Locally Produced Film, Infinite, Continues Work In Reading, PA

Local independent filmmaker, Daniel Speers, and his upcoming film, Infinite, will take viewers into the future and to The Edge of time to a point of ultimate decision. A man awakes from cryogenic sleep aboard a space craft to find that his mission to start things over on a new planet has failed. The themes of human connection, and the power of choice amidst fears and hope are explored.

Utilizing the revolutionary Red One camera, and extensive use of green screen photography and constructed sets for interiors of a space craft serve to set this film apart. The film was largely shot in Reading, PA at 6 O'Clock Studios earlier this year, as well as on-location spots and landmarks within Berks and Chester counties.

Infinite features the talent of lead actors Mark Kochanowicz and Peter Phillips, as well as accomplished local producers, cinematographers, and crew. Notable names are visual effects and mold maker, Greg Kochan (The Lovely Bones, Blue Valentine, Bereavement) and set designer, Gillian Speers, who works set design on the show Saturday Night Live.

Filming of the story was completed in April 2011, and since then Speers has been working with a team to color correct and edit, compose an original soundtrack, and create computer generated special FX to bring the footage to life. Infinite is set to be completed by December 2011.
