Principal photography complete for "Sometimes Always"
Alterity Productions had a GREAT shoot on Sunday July 24th with a crew of six and cast of three. Thank you to everyone involved!
"Sometimes Always" is a film vignette about a recovering drug addict / alcoholic reuniting with her daughter for the first time in two years.
Debra Lopez, Frank Sommers, and Olivia Sommers were absolutely wonderful to work with. Their performances were spot-on take after take, which was necessary on our extremely tight budget and timeframe.
Randy Lee, Brian Alberth, Jim Bugge, and Nick Chenow are four of the best people to ever have on set for a production. Their dedication to the task at hand and devotion to the work of fellow filmmakers is outstanding.
For us, it was fun to produce our own screenplay and utilize top-notch equipment from Red Star Pictures and Fourth Line Films.
Thanks for all the support and stay tuned for updates!

Alterity Productions - new logo!
Alterity Productions has finally decided on a logo, designed by our friend and talented graphics guy, Ian Park.
Based on a short description of the company and a small collection of logos we like, Ian incorporated both the film aspect of who we are and the meaning of "alterity" into the design.
We look forward to animating the new logo for the introduction of our next short film!
