KUMUKUMU invites Residency Unlimited to create venture that is an explicitly project driven, short-term residency program for local filmmakers, lasting only a day per artist. It will use a simple yet precise set of constraints designed to maximize the time, space, and resources available in order to produce new works of short film. For one month, Residency Unlimited will convert the gallery into a low cost film studio, containing all the necessary ingredients for filming a movie: cameras, lighting, costumes, props, backgrounds, staging, etc. A select group of artists, filmmakers, musicians, and performers will be invited to use the space and equipment to each make a film over the course of one workday (eight hours). The artists will be challenged to see the possibilities within these limits in order to make a compelling work – an exercise in resourcefulness. Under these conditions, lines between actors and crew, film set and back stage, equipment and props will fuse, allowing the
event to be considered as one collaborative installation/performance. In this case, the process will play a role equally as important as the final product. Viewable to the public, the film shoot becomes the work, whether in an active or inactive
stage.
The project will conclude with a film screening and the production of a limited edition DVD (300). Reserve a copy by supporting the project with Kickstarter
