DIRECTOR'S SPECIAL THANKS

Erin,

I appreciate your time working with me and the rest of the crew. Thank you for being so patient with me throughout pre-production. I hope I wasn’t too tedious to work with. You were the first producer I’ve ever had, and when things started rolling through production you were so on top of things. I’m so glad we were able to have you on board. Anyone would be lucky to have you as their producer! Here’s to working together again someday in Hollywood.

 

Olivia,

It was a bit of a shaky start on-set but once we hit the editing room things started rolling so smoothly and I have you to thank for that. I appreciate all those moments of mutual realization of what worked and what didn’t and the memeing that would ensue straight after. Man, those were fun times and I’ll miss them lmao. Thanks for being willing to work with me, dude. Now let’s get Pockets off the shelf and get it rolling!!

 

Your collaborator and friend,

Mart :P

 

Kurt,

Thanks so much for signing on for the pre-production crew, man. The set design looked killer on and off screen and I’m super grateful to have had you on board. Couldn’t have done it without you and the rest of the set crew. Here’s to working together again in the future!

 

Juan,

Thanks for being on set literally every single day, man. Appreciate it. You da bes. Thanks for letting me crash at your place with the rest of the gang and for letting me eat your rams and for all the moral support and informative talks we had. Always nice to have a chisme buddy.

 

Well, toodles! ( Í¡° ͜ʖ Í¡°)

mort~

 

Michaela,

I appreciate you for many reasons. Thank you so so very much for all that you‘ve done for me and the film. Your moral and emotional support during some harder times means so much to me and I can’t thank you enough for being there when I needed someone. I’m so glad we became such good friends this semester. I can’t believe how easy it is to talk to you and how open about many things we can be with each other and I’m so grateful to call you one of my bests. We meme-loving fucks need to stick together until the end, so let’s be sure to visit each other hopefully on the regular.

 

Love you,

Mart Blart ;w; <3

 

DEVLIN,

You did things, even if they were small things, you did them and I appreciate that. So here’s a small gift for you too, no take backsies. Thanks for being A Friend™ and showing me and the others 4 hours of Garfield Sex Survey Results, Drawfee vids, fucking Stacey and all that other Weird Shit that’ll scar me for life. You a true homie. Also thanks for buying the brownies again I didn’t think you’d actually do that and I don’t think I really thanked you but that was nice.

 

Your friend,

Mart Blart

 

Alli,

Bro. Bro listen. Bro. You. Kicked. ASS. Seriously, you outdid yourself as AD and as a freshman! I honestly couldn’t have gotten through those days without your organized ass on set. I’m so glad we got to know each other this semester. You a fucken real one m8. Keep in touch and here’s to working together on some more shit next semester and in the future! Good luck with the rest of your CART journey cause it’s gonna be fuckin’ wild, trust me.

 

Your good wholesome memeing friend,

morti mcfly

 

Cesar,

Thanks so much for agreeing to DP pretty early on. You did an amazing job, your shots look fucking amazing. Sorry if I was hard to work with at times. Glad I got to know you these past semesters! Good luck on all your future projects!

 

P.S. Thanks for introducing me to Elvis Depressededly. :P

 

Charles,

Thanks for being a part of the team! I really appreciate your enthusiasm not only on my set, but other sets as well! I feel like you were on almost every Capstone set just ready to go. Keep it up and keep signing onto those Capstones!

 

Sam-0,

Dude. Dude. Düd. Listen here. You did. AWESOME. Fucking incredible lighting work! Like you straight up came through when it came to that fireplace lighting. You know how worried I was about getting that to come out just right? And you just walk in there and do it good? Show off. For real, great fucking job, I’m so glad you were a part of the team. What a guy. Super glad to have met you, dude! Here’s to goin’ to more raves and working on sets together in the futures! GO TEAM.

 

Your friendo,

Marti :D

 

Gian,

Thank you for agreeing last minute to be a part of the sound team. Even if it was for a single weekend, you did some awesome sound work on set and I really appreciate it! Glad you had a good time and got to know Stitch! Here’s to hoping he does some good work on your Capstone and I can’t wait to repay the favor and help you out with your production design and color!

​

Your friend,

Marti

​

Demi,

Let me just say you did a fucking killer job on the coloring, like damn. You made the film look so fucking dope and I’m so glad we had you on board as our colorist. Thanks for not only coloring, but also stepping in last minute as a boom op for Weekend 1! Gonna miss those days sitting in the editing room just chilling watching Netflix while we wait for an export. Can’t wait to work with you next semester and hopefully sometime in the future!

 

Your friend,

Marti

 

Ally,

I’m glad you were on set. You were there and I was happy. You did things. You did a good job at them. I’m glad. Here’s a photo of you doing those good things.

Dominique,

Thanks so much for signing on as our DIT. You honestly did such an amazing job. I’ve never seen a DIT as organized and thorough as you were with the media management. That really helped us out in the editing room and I appreciate it a lot! Thanks for helping us out with the whole external drive fiasco too. Hope you have a great winter break and hope to see you on some more sets next semester!

​

Taylor,

Thank you for doing the thing that you did. You were a very good key grip and I appreciate you very much! Glad that we got to be friends this year! Keep blessing those rains down in Africa now.

​
Daniel,

Thanks for being a part of the team! Thanks for being so enthusiastic about the film so early on too. I really appreciate your contribution! Hopefully you can grab that AE job during this upcoming semester’s job fair! Here’s to working together in the future!

 

Richard,

I honestly still can’t get over you telling us that you aren’t even a CART major! You seemed so comfortable on-set and everything seemed like it just came so naturally to you! Really great job, man. Glad to have had you on set helping us out. Maybe I’ll catch you on a few other sets next semester! Anyone’ll be lucky to have you helping them out on their set. Have a great holiday break and good luck on any of your future endeavors!

 

Nick,

My man, great job getting those walls from one place to another, couldn’t have done it without you, man. But in all seriousness, thanks for being a part of the crew, even if for just one weekend! You came through for us when we were low on a grip crew and it’s super appreciated! Maybe I’ll catch you on some Capstone sets next semester, whether that’s behind the camera or in front of it. Maybe Testiballs will make his comeback, who knows?

 

Addy,

Thank you so much for agreeing to be our wonderful makeup artist. You made the actors look so authentically disheveled in such a painterly way, I can't fully explain it. You understood the assignment and rolled with it and I couldn't be happier with the results. Super glad to get to work with you in film again after all these years. Here's to more in the future!

​

Your bestie,

Marti

 

Nadeen,

I want to give you a HUGE thanks for the hard work you put into giving us some amazing BTS photos. You're honestly one of the better photographers I’ve seen and if I ever need some photography done, I’ll hit you up for sure. I’ll definitely recommend you to any friends who need an on-set photographer and hopefully I’ll see you on some sets next semester! Have a great winter break and thanks so much again!

 

J-Rod,

Thanks for having our backs when we needed an Assistant Editor. Glad I got to know you this semester too! Here’s to hopefully more kickbacks and working on Capstones next semester!

 

Brendan,

JThanks so much for being our sound designer! You did a great job and I appreciate the time and effort you put into the project! Plus, hopefully now that Capstone isn’t taking up all my time, hopefully now I can actually attend some TPO meetings next semester. Hope to catch you there or on some more Capstone sets! Have a great break!

 

Joseph,

Hey, so you did a great fucking job on the soundtrack! Hope you know that! Thanks for being a part of the team as well as being so enthusiastic about it! I knew after hearing your SoundCloud samples that this was gonna be a piece of cake for you and that you’d make something that sounded amazing. I’ll catch you on some sets or in post-production of some Capstones next semester!

Cinematic Arts Faculty & Staff,
Thank you to all the faculty and staff who were involved in the creation of this film. Luis Camera, Chris Carpenter, you two were rocks in the making of this thing. Can't thank you guys enough for the support (both practical and emotional). Thank you resources provided to all of us in the making of all our movies and the teaching moments we all needed. Your mentorship throughout my 4 years here will take me and the rest of us far in our careers and I can't wait to see the results. We're already off to a good start.

Your student and grad,
Marti
