waters, Ransbottom found the location where his dream could come to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrooker,\u201d a feature length film written and produced by Ransbottom, follows a relic hunter named Marshall Brooker (played by Faniel Pradel). He takes on an assignment involving exploring a cave system for ancient artifacts. There, he finds a relic with supernatural powers and refuses to hand it over to his employers until he is paid for his work\u2014an act of defiance which puts his life in danger. His experience as a wanted man is the central element of Ransbottom\u2019s movie.<\/p>\n

A native of Tampa Bay, Ransbottom desired an area that captures the essence of the Bay community. He believed Eckerd would provide the spirit he was looking for. He shot a few scenes around campus and even invited students to participate.<\/p>\n

Triton Publications<\/a>, the student newspaper of Eckerd, and the Film Collective, organized a screening of \u201cBrooker\u201d in the Dan and Mary Miller Auditorium on Oct. 23. The event included Ransbottom, his brother, Visiting Assistant Professor of Theatre Kyle Ransbottom<\/a>, the production designer, and Tanner Nau, a producer. They agreed to answer student questions following the film. Ransbottom weighed in on his choice to film at Eckerd.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin_tablet=”32″ top_margin_phone=”32″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”19271″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Tanner Nau, Producer<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”19275″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]After the film’s premiere at the\u00a0Centro Asturiano in Tampa, the cast and crew stood on stage with a scene from Eckerd College’s Waterfront appearing on the screen behind them.

Nicole Vogler, a senior film studies<\/a> student and the editor-in-chief for Triton Publications<\/a> attended the world premiere of \u201cBrooker,\u201d with Izzy Merl, the online editor for the newspaper. Michel Foug\u00e8res, the director of digital strategy and communications, alerted them to the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went to go over the premiere and kind of do a review for the movie,\u201d Vogler said.<\/p>\n

While the film was being shot at Eckerd, Vogler and other film studies majors received an email from Nielsen Assistant Professor of Film Studies Nicholas Corrao<\/a>, notifying them of the opportunity to get on set experience. Students worked behind the cameras, created items to be used in certain scenes and appeared in the background of those scenes.<\/p>\n

Vogler expressed her gratitude for the cast and crew of \u201cBrooker\u201d for filming on campus and allowing students to get a glimpse into the art of filmmaking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe [were] able to see an example of local filmmaking, of filmmaking in our area of, you know, kind of the nuts and bolts of how it\u2019s done,\u201d she added.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”19274″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]An enthusiastic crowd attended the film’s sold-out premiere in Tampa in August.
