It\u2019s rare to find Nevins Theater comfortably packed at 8pm when it isn\u2019t a Student Senate meeting. However, to the pleasant surprise of the cast and crew of Loose Ends<\/em>, the Friday showing of Monica Nowik\u2019s forty-minute film brought in a crowd of professors, family members, alumni, and fellow students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose Ends<\/em> is a modern retelling of the Old English epic poem Beowulf<\/em>. The poem, famous for its story of Beowulf slaying the monster Grendel and Grendel\u2019s Mother, finds itself adapted to follow a fraternity and a mommy vlogger as they try to move forward following the death of a boy named Greyson. Alfred University alum Howard Lang plays Brian (our modern Beowulf) as he tries to go through a tumultuous interview reliving his time at his fraternity. Jessie Stahlman (Greyson\u2019s Mother, the mommy vlogger) is his antagonist, a monster of a woman who he learns is just as complicated as he is. Stahlman is not from Alfred University, but both her acting on-screen and her interactions with the audience during the reception seemed as if she\u2019d always been known to the Alfred community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students Tristan Duhan, Brian Ngatunga, Daniel Michael, Alyra Rain, Erie Hammond, Kathleen Pietron, Shirite Westreich, Corrie Kayes, and Zac Laury were some of the familiar faces that starred in the film. Dr. Danielle Gagne had a cameo as a star-struck faculty member following Brian (Lang) in awe in the opening of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ashton Julian was the costume designer for the film, who detailed that the fraternity shirts were specifically made and designed by Julian and Nowik. Julian also thrifted shirts for the character of Brian to create a narrative flow of his arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know, it\u2019s like he\u2019s putting his armor on,\u201d they said, of a notable outfit in which Brian is wearing a Taxi Driver<\/em> t-shirt when he goes to visit Greyson\u2019s Mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The through-thread of Brian\u2019s obsession with being seen as important and worthy of attention, comes across in his \u201cfilm-bro\u201d aesthetic. Posters of Taxi Driver<\/em>, \u201cphilosophical\u201d discussions about Quentin Tarantino, and a t-shirt depicting Scarface<\/em> all revolving around Brian was Nowik\u2019s way of telling us that he understands the world in a superficial way\u2013at least until we part with him at the end of the film. What lies ahead of Brian, we\u2019ll never know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the film, the crowd was encouraged to meet at the Alumni Lounge for food, an actor meet and greet, and a director\u2019s Q&A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat was your favorite scene to film, what was most interesting?\u201d Stahlman asked Nowik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI mean, all of it was interesting. All of it came with its own hurdles. I think the first day of filming when we got the Airbnb hosted by Wilma, that day was definitely up there in my favorites just because it was all so new to all of us. We were like, \u2018How are we going to do this?\u2019 And we learned very quickly that there were some ways we were not going to continue doing it, so that was really fun. I think, like, for me it was the scene with you [Jessie] and Howard outside at the Bandstand, with Greyson\u2019s Mom and Brian, and they\u2019re both a little tipsy and they\u2019re having this conversation which was actually improvised about printing double-sided. You guys were just having that conversation-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were so cold,\u201d Lang interjected, to the laughter of everyone in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was very cold outside!\u201d Nowik resumed, \u201cAnd we were just talking about it and I asked them if they would improvise a little bit at the beginning of the take and it just led into\u2026that entire scene is one-take.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about how the inspiration came to be, Nowik said that it was a collaborative effort. Julian was responsible for the environment surrounding frat boys, whereas a conversation with Dr. Melissa Ryan encouraged Nowik to explore Beowulf<\/em> for her film. As Nowik began to explore the poem, she was drawn toward the inconsistency of Grendel\u2019s Mother, the fact that she had no name and was an \u201cundesirable woman.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of making this film was a rewarding challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s the movie that you write, there\u2019s the movie that you film, and there\u2019s the movie that you edit,\u201d Nowik said, citing advice from Dr. Nick Schlegel.<\/p>\n\n\n

She took much of her inspiration from directors like John Cassavetes and Elaine May, wanting to just let the actors lead the filming with little direction from her. This actor-forward approach, to her, is the better way to make movies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Cassavetes takes this kind of approach where] it\u2019s okay when it goes out of focus, it\u2019s okay when they\u2019re out of frame or whatever, because that\u2019s not the point. It\u2019s not about that fancy camera work. Which, cinematography is amazing and I\u2019m not a cinematographer, and that\u2019s also part of it. I\u2019m not going to pretend to be something I\u2019m not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ngatunga asked Nowik how she managed to keep moving forward, despite knowing that the film she was making was facing scheduling and filming challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first weekend we wrapped filming and I just had a moment where I was like, \u2018Because I\u2019ve already started this, this is never going to be a perfect movie. And that was so freeing because I was like, I don\u2019t have to try and make it perfect anymore, and I can just make the best movie that I can make. From there, I just felt really motivated to finish it because so many people helped me to make this movie and I wanted to make this movie. I wanted to see this done and I wanted to be able to press play and watch my own movie. But the process, also, was more important to me than the end result, as long as everyone got something out of it, as long as I felt like I was learning things and I was going in a good direction, I didn\u2019t really care if I got a movie out of it. But I did!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the Q&A came in the form of questions and comments praising Nowik\u2019s good work, her explaining the meaningful nuances of the actors\u2019 performances, and the audience desperate to learn more about her process in making her film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toward the end of the Q&A, Nowik was asked whether she would direct another film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I can make my next film about women, I mean, yeah!\u201d she replied, to the combined laughter and approval of many members of the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose Ends<\/em> was Monica Nowik\u2019s senior thesis project for the Honors Program and English department. To the delight of her, her cast and crew, and her committee (Drs. Rob Reginio, Susan Mayberry, and Susan Morehouse), the production and premiere were notable successes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all, Loose Ends<\/em> will remain a memorable experience for everyone involved. Those of us in the Prunty-Russo Media Lab, and those of us who know Nowik, are all incredibly proud at the amazing effort and work that our own Cassavetes put into creating a Beowulf<\/em> befitting of Alfred University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
