One Shot In Chicago
March 21st, 2008
Los Angeles' twenty-year-old actor/writer/director
Aram Rappaport has taken the Windy City by storm. At the end of this month several areas of the city will be shut down to film the crime drama
Helix. This is no regular movie shoot though. Get this, the one hundred minute-long movie will be shot in ONE single take! With no cuts or breaks once the camera starts rolling, the picture presents a special challenge for the actors, who will have only six days of rehearsal before shooting begins. The movie will be shot in its entirety once a day for five successive days. The flick is based on a true incident about five disparate lives that become inextricably entangled one cold Chicago morning.
Alexa Vega (Spy Kids),
Austin O'Brien and
Carlo Lorenzo Garcia star. Rappaport expressed that telling the story in a single take was essential.
"I wrote the story of Helix with the intention of depicting its truth as it physically happened, which is how violent crimes like abductions unfold. I cannot conceive of making the picture any other way. To edit it would be an injustice." Should be interesting to see!
