Nick Singer ’11 develops film studies thesis as ‘Other Months’

Filmmaker and Film Studies major Nick Singer ’11 is developing his film that began as his senior thesis while at Wesleyan. Other Months, which was chosen as an in-competition short at the 2012 Slamdance Film Festival and is nearing production on the third of its three sections. SLUG Magazine gave the first section, February, 5 out of 5 stars.

From the Kickstarter page:

“Already more than two years in the making, Other Months began as the short film, February, which was writer/director Nick Singer’s student thesis at Wesleyan University. Energized by the finished short and its strong reception, and convinced there was much more left to explore in Nash’s story, Nick began work on July and November. These three installments—_February_, July, and November—make up the whole that is Other Months. July was filmed a little over a year ago and is complete. With parts one and two finished, only November, the third and final part of the trilogy, is left. November is scheduled to shoot at the tail end of this year. We are raising money for the production of November, and we need your help!”
