Filmmaker Jim Haverkamp and film photographer Steve Daniels were at the IP Stanback Museum and Planetarium (The Stanback) Sunday April 27 for the screening of their film "Willow Garden", along with the opening short "Moth to Light".The audience was also treated to several other opening shorts.
Haverkamp says he's not necessarily trying to convey a particular message - the experience of making the film itself is reason enough. "The technical process of editing offers much in the way of learning about a subject, and is rewarding in it's own right. It's good to try to do something different - there's always a challenge. "Willow Garden" was definately a challenge. (Director) Don Baker and I wanted to do something different."
Both men devoloped an interest in filmmaking at an early age. Haverkamp started his filmmaking pursuits in junior high with a super 8 camera, while Daniels' interest was sparked after receiving a VHS camera from a relative while in high school.
Haverkamp and Daniels hope to again collaborate on a project. Daniels is currently an editor with a production company in Columbia, SC, while Haverkamp teaches a documentary studies class at Duke University in Durham, NC, as well as working as an editor.
Both are grateful for the opportunity to tour with Southern Circuit. Being able to interact with the audience is "quite a thrill".
