THE SYNOPSIS

Two evil men and one mysterious man meet by chance at a bar. After some conversation over some drinks the two men rob the other in a routine hold up. What they will found out is that it was not a routine hold up their lives will be forever changed. Easy Mark is a short film written and directed by Phil Vaglia. It is based off an Alfred Hitchcock short story. The film was shot on location in Charlotte, NC. They used a Panasonic 24p camera as you can tell by the footage and wrapped a little over a year ago. After waiting for his over booked editor to begin post, Phil wore impatient and asked me to cut it. I of course obliged as I love cinema and thought it would be another movie to add to repertoire. I will fill you in on techniques, challenges and enjoyments of the endeavor as I go along.
