With only a few weeks left before the shoot, the Breakaway team is getting very excited!
We have our cast in place, crew on board, and locations secured. We are still in the process of hiring a Gaffer, Grip and PAs, but we have some great applicants to interview for the positions.
The next hurdle to jump is craft services. Being that this is a low budget film, all of the money goes into equipment rentals, insurance, locations, paying staff, etc. We are hoping that this expense will be covered through the kindness of local restaurants. Time to make some phone calls!

Inspirations for Breakaway
The following is a statement from Writer/Director Ivan Bukta about what inspired the story of "Breakaway" as well as the visual approach of the film. There are also some inspiration pictures below.
My love for psychological thrillers andhorrors stems from seeing David Lynch’s groundbreaking TV series "Twin Peaks" when I was 11. What I loved about the series and the film prequel, "Fire Walk with Me", was the beauty of a mystery, the juxtaposition of horror and beauty, as well as the structure of a puzzle in which a viewer has to put the pieces together as he/she goes along with the story. I attempted a similar thing with "Breakaway". Anothe rtouchstone for my film is Maya Deren’s experimental short "Meshes of the Afternoon", with its use of symbolic elements such as windows, halls, mirrors, and staircases, as well as its interplay of light and shadows.
