A Midsummer Nights Dream-Trailor
// August 3rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Film, New Media, Television, Theatre
Jacob Metiva’s feature of ‘A Midnummer Nights Dream’ is a beautiful idea, it takes a play written for the stage and adapts it to film, although this is something done in the past by other films, it certainly is a excellent reminder of the versatility of theatre. By modernizing it and putting the script on film Jacob reminds us that theatre and film are still very related, and we should not forget that theatre is the predecessor to film. It does not mean that theatre is dead or irrelevant, as it certainly is still pertenant in todays society; however, he is showing that theatre is versatile and can still present a strong message still relevant to todays society by modernizing a classic script. It certainly is refreshing to see a classical piece like this done in a way that is both entertaining and illuminating, it just goes to show how classical theatrical works are timeless, even on a low budget.
‘Check out the trailer for the feature length movie that [Jacob Metiva's] been working on this year. It’s a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy that maintains most of the original text, but updates the situation. We’re all really proud of the work we did on such a low budget. Please spread the word and try to leave us some positive comments!’
