Shot during a REAL solar eclipse, Many Moons depicts a regret filled man who discovers his only chance to reconnect with the ghost of his wife is during the 1 minute and 50 seconds of totality under the shadow of the moon.

Many Moons depicts a regret filled man who discovers his only chance to reconnect with the ghost of his wife is during the 1 minute and 50 seconds of totality under the shadow of the moon. Many Moons contains a scene that is entirely one take which was shot during the August 21st, 2017 “Great American Eclipse” in Prineville, Oregon directly under the path of totality. The time constraint of the moon’s shadow sweeping across the landscape meant there was only had one shot at this. No second takes, No additional camera angles, No green screen. A true oner that could only be done once.

We shot on 90% of the film on a RED Epic Dragon 6K with Dyaliscope Anamorphic Lenses (Old vintage Russian anamorphics from the 1970s). The goal was to use anamorphic lens flares as a tool to draw the eye to the sun and emphasis the presence of the impending eclipse. The ending was shot with Cooke Mini S4s lenses and because of the unpredictability of the exposure during the actual eclipse, the oner was shot on an A7s ii with Canon lenses (I ended up racking ISO during the shot and smoothening it out in post)
