Blue Satellite Productions would like to thank all the cast, crew, friends, and family that attended the “Ordinary World” private screening held on November 21st.  The short film played to a packed house and received a lot of positive feedback and support from the audience.

The 15 minute short drama was written by Chicago native Ryan DePesa who was inspired to tell a story about a man whose life did not turn out the way he always dreamed it would.  ”I wanted audiences to realize that no matter how hopeless things seem, there might be something incredible happening under the surface. ”

Director/Producer David Huzieran has accredited the films success to his cast.  ”We really had the best talent that Chicago has to offer.  We took our time during the casting process to ensure every role was handed to the right person.  This film almost didn’t happen.  We had auditioned over 200 people by the time we had Roger Bailey, who plays the lead in the film, come in.  He really brought something authentic.  It just felt right.”

David also went on to praise his production team.  ”It’s always a pleasure to work with Scott Regan who was the director of photography on this film.  He’s the type of DP who is just as concerned with the storytelling aspect as he is with the technical side.  A lot of DP’s focus too much of their energy on making everything look pretty and that can really hurt the film.  Scott’s minimalistic lighting style complemented the characters and reality of the world within the film beautifully.”

The film was scored by Nick Monteleone.  Sound Design was by Matt Harting who also doubled as the Musical Producer and mixed the entire film at Earhole Studios in Chicago.

The film will be hitting the festival circuit for 2010.
