Making Polypore

Polypore - Official Teaser [HD] from Films Royale on Vimeo.


Jesse Barack writes about Polypore:

Polypore, a feature length sci-fi thriller, was written and is now being directed and produced by Jesse Barack, age 22. Through various methods of networking, Barack was able to shoot footage in Manhattan, Tokyo, Paris and Los Angeles. The film features primarily English but also French and Japanese with English subtitles. The main plot concerns a recent college graduate who adopts supernatural abilities and finds himself the target of a weapons manufacturing corporation. There are countless symbolic references to society and politics, some apparent and some hidden in metaphor. Polypore has been awarded a grant by the Arts Council at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The project is also being sponsored by the Independent Film Production Club at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Jesse Barack's company Films Royale has been awarded "Best Student Film" at the 2005 Northampton Independent Film Festival and "Best Overall" at the 2009 UVC-TV 19 Film Festival at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The works of Films Royale have also been featured at the 2005 New York International Independent Film & Video Festival, the 2009 Philadelphia Independent Film Festival and SHORTSNONSTOP, an initiative of the Canadian Film Centre's 2010 Worldwide Short Film Festival.
