Star Wars fan film chosen as Celtx Project of the Week!

This week's POW brings us to Coupvray, France.

In "Le Jedi Révélé", three Jedi are on board a Star Destroyer to recover data for the Rebel Alliance. As they try to escape, they encounter Stormtroopers who open fire and engage them in battle.

This project is a Star Wars inspired fan film created by Xavier Newland a 24 year old, French/American attending film school in Paris. Always a big fan of movies, Xavier has long admired the work of directors such as George Lucas, David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Last year he and some friends founded an Indie Film amateur group called Plutons Rising.

According to Xavier,

"When I direct movies, I always try to make the camera work feel immersive in the action, the suspense, so that the public can feel just like they were there. I'm also the main editor. With today's technology in movie making, the director can easily take control of the editing with such great programs as Final Cut Pro, letting the movie become even more the vision of the script. DIGITAL editing is the future and lets the director be more creative and have to worry less on the films budget. Our team is actually working on our future Production which will be coming out in May 2008"

Check out the video for this project complete with realistic Stormtrooper costumes the fine acting talents of Alexandre Pialat, Carlos Dubois, Sandra Dillière and Romain Lefevre.
