STATEMENT
I
grew up with four sisters and there is a lot
I observed over the years, women bicker and
complain about the smallest things! They
obsess and accessorize, things are blown out
of proportion. Image is one thing that
girls panic about. "Am I pretty enough?" "Do
I look fat in this?" "Did you see what she
was wearing?" Ha!
One thing I saw in the opposite sex was that
women compete against one another. They
fight for the upper hand of beauty
personality, even men. Worlds can
collide.
So after years of watching my siblings, I
decided to make a film called "Chi.” I took
the same general attitude that girls have
toward one another and put it on steroids.
Girls will fight for their beauty, their
stature.
It's one major cat fight!

PRODUCTION NOTES
"Production in Pain"
My head stunt
coordinator Drew Serrano can be real
creative when staging a fight scene.
He likes to use whatever is in the
environment but with a brutal twist. I
have been working with Drew for about 5
years now and this has to be the best stuff
we have ever done. These girls were
getting tossed into every direction.
They would SLAM each other into cabinets,
garage doors, fighting with fire
extinguishers, even thrown off a roof.
It was painful for me to shoot and watch,
but they did it.
We staged this short in an abandoned
warehouse for 3 days. The building has
been empty for 7 years. It spooked us
out, as we froze to death on the last day of
shooting. Blood was drawn, necks were
torn, teeth were chipped, and enough black
and blues to design a constellation.
Please take a look at the PDF
