Dear Friends,

Welcome to the official website of "As They Fade" - an Emerson College B.F.A. thesis film. I am proud to say that in July of 2009, I was finally able to realize my vision and begin production after nearly two years in development. Bringing "As They Fade" to life has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, both as a filmmaker and as a human being. Our seven-day shoot was an outstanding collaboration that brought together people from all aspects of my life from childhood to adulthood. The film would not have been possible without the efforts of such an accommodating and inspiring combination of family and friends. I have never been more proud.

The story of Abby in "As They Fade" is one that has intrigued me since high school. While the film revolves around several stories told through the eyes of young Abby, none are told in their entirety. Instead, the film is structured around the notion that the most unassuming setting may in fact have been the scene of some of history's most captivating and interrelated stories. In "As They Fade," the remnants of the past lie buried beneath the currents of majestic Lake Superior -- that is, until Abby uncovers them. She weaves through each story, while searching for her own.

I hope you enjoy learning about the production. Keep checking back to learn about our next screenings!
