The Coen Brothers of Bryan College, Bryan Z. Saylor and Jordan Pilgrim, are an inseparable filming unit this year. Submitting not one but two films to the Broad Street Film Festival, the duo has proved that they are insane and in much need of sleep.

There Will be Time
Directed by: Bryan Z. Saylor
Written by: Jordan Pilgrim & Bryan Z. Saylor
Director of Photography: Jordan Pilgrim
Starring: Kendall Armstrong / Kelly Shannon / Justin Winters

Synopsis: An abstract silent film inspired by “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”

Tidbits: Made as the final project in Chris Clark’s Silent Film class last semester, and their first film.

My Brother’s Keeper
Directed by: Bryan Z. Saylor
Written by: Jordan Pilgrim & Bryan Z. Saylor
Director of Photography: Jordan Pilgrim
Starring: Joshua Jones / Clayton Schmidt / Carol Clark

Synopsis: A tale of two brothers

Tidbits: My Brother’s Keeper is one of those films where “Everything went wrong on the set,” Bryan said. But it wasn’t all bad. During the editing proccess, Bryan and Jordan said that they were excited about certain scenes and the potential that exists. It is stylistically very different from There Will be Time.

A Park Bench for Todd Kirkland
Written, directed and edited by: Zach Scheller
Director of Photography: Jordan Pilgrim
Original music: Jeff Schwenke/Brittany McGehee
Starring: Jason Hundley/Brittany McGehee/Caleb Fendrich

Synopsis: A homeless man invites himself into the lives of a young couple for a few days.

Tidbits: It was a smooth production, even with the scheduling obstacles. New actors brought “a variety of new challenges and skills to the table” — Zach

It’s that time of year again: Caffeine-induced students feverishly completing their films to be submitted to the Broad Street Film Festival. The film festival has gone through several changes from recent years, and will continue to be held at the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga on April 25.

The biggest change this year is the involvement of Covenant College (Lookout Mountain, Ga.). Senior Ben Johnson thinks that involving another school is a big step forward, helping the transition from a school event into an actual festival.

Sophomore Joshua Davis is excited about the opportunity for Bryan and Covenant filmmakers. Read full story »
