Introduce Yourself : Director by Karl Shefelman

Just finished post-production on a new film I directed called "Memory Box", written and produced by writer Daniel Blake Smith of St. Louis. After spending several years writing, directing, and producing my debut feature film “Looking for the Jackalope”, I was itching to make a short film with a much quicker turn around. I came across Mr. Smith’s post online looking for a director for his short script. The story deals with dementia and how little we know about what might be locked inside someone’s mind who has this disease. I found the story both compelling and poignant, with a great surprise twist thrown in as well. With the exception of myself, all cast, crew, and post-production team were local St. Louis talent. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had on a film shoot and I could not have been happier with the result. Everyone was truly professional and easy to work with and it was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to direct a film written and produced by someone else.
