"Free Pie" is a short film by Caleb Slain, presented by Fluo and Gorilla Pictures in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I was a part of the makeup department, my role was to create and apply tattoos be worn by two of the three actors in the film. Artist Kaitlyn Zylstra and I each designed tattoos to fit the actor's role. The tattoo's were applied by hand on film day. Enjoy! For IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5334539/

Smith and the Gorilla Film Community in Grand Rapids to shoot the film in two nights. With three dedicated actors and a small crew, the filming took place in a puzzling house designed by a cathedral architect shortly before his death (the present homeowner being incapable of residing at the home, due to a mysterious allergy). Because the 10-minute film takes place in real-time, the entire team was able to experience the actors performing the script from start to finish as though they were watching a play. Given the short shooting schedule to execute the ambitious deep-focus look (the film was shot exclusively on a 18mm and 25mm Master Primes), the live performance of the film proved to be an invaluable way of creating a unified vision for the cast and crew. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• P.S.
