The Blue Orb Trailer - Out now.To watch the trailer on YouTube just click to the only link in my bio. Here is a selection of my favourite stills.The world is in chaos after a gigantic blue orb arrives in the centre of Auckland City. It is up to two hapless men to travel into the “O-Zone” - the area surrounding the orb - to save their brother from within.This film is a concept trailer for a feature film named The Blue Orb. This film was made over a weekend by two best friends as both the cast and the crew.It started with a fun idea which turned into several surreal writing sessions which turned into a rough script for a 15 minute short film. Rather than wait, we decided to head out to Waiuku, and just make it. A lot was improvised and making it in the elements was a challenge but we were out there, making. Starring, written and shot by Ben Dickens and Callum McSorley @mcsorleycallum Edited and music by Ben DickensGuest Starring Mason Rudd @_masonracin_ I think it’s important to do passion projects on your own dime. Keeps the joy alive. Till the next one. by @ben.dickens
