Almost Films is a group of like-minded, up and coming filmmakers who are currently in their final year at SUNY Purchase. It all started with two roommates. Alyssa Codamon, the filmmaker, had her senior thesis film ahead of her and Michelle Fetky, the Arts Management Major, had no idea what she was doing for her senior project. After Michelle had a light bulb moment, she knew there was no better project than to produce her roommates senior thesis film.
Merry Christmas, Eve is an honest story about four post-collegiate students who are struggling between college life and the real world. Merry Christmas, Eve is so much more than just a film. This whole journey of creating a film is a story about a group of young people collaboarting and creating something that speaks to an entire generation as they themselves are going through the same experience as the four in the film.
Merry Christmas, Eve is going far beyond a senior thesis and is the launching pad for Almost Films. Directed by Alyssa Codamon and produced by Michelle Fetky, this is how Almost Films was born. Together the duo Kickstarted, Facebooked and even Twittered. They have gotten much help from their families and friends to help make this happen. Their logo was even created by a fellow friend, graphic designer, Laura Dykas.
Almost Films has added another two films to their collaboration. A documentary about Scammon Bay, Alaska, by Elizabeth Hixenbaugh and a working title narrative called Winter Break by, Patrick Katz.
Almost Films hopes to grow and be successful in the near future.
