the journey of life should be visualized  as a series of tunnels, and doors.  The kinds of things people have to go through to get to other places--like rites of passage.

On the right, concept sketch of "Katherine.  On the left actress Annika Peterson as "Katherine."

xi..  And finally in the concept section of this site... Ever wonder when a director auditions actors, how close he casts them to the image in his head?  Robert Orlando, has a one track mind (pun intended as were some of the others in this page.)  Notice how closely the actors resemble their pre-audition concept sketches.
