Dianne's work in Film:

Short Film

The Choice:

• In February 2012 I Produced, Wrote, and Directed a short film for the 168 Film Project. Our film, The Choice, will premiere at the 168 Film Festival March 30-31, 2012 in the Los Angeles area. Specifically, The Choice is scheduled to screen at approximately 9:00 at the Hope Theatre in San Fernando. We may not show our short film until after the premiere, however you can view the trailer. It is linked on the 168 Film Project trailer page.

You may view The Choice movie trailer here:

• The Choice movie trailer on YouTube
• The Choice movie trailer on Vimeo

According to 168 Film Project contest rules, I may not show the film until after it premieres (that means shows FIRST!) at the 168 Film Festival March 30-31, 2012 in the Los Angeles area. However after that, I plan to upload The Choice online  so you may see it. Please visit again after April 1 for the link. (Run time: 9:56.)

Short Film

Air Guitar:

• In January 2012 I Produced, Wrote, and Directed this short film as a "practice film" in preparation for Writing/Producing/Directing a 168 Film Project in February. Everyone involved in this fun little film was also involved in The Choice.

The 168 Film Project:

The 168 Film Project is a Christian ministry in Hollywood that gives filmmakers of all experience levels the opportunity to illuminate God's Word on the Screen. Each film team is assigned a Bible verse on which to base their story. They then have ten days for pre-production to write the script (max 11 minutes including credits), secure actors, locations, etc. They then have 168 hours (1 week) to produce their film and turn it in.

The Choice trivia:

• My Team (#22) was assigned the following Scripture verse on Which  to base our story: Romans 10:11-13:

¹¹ As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” ¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³ for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

• Our story, The Choice, is based on the true story by the same title found in Deliver Me: Hope, Help, & Healing through True Stories of Unplanned Pregnancy.
