LET THE EDITING BEGIN!
Hello Friends,
I have so much wonderful news to report. From creative progress and team additions on “Tenants of Carver Hill,” to the new film website and the completion of a new short film, FDP is making great art. Thank you to all the supporters and collaborators. - Hollis
NEW KEY ART
I am excited to share our key art designed by Nicole Ellingson. With film and fine art as her background, Nicole began her design career with her first key art assignment being CATWOMAN starring Halle Berry. As her career grew, her work expanded across multiple brands and ad agencies. Nicole is currently the VP Group Creative Director of Quigley-Simpson, the largest woman-owned advertising agency in North America. She leads creative campaigns for Chase Bank and Marriott, which sends her to travel the globe as both the director and leader of the creative charge.

LET THE EDITING BEGIN
Welcome Brian Ufberg to the team. With over thirty years of editing under his belt, Brian has worked alongside some of the industry’s top filmmakers, including Alejandro Gonzálas Innuritu, Stephen Soderburgh, and David Fincher. His provocative editing work on Osgood Perkins’ horror films, THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER (A24) premiered at TIFF, as did I AM THE PRETTY THING THAT LIVES IN THE HOUSE (Netflix). Additional credits include THE PRODIGY (MGM Orion) and multi-award-winning festival favorite, the dark-comedy, FUNNY STORY, which won him a Best Editing award. Brian’s most recent work can be seen in Netflix’s phycological thriller, HYPNOTIC.
Choosing the right editor is a crucial step in crafting a cohesive and successful film. A movie is shaped in three phases: the script, on set, and during the editing process. An effective editor must intimately understand both the story and the filmmaker’s vision, enhancing the narrative through careful attention to pacing, tone, and rhythm in the cuts and transitions. With Brian's extensive experience and unique creative perspective, this collaborative relationship promises to be a recipe for success.
“YES”
Our social justice short film is now complete.
Our immigrant’s journey short film by writer/director Randi Barros is finished. The premiere was met with a full house and full hearts. This powerful immigration story was inspired by personal experience and the desire to insight change. Production is excited for the upcoming festival run.
LOG LINE: Orphaned by fire, Mia lives with her aunt in a rural desert-scape by the Mexican American border. When she finds an immigrant mother and daughter hiding in her shed, she is jolted out of grief and into action.
Randi Barros is a screenwriter, director, and film editor. Her screenplay, THE CHICKEN FESTIVAL, is a Nicholl Fellowship semifinalist and is in development. In addition to Nicholl, Randi’s screenplays have been honored by the Writers Lab, CinéStory, The Grey List, Final Draft Big Break, Athena, and the Austin Film Festival. She teaches film and storytelling at Cal Poly University, where she received the Learn by Doing Scholar Award in 2022.
“YES” was produced by Hollis Sherman-Pepe and Farmer’s Daughter Productions.“I love to champion female voices in film. As this seasoned writer-editor moves into the world of directing, I aim to support her as she takes her seat at the table and instill her with the confidence to do so." - Hollis Sherman-Pepe
