"Double" is a 17-minute psychological thriller with metaphysical overtones. After a recent trauma, Alice has shut herself off from the world. Determined to live a life of total isolation, Alice’s plan is derailed when she discovers that a mysterious woman is shadowing her.
The Production:
"Double" began life as a series of images that came "all of a piece" one day to award-winning writer-director Keith Ray Putman. He then began to sweat over a series of screenplay drafts written in between paid writing assignments over the course of several months.
A truly independent production, "double" was created to achieve high quality on a modest budget. A small, energetic group of up-and-coming and established talent worked over a period of about eight months from casting to completion.
The film stars the director's first choice for the role of "Alice," the striking and gifted Avery Clyde ("Grey's Anatomy", "Medium," Life With Fiona), who began production a miraculous 10 days after delivering her first child.
Shot in Hi-Def on the Panasonic HVX-200 camera with a RedRock lens adapter by young gun cinematographer Alex Nikishin, production took place over 9 days of principal photography on three different Southern California locations.
Putman spent many late nights with dexterous editor David Grecu ("Psych," "Felicity") honing the cut, receiving feedback from industry professionals and "non-pro" relatives alike. Post-production was completed when the film was mixed at Warner Bros. in Burbank, California.
Co-produced by Martin Kittappa, "double" is currently making the circuit of film festivals worldwide.
