Filmmaker from Bradenton Announces Release of Sizzle Reel To Promote His New Documentary Film
Bradenton filmmaker Frank DiCesare is pleased to announce that he has released a sizzle reel to promote his new documentary, FRAMES, which will examine analog film’s recent resurgence among young photographers in the 21st century.
Produced in association with the Center for Independent Documentary, FRAMES will feature several young analog photographers who will discuss their reasons for shooting film in today’s world of iPhones, AI, and mirrorless digital cameras. FRAMES will also feature photography experts and humanities scholars who will give their thoughts on this modern-day phenomena and what it means to the future of photography and American art.
Like all sizzle reels, FRAMES’ reel is one of Oskar Films’ primary tools to help raise money from corporate sponsors and individual donors to offset the film’s production and post-production costs.
Donors and sponsors who send their funds directly to the Center for Independent Documentary, the project’s non-profit fiscal sponsor, will receive a tax deduction for their contributions. All donors and sponsors will be mentioned in the film’s credits. In addition, all major sponsors will be listed on Oskar Film’s sponsorship page as a clickable link that will bring viewers to their website. To date, OskarFilms.com has been visited by viewers in major markets all over the world.
DiCesare, who is president and CEO of Oskar Films and FRAMES’ producer and director, said he is grateful to all those who helped make the project’s sizzle reel a reality, especially the George Eastman Museum and the Morean Arts Center.
FRAMES is DiCesare’s first feature-length film and his second since “Blacksmith,” a short poetic documentary that features the work of Rob Flurry, a blacksmith based in Beaumont, Texas. “Blacksmith” was awarded the Special Jury Remi award at the 51st WorldFest – Houston International Film Festival and has been streamed by viewers in more than 110 countries around the world.
