Karen Elizabeth has contributed to over 35 film projects since 2014. Filling roles as a producer, unit production manager, assistant director, writer, story consultant, and script supervisor, she has taken part in projects including feature films and award-winning documentary and narrative short films. Karen most enjoys the problem-solving opportunities that keep filmmaking exciting and finds the connections with others that make the work rewarding. She is oft referred to as “the glue that holds us all together.” ANTIDOTE is her narrative directorial debut.
Davis DeRock began acting and filmmaking in 2003. He graduated the American Musical and Dramatic Academy of Los Angeles in 2007 and has since created and acted in numerous films, commercials, and plays. He continues to create films and sketches with his co-owned company C2D2Films. When he isn’t working Davis enjoys spending time with the love of his life Shawna and their two dogs.
When creating a film for a timed competition in which no pre-writing is permitted, filmmakers must think quickly and operate efficiently to tell an entertaining story. In the making of ANTIDOTE, we had a general concept about a poisoned man and his need for a cure, then the required competition elements and the assigned sci-fi genre shaped the film. Some of the finer points, such as a repeated motif of doors as symbols of choice, are driven by intuition and the story telling itself through our being present in our work. ANTIDOTE raises classic sci-fi questions about the nature of humankind. In the same way that the story of Pinocchio showed us that conscience makes a real boy, ANTIDOTE asks about the ability to chose and the making of a human.
