Hey there!
Last October we shot a black comedy pilot called “CLOWNE”, and we’re proud to finally present a trailer for your eyeball’s enjoyment! As we’re currently going to High School, we hope this might give us a shot at film school.
Watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCLg4w2i6Lc
The story is about Gary Clowne, a man who has to spend the next three years of his life as a clown, in order to fulfill his community service. And worst part is: the man who puts him to work has misunderstood what a clown is all about, which leads to terribly wrong scenarios for poor Gary, as he suddenly has to entertain at funerals, nursing homes and well… you name it.
"CLOWNE" is a black comedy with aspects from The Big Lebowski, In Bruges and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It doesn’t take itself very seriously, yet it centers on a strict storyline carefully plotted out. Although not a sitcom, the show features laughs and is a joyful roller coaster of crazy characters.
Being the DOP, there was no question; I wanted to shoot it on the RED! The camera is easy to use, and it produces a look that "is" CLOWNE. Visually I was inspired by the look of movies such as "Drive" and "The Social Network"; a strong color palette with obvious warm/cool contrasts. We got our hands on a couple of RED ONEs with Zeiss Standard T 2.1 lenses, along with loads of equipment from the grip department (Storyline Studios). These lenses (wide open, T 2.1) produced a distinct look with characteristics that gave the film an extra boost of its own uniqueness.
"CLOWNE" offers a new take on what is quickly becoming a trendy wave of ever-changing TV shows, and has the quality of a feature film, rather than mass produced content. It stands out from the crowd, which was the ideal purpose of this production.
I hope you enjoy the trailer! Help us spread the word by sharing, tweeting or liking the link!

This pilot does not have a producer or a studio attached, so if you’re in the industry, reach out to us!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
