Marko Sakren has been practicing the art and science of cinematic storytelling for quite awhile now, in between family and day jobs, having completed five feature films and dozens of shorts on shoestring budgets, exploring a variety of genres and styles. He has written more than a dozen screenplays, of which four have been produced.
Closer to the Line was produced on the fly with limited resources and without a crew, as an exercise in simplicity, showing a story more than telling it. The limited dialogue was intentional, focusing more on action and picture rather than voices, showing moments to unfold the story. Designed as a pitch for development of a feature project or series. Any backers out there?
