Director Biographical
note:
Here is an excerpt taken from an Interview with Short End Magazine with writer/director David Branin.
At this point filmmaker David Branin is still searching for his voice. “There are a lot of filmmakers out there who have a camera at age five or six, and they are filmmakers right from a very young age. For me it wasn’t like that at all,” he says. In college, however, Branin stumbled into his fascination with filmmaking and began, with the help of friends, to write his first feature.
“We moved out to Los Angeles in hopes of selling the feature script,” he recounts. “There wasn’t a Hollywood ending to it. But, that was the starting point, and from there I’ve backtracked. I’ve gone from writing my feature script, working my way down to low-budget short films and now working my way back to make my first feature film hopefully this year.”
In preparation for that feature, Branin has in the interim released the sports-action short Shoot-Out and twisted dramedy Honey, I’m Home, both film festival screened and awarded works. “The common thread thus far is just trying to tell a great story with a minimal budget. Also, both films have surprise endings,” he says. “Those are some of my traits as an independent filmmaker—to tell a story on a very small budget, to tell a story that’s entertaining, one that grabs you and leaves you with a nice, little surprise when it’s all said and done.”
