Perspective is an episodic drama film from Canada directed by B. P. Paquette and starring Stéphane Paquette, Patricia Tedford, and Pandora Topp in a love triangle.[1][1][2][3][4]
Production
Subtitled Variations on a Love Triangle in 9 Chapters, and inspired by the renown documentary Up Series, Perspective is unique in that it is a feature-length fiction film in progress, and will continue to evolve over the next four to eight years. Every year a new chapter of the film will be presented exclusively at Cinéfest until the project is complete. Each chapter will run approximately 10 to 20 minutes, with the completed film expected to be approximately 90 minutes in length. The time lapse between chapters will be integrated into the drama.[1][1][2][3]
At the premiere of each additional chapter, the preceding chapter(s) are replayed. Thus far, the fist two chapters, titled, respectively, Chapter 1: Salt & Soda (2012), and Chapter 2: Chris and Other Beards (2013), have been completed and presented.[4]
The film features music and sound design (the onscreen credit states "soundscapes") by Daniel Bédard, production design by Joseph Kabbach, and cinematography by Ivan Gekoff.
An accomplished educator, filmmaker B. P. Paquette is using Perspective as a teaching tool for his film production students in the Motion Picture Arts program at Thorneloe University (federated with Laurentian University). In this context, Perspective offers students a unique opportunity to work on, and observe first hand, a professional production.[1][1][2][3]
Festival recognition
The first of the nine chapters that comprise Perspective, titled Chapter 1: Salt & Soda, premiered at Cinefest in 2012.[1][1][2][3] The second chapter, titled Chapter 2: Chris and Other Beards, premiered at Cinefest in 2013.[4]
Theatrical release
Perspective will be released commercially in theatres across Canada when it is complete sometime between 2016 and 2020.
