Movie - "So the wind won't blow it all away"

The unreleased movie "So the wind won't blow it all away", produced and directed by Kevin Brislin, was completed in April 2006 utilizing a core group of high school students as cast and crew. This was a monumental project taken on by classes that Brislin teaches at North Port High School in North Port, FL. The screenplay was written by a group of students in a Creative Writing II class, then massaged by Brislin and Asst. Director Stefanie Scott (a junior at the school during that time.) Ms. Scott was also given the roles of Director of Photography and Editor.

Filming was done using digital video cameras and edited using Macintosh G4 and G5 computers with Final Cut Pro software. Automatic dialog replacement was used for the first time at the school, which made the dialog much easier to work with since there was a lot of noise generated due to construction on the school at the time. The score for the film was a collaboration between Brislin, music instructor Owen Bradley, and students Tony Call and Jake Hatfield.

The film is to be entered into the 2007 Sarasota Film Festival student category. This film will not be released to the public at this time. A possible soundtrack may be released as part of a compilation of work from people associated with the school.
