This year it was a tightrope, next year it’s a satellite.
Clayton Brown’s “Galileo’s Grave” follows Paula Froehle’s “Up on the Rope” as the recipient of the annual IFP/Chicago Production Fund. Writer/producer Brown, producer Andrew Suprenant and DP Stefani Foster will enjoy $100,000 in donated goods and services.
When they shoot their feature next May, they will have Panavision, Kodak, Fletcher, and Resolution Digital Studios to work with. .
“Galileo’s Grave” is the story of two reclusive audiophiles?a man who monitors satellites on his shortwave radio and a woman who records graveyard apparitions?brought together on the night that NASA crashes the Galileo satellite into Jupiter to avoid contaminating potential life on Jupiter’s moon Europa.
