For my final photo essay, I wanted to do it on something that related to my passion for film. I decided to follow around the director of my final production for Video Production 3. Betsy Neis both wrote and directed our production entitled The Skeptical Suspicion (later renamed Shattered). The film showcased a deranged father and his desperate attempt to regain his son after losing custody to his ex-wife. Neis is a senior in high school who is dual enrolled at Cornerstone University. She has a strong interest in film and this is her director debut.
On their first day of shooting, Betsy Neis and her cinematographer, Micah Butler look through the viewfinder to check exposure for the first shot at the Crow's Nest on April 10th, 2016.
