Movie Filmed in Durant, OK to Appear At Film Festivals

DURANT, Okla. - April 16, 2016 - PRLog -- A film is a special kind of art. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a film is worth a million. No other medium engrosses us like film. No other medium engages your senses on as many levels. No other medium lets you walk in someone else's dream.

It is this immersive aspect of cinema that ignites the passions of filmmaker Joel Dameron.

"A movie shouldn't just be moving pictures," Dameron explains. "It should be a complete experience. It should be felt on every level."

Dameron takes creative control of every project. "I write, direct, edit it, do the cinematography and write and perform all the music. I want the viewer to fully experience every aspect of it - visually, audibly, emotionally, and cerebrally," he explains. This makes his films a complete, singular artistic piece, all directly created in the mind of a single creator, unlike any other currently in the industry.

The Durant, Oklahoma, resident recently completed a film short, the Chair, which will be presented this weekend at Bare Bones International Film and Music Festival in Muskogee, OK.  The Chair debuted at the 2016 Trail Dance Film Festival, where it was given Director's Choice honors.

A passionate artist, Dameron is not one to rest after completing a work.  Following the completion of The Chair, he immediately began work on a full length movie entitled Hitters, which was recently completed. A story of hitmen competing in a last man standing, killer-takes-all death match, Hitters is a gritty, satirical dark comedy.  Similar to Robert Rodriquez's low-budget debut, El Mariachi, Hitters was created with a budget of only $10,000.  The Cannes qualified film is a strong reminder that good films are built on strong writing and excellent characters.
