Filmmaker Statement

How far will YOU go? Preservation is an Emerson College senior thesis short film directed by Calvin Kertzman for the Bachelor of Fine Arts program. The short was created over a year and produced in collaboration with The Darrow School, Calvin’s former high school, and with mentorship and support from local upstate organizations Stockade Works and Berkshire Film and Media Collaborative. With a crew composed of over 30 folks from Emerson, Boston, New York, and the school itself, Preservation was an ambitious undertaking for all involved. However, the result ultimately paid off. Because of Preservation, Calvin went on to found Smile and A Wink Productions and continue working with several collaborators from this shoot on a fellow short in this screening, Grim Reefer. The ultimate hope with Preservation was to make a short that examined the consequences of violence and taking action.
