HOW FUNNY CAN TWO PIRATES BE?

For MY senior project at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee film department, a year-long endeavor commenced in early September 2021 to create a film encompassing writing, shooting, and editing processes. The project aimed to demonstrate acquired skills while leaving a lasting impact.

The 18-page script developed for the project focused on the narrative of two pirates, Gresham and Cadby, navigating challenges in pursuit of funds for a new ship. As the storyline unfolded, Cadby's transformation into a proficient comedian unfolded through encounters with a stand-up regular and the support of fellow club members.

Lane Roberts secured the role of Gresham following a remarkable audition characterized by a captivating portrayal, accent, and fitting persona. The casting decision was solidified upon witnessing Roberts' audition, embodying the essence of the character effortlessly.

Brian Hendricks, cast as Cadby, showcased his adaptability and commitment to the role despite a demanding schedule. Hendricks' ability to seamlessly transition between roles and his unwavering dedication to the project were instrumental in shaping Cadby's character arc.

The collaborative efforts of the cast and crew culminated in a production that reflected the vision and dedication invested throughout the film's creation. The project not only served as a showcase of newfound skills but also as a testament to perseverance and creativity within the realm of filmmaking.
