Just announced: SCENEaSOTA film screenings

For the annual SCENEaSOTA fashion show held on November 6 at Loft2, local filmmakers Elijah Chhum and Wesley Meirick collaborated on a series of short films, which were screened in between designer segments and featured locally-designed clothing from the showl. But amidst the chatter and excitement of the show, you might have missed the amount of work and detail that went into the films. With that in mind, the filmmakers have put together a viewing event for the films on January 20 at the Minneapolis Community and Technical College. The four short films will screen along with their short film, The Boy with Green Eyes.

SCENEaSOTA short films released

For the annual SCENEaSOTA fashion show held on November 6 at Loft2, local filmmakers Elijah Chhum and Wesley Meirick collaborated on a series of short films, which were screened in between designer segments. If you're anything like me, you were too busy chatting with your seatmates and getting drinks to fully appreciate the work that went into these films. Today Elijah released the films, which feature clothing and accessories from local designers and models from Vision, on Facebook.

The first film features models Karen O'Bryan, Elle Williams, Wesley Meirick, Elijah Chhum and Nick Patnode, clothing by Jenn Bratvold and Britta Feuerhelm, and jewelry by Carrier Pigeon and Ann Lambrecht.

Vision's Elijah and Wesley make a film

The trailer has just been release for a locally-made short film by Elijah Chhum (a Vision Models coordinator) and Wesley Meirick (a Vision model), The Boy With Green Eyes. The wardrobe styling was done by local stylist Jane Belfry. From what we can see, it looks lovely - and no surprise, coming from such a visually-inclined group.
