Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This is a Quick Hit Podcast short and we’re going to talk to Kevin Shahinian. Kevin is an award-winning filmmaker, graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts and founder of Pacific Pictures, a boutique film production company based in Los Angeles, CA that produces live event, corporate and original concept productions for clients around the world.

Can a love story be told as a thriller? Megan & Narbeh’s true romance seemed to inspire the myth, conventions, and iconography of the great international suspense films, set in the iconic Uppsala winter of their hometown. Knowing only that Narbeh was a member of the Swedish Air Force, and that he used to sneak off the base at times just to see Megan, we took a little dramatic license in this one-of-a-kind love story-thriller hybrid, and hope to have celebrated the places that remind these two what made their very first moments together unforgettable.

Great stuff, thanks

This is the problem with some people who miss the milkround at film school. They then try to prove to themselves that they are good and they should have been noticed. They then try to unleash their concept of a SOCIAL EVENT on simple people who all in all just want to partake in their social event and enjoy with friends and family. I believe that most people who employ video or photo guys just want them to do their job unobtrusively as possible, discreetly & go with the flow. Whereas you employ a guy like Kevin and it then becomes a continuos dress rehearsal and stressful for the couple & family. Furthermore the natural flow of the event is lost forever. Kevin needs to make a film someone fund him or direct him to forums re film making. Anyway good work Kevin.
