The Price of Tea in China

The Price of Tea in China from Willi Patton on Vimeo.

The film where the blog gets it title from. This was my college thesis film... well, sort of. I was taking Film Production 3 at Emerson College as a Junior. The class is set up to work in groups. At the beginning of the semester you pitch your ideas and the class votes on three films to make during the class. Mine didn't get picked. I signed up to be the editor, and also the equipment guy- I would be responsible for checking all of the camera, lights and sound stuff out and returning it for every shoot. I wanted to make my own damn film, and well I did. Here it is. Weird as hell. It marks my first time working with Stephanie Wagenman. She appears in two more of my finished projects, and also has agreed to star in my current project.
