A film crew and a nervous young director craft an expressive dance scene. A quietly observant exploration of a film set, “Proscenium,” directed by Georgia Evenson, portrays the filmmaking process with a shifting POV. The crew settles into place and “Action!” is called.

Evensen’s film vividly captures a mood, a blend of nervous energy, inexperience, and creative bonding. -KA. Director: Georgia Evensen. Cast: Olivia Sprague, Asha Manthena, Liliana Chomsky. DP: Logan Watts. Editor: Georgia Evensen. Producers: Georgia Evensen, Annibelle Washburn, Kelsey Sha. Production Designer: kv Van Buskirk.
