Sidekick - short film

 In most stories there are four character archetypes, in writer Mac's imagination there's anarchy... a peak into the crazy stuff that goes on in a writer's mind. (Being John Malkovich meets Adaptation) 

Writers: Jim Shomos & Brendan Luno 

Director: Jim Shomos

First directing gig. We never quite nailed the story on script or screen. I was delighted with performances by the ensemble cast ranging from no experience, theatre, and experienced film/TV. Plus DOP Bruce Phillips did a terrific job in a crazy 2-day schedule with no budget. Launched my pro-directing career in TVCs & corporate videos.

Jim creates a safe environment to throw ideas on the table and play with the possibilities... he then gently reins in what works for his greater vision. But that space to explore and brainstorm is a big part of the joy of being an actor. Thank you, Jim! 

Louise Crawford – Actor, one of the stars of Sidekick 

I’ve consulted with a LOT of writers, and quite a few producers and studio executives. To find one who is good with story is a blessing. But to find someone like Jim Shomos who understands story, is hugely supportive of collaborators, AND is a highly skilled movie maker is very rare. Jim is simply a joy to work with.
