THEATRICAL TRAILER FOR "ETHAN" IS POSTED ON FEST21 AND A NEW ACTRESS DEMO REEL IS COMPLETED

The theatrical trailer for ETHAN, a short film I recently completed, has been posted on Fest21. It can be viewed by going to the USER VIDEOS section of my profile page. This was a challenging project. The short film, ETHAN, is five minutes long. The challenge was to pull out a trailer without giving away the story. I think it came out good. The trailer is less than a minute long. Unfortunately the short film will not be available for viewing for a while due to the rules placed by many film festivals, which state that they are not interested in showing a film that was shown on the internet.
It has been screened at one festival and submitted to several others.

I also just finished a demo reel for Hilma Falkowski, a local actress. This reel can be seen on Vimeo at:

or it can be seen on YouTube at:

I'm not sure why, but I've had this thought haunting me lately so I'll share wth you. It's a quote from Spinoza: "No matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides". Well there it is and if it takes on greater meaning I probably won't share that part of it.

As always, thank you for your interest and support,

James W. Hawk

About James W. Hawk - filmmaker

Hawk James W.
(HawkMedia Studios / HawkFilme / OldMan Hawk Film)

James "Jim" W. Hawk was born in New Eagle, Pennsylvania. He is of German, Irish, Scottish and Native American (Seneca) decent. At the age of three, he was moved to Cleveland, Ohio. In 1972, he pursued a career in industrial sales and marketing with a Fortune 500 company which resulted in he and his family being relocate to Rochester, New York, South Bend, Indiana and finally, New Haven, Connecticut.

Jim's first independent film project was a two hour and four part documentary called The Old School Roadster on a Budget featuring Larry, a local car guy who built a Roadster in his garage. It was aired on television stations throughout Connecticut. The next project was a commercial for Doritos. The winner of the contest would have their entry shown during the Super Bowl. He didn't win, but he made an outstanding creative work nonetheless. Having these under his belt, he needed the next greater challenge...he wanted to make a short narrative film.

Jim wrote, produced and directed Alpha to Omega: Part 4 with limited resources, but plenty of ingenuity. He wanted to keep it simple so he developed a story line and screenplay featuring the last man on Earth. After lots of work and some luck finding resources, it all came together as his first narrative short film.

Since that time, he has produced, written and directed several short films, documentaries, music filmes commercials and industrial presentations. He has also worked for the Connecticut Film Industry Training Program for two years as an Associate Producer and Director of the "behind the scenes" film of the program for four years. He has been interviewed on television regarding the making of one of his short films. He has had several minor acting parts in independent films. He has taken filmmaking classes at Quinnipiac University. He has had his films shown at film festivals, on local television and at other public venues.

He is always either planning, producing or searching for his next greater challenge.
