I have loved the medium since childhood, said the filmmaker, a former Seneca, Mo., resident. I would choose a Charlie Chaplin movie over a cartoon at the rental store.
I love the idea of telling stories visually, and film gives me the perfect platform.
Her latest short film, entitled Tiny Red Universe, was picked up by the Independent Film Channel and is airing throughout the month of May.
Tremblay, who graduated from Seneca High School in 1999 and now lives in Lincoln, Neb.
, said that being able to see her ideas transform from a script she wrote in only three hours through the directing and editing process and finally being picked up and broadcast is the realization of a lifelong dream.
While the running time for Tiny Red Universe is under five minutes, the film which was shot on location in downtown Omaha took five hours to lens and two months of editing before it was ready to be sent out for viewing.
I submitted the film to the IFC Media Lab, and it was accepted to their Web site, then a month later I got an e-mail asking if they could air the film on their cable channel, Tremblay said.
I was ecstatic. This is the kind of exposure you can only hope for. To have my short aired four times on an international cable channel is almost unbelievable.
I am very proud and glad that something I created has been accepted by the independent film industry.
Tremblay, who also stars in the film, said the idea came from real life experiences.
The film is about a man and a woman who meet by chance, and they make a connection while talking about life, love and the universe, she said.
The idea was inspired by a real conversation I had with a friend one night. I made my feelings of affection known to him, and he basically said, Maybe in another universe.
