JET Progress Begins Filming "Winnowing"

HONOLULU - April 14, 2023 - PRLog -- The JET Progress production of the film Winnowing, based on a screenplay by acclaimed author and screenwriter William Maltese, has begun filming in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, under the direction of Daniel S. Janik. The work features Daniel S. Janik and Setsuko Tsuchiya of STATIC movie fame, playing two lead roles each.

"Two actors stretch their acting abilities to persevere through multiple live, screening auditions for possible lead roles in an otherwise undisclosed 'Really Big Film'."

"Setsuko and I are honored to each play two different roles, one of a Draqual Media Casting Director and the other of an auditioning actor/actress," says Janik. This independent production began blocking, shot-listing and scene dress rehearsals starting in early 2023.

The film begins with scenes of Jeff Candleston (played by Daniel S. Janik) and Aika Abiko (played by Setsuko Tsuchiya), the two Draqual Media Casting Directors, and continues with scenes of Robert Andrews (played by Daniel S. Janik) and Sakura Kai (played by Setsuko Tsuchiya) reading scripted excerpts from seven different William Maltese books.

WINNOWING -- https://winnowing.yolasite.com -- a movie about human perseverance, reaches beyond its apparent theme, however. People are being increasingly challenged regarding how much they can and should reveal of themselves in a world beset with phishing, hacking, spoofing, trolling, and money/identity theft. What makes a stellar audition, job interview or online webpage, blog or podcast? Is it really about genuine self-disclosure, or seeming authenticity of a particular character role? Is it, as Shakespeare said in "As You Like It" (spoken by Jaques), "All the world's a stage/And all the men and women merely players...?"
