My good friend and former colleague Christopher Johnson has completed his first film called The Big Date. It was shot on film (no digital camcorders here) in Chicago with a band of usual suspects from the Chicago theatre scene, including some former Defiant Theatre stalwarts.
Chris almost single handedly started Defiant Theatre. Without his determination, along with the hard work and talents of a small core group of his former college buddies, the incredible 11-year institution that was Defiant could not have happened.
This film offers a very keen representation of the theatre company's fundamental spirit and artistry. Please enjoy.
OMG! That is sooooo awesome! When did he shoot that? So great. I feel like it was shot while I was still around... A long time in the making and worth every second. If there's any publicity artwork needed I'd be more than happy to oblige!
