Amber Alexander | "HOPPY" - short film by Amber Alexander @amberalexander | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
During my senior year at chapman university, I wrote and created this short film as my thesis project with the help of my wonderful classmates in the television writing and production program. I'm SO proud and so thankful to everyone who worked on this!!!
I began writing this short script in September of 2022. In March 2023, my script was chosen to be produced as a result of a class vote. With barely 1 month of preproduction time, we shot the entire film over the course of one weekend in April 2023 in Chino Hills, Laguna, and Orange, California.
The entire bunny house was BUILT BY HAND by our production designer Sarah Kaiser and her art team WITHIN A WEEK. Such an impressive feat. The amount of detail that went into this build is insane & I am forever in awe!!!
Thank you to Caitlyn Phu for taking on nearly every job position on this project. As our editor, art director, set builder, costume designer, BTS photographer, and my friend throughout the entire process-- this entire production is thanks to you!!!
Thank you to Pono Van Dusen for being the BEST Juniper there could be, and thank you to The Brothers Vicious (Caden Bartlett and Pono Van Dusen) for joining forces to compose the most beautiful score I've ever heard. Watching the two of you work together was otherworldly. I eagerly wait for The Brothers Vicious to bless us again!!! :)
Thank you to Sean Lindsey for masterfully shooting and coloring this film. Having you as our cinematographer was essential to this production, and I am so lucky to have worked with you in this capacity. You're the mastermind behind it all!!!
To the entire Hoppy crew, thank you so so much. I cannot express how inspiring it was to work with you, and I am so grateful to you all. Everyone truly brought so much to the table, and it was amazing to end college with this production.
To those watching for the first time, I hope you enjoy!!! :)
