"A Better Half is a film about denial and responsibility. It is a journey into memory, a story about what we chose to remember and what we decide to forget. At all costs. The film stock’s grainy texture provides a nostalgic retro look and a cinematic intimacy that is unparalleled. It’s the perfect visual translation of the inner journey of our two leading characters whose struggle with their past is at the core of the film. " ⠀ Incapable of intimacy and chronically depressed, a middle-aged man must come face to face with the person he feels is responsible for his troubled life. A BETTER HALF, featuring Chris Stack and Darren Pettie was shot on 16mm by DP @alejandro_oal under the direction of writer/director @mcalvani. The film had its official premiere at the 24th Provincetown International Film Festival in June. ⠀ Writer / Director @mcalvani Cinematographer @alejandro_oal Camera Loader @gianna_badiali Production Designer @yuhsuan1208 Costume Designer @jeffmahshie Original Music Composer @j.greywoode Art Director @strichetts Hair & Make Up @virnanuanyc 1st AD @ahmedibra.him Editor @hhhjing Colorist @kbaycolor Sound Designer @antony_arnold Producer @ben_arred Still Photographer @hennygarfunkel Executive Producer @marcopigossi Executive Producer @terrencemeck Co-Executive Producer @landejim Scan/Process: @metpostny @ptownfilm ⠀ #ShotOnFilm #16mm
