“Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.” - Robert Altman
Eight strangers in the midst of a global pandemic are summoned to a remote house in the woods of Upstate New York with one goal: to make a film. (But actually, they made ten.)
It started with a text, sent to 7 strangers from one man: Charlie Gleberman. “Come to my house and make films". We were baffled. “What?!” we said.
When the pandemic hit, we weren’t sure if going back to Yale was the right call. Instead of settling for online learning, we took the opportunity to work freely and collaboratively on independent films. Thus, Foothills was born!
