What's a story with no reader, music with no listener, a photograph with no one to see it or interpret it? If there was no crowd, no audience, no one to see what you've created, would you even create? 'Audience of None' is an experimental short film made by creatives, for creatives. Posing a challenge to the daily motivations behind what we do, and why we love to do it. Are you truly motivated by your passions? Or simply for the attention, approval, or praise of others? These are the challenges we had to deal with personally face to face, that truly ended up inspiring the creation of this film. Even though we wanted to make a film that spoke these ideas to creative people, we ourselves had to make sure our motivations were correct even before production started. - DIRECTED/EDITED/COLORED: Taylor Head https://www.instagram.com/taylorhead_/ Nolan McCoy http://www.realmccoystudios.com ORIGINAL SCORE: Iler Stoe https://soundcloud.com/iler TALENT/SCRIPT: Andrew Kovacsiss AUDIO MIX: Josiah New https://soundcloud.com/josiahnew - RED SCARLET DRAGON CANON 50MM F1.2 CANON 24-105 F4 ROKINON 14MM T3.1 GRADED WITH VSCO FILM

A tale of a young man, looking for love but sees himself as inadequate for a date. In turn he lies about himself on an online dating website hoping to impress a girl. So he submits his profile, and thinks that it's all smooth sailing from there, until he gets a phone call. --- In our second semester of college we were required to write and shoot a three to five minute short film. This is what I came up with over the course of about three months. It's not perfect, it has it's quirks but I look at it as a great learning experience for myself. A lot in the story writing department as this was the first time I had properly written a screen play, instead of just a few notes or ideas on my phone. It's what I envisioned pretty much from the start so I'm extremely happy with the concept to screen translation. I couldn't have done it with all the people around me who took time out of their day to help me make this come to life and I cant thank them enough! --- CONTACT: Instagram: www.instagram.com/nolanmccoy Email: realmccoystudios@gmail.com Photography: realmccoystudios.com --- DIRECTED, FILMED, COLOURED, EDITED and STORY by: Nolan McCoy CAST: Keenan Wesley: Stennar Martinson Jasmine Rose: Hannah Grimwood Jasmine (Blonde): Synnøve Roppestad GAFFER: Stennar Martinson AUDIO ENGINEERS: Morten Furre Caitlin Etienne FOLEY ARTISTS: Nolan Mccoy Morten Furre COSTUMES: Abby Thigpen Hannah Grimwood Stennar Martinson STORY CONSULTANTS: Morten Furre Catrina Kong Stennar Martinson TRANSPORTATION: Morten Furre MR.
