A Fleeting Breath - A Senior Thesis and Feature Film

A Fleeting Breath is a feature film written and directed by Trent Lakey. Due to the affects of current events, we have all decided to move forward with this story.

Synopsis:

A literary dilettante feels he must abandon the material world to produce a masterpiece of literature.

Director: Trent Lakey

I am a senior and time is running out, so, I've decided to make a film about the only things that interest me: the discord and unspoken truths that exist between two people, irrepressible romantic desire, and the terrible truth of inevitable death. It will be made with the intention of unveiling the abstract essence of the soul; the conflict that arises when they brush against each other, unable to see the truth behind the other's veil, or the potential harmony that occurs when the truth is seen. My film will be a drama and a tragedy, but first and foremost it will be a search for truth that will hopefully leave a distinct impression upon our viewers.

Director of Photography/Editor: Jack Floyd

Jack is a senior at Western Carolina University focused on perfecting his cinematography and editing before he graduates. He has worked with Trent on nearly every movie he has directed or produced and is excited to make this next short the highest quality work they have done together and hopes that the people who see it will enjoy it.

Producer: Bugs Wilbanks

Bugs is a sophomore at Western Carolina University who focuses on above the line and production work. She works tirelessly to ensure all aspects of the film are possible and confirm all locations, budgets, and finalized crew. They have produced multiple films during their time at WCU, and cannot wait to help create Trent's vision and make it come to life.
