First Meeting – MAFP II
A small but dedicated group gathers as the Mont Alto Film Project begins its second foray into independent filmmaking.
Franklin County Foundations adds support for MAFP!
The Franklin County Foundation has generously added its much-appreciated support to the Mont Alto Film Project on the Penn State Mont Alto campus in Franklin County by contributing to the purchase of a new, portable editing computer for the project. The computer is a godsend, allowing portability during pre-production, principal photography, and post-production.
The project is in its second run and busy on its next feature film (an untitled supernatural thriller) and will be making great use of the new equipment for years to come.
Mont Alto Film Project begins second run in a few hours!
The Mont Alto Film Project starts up again today with a new crop of students. The previous project ended up with the award-winning Two Days Back. It will be exciting to see what this new group can achieve.

The film premieres on November 18th and 19th at the Capitol Theatre in Chambersburg, PA. (http://www.thecapitoltheatre.org/)

Color Grading and Color Correction
As we move toward a complete cut of the film, we are busy with myriad post-production tasks, including color correction and grading. I thought folks might like to see a sample.

We took the final shot for principal photography as the last rays of light sank away.
