“Could there be a greater journey in the making of a film than ‘Get Better?’” Linder said. “Life imitates art? Art imitates life? The good news is that the director was with me, we made that film and I am proud of it.”
And the movie was made well below Hollywood standard costs. Without sacrificing stunning images and quality acting, Chris White said they were able to produce the movie for $10,000.
“There has never been another moment in cinema like the one in which we are presently living. Even as the big movies get bigger, it is now possible for the small movies to get better,” said Chris White.
Chris said three technological advances allowed making a film like “Get Better” possible. Those include the ubiquity of social media to raise funds, availability of DSLR High Definition (HD) photography and the rise of widespread Internet-based media distribution.
The film will be screened Monday, June 18 at 7 p.m., but much of the cast and crew will arrive at 6:30 p.m. in red carpet style. After the screening of the feature-length movie, they will be on hand to answer questions from the audience. Tickets will be available at the door, but advance tickets are recommended by visiting www.GetBetterTheMovie.com.
“Get Better” is presented by the Tryon Film Society in partnership with Paris MTN Scout, an Internet-based film distribution company based in Greenville, S.C.
