About the Director
Nicholas Kramer has actively been making movies since he first picked up a handy cam when he was 14 years old; that led to adventures in adolescent pyrotechnics, car stunts and potato cannons. Professionally he has quite an extensive resume in the camera department, and although he loves working with the camera, one can sense his passion for directing with his projects entitled: The Job, DUI, and episodes of the Lone Wolf McCray web series.
Producer:Jason Woods was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. Growing up on video games, junk food and kung fu flicks, he’s always loved a good adventure. In 2003, Jason attempted to sale his first screenplay, Blades of Ambition. The script didn’t sale, but instead, prompted a life-changing phone call from a Hollywood Producer. It was then, Jason realized that he didn’t understand a thing about the business. So, he dropped out of college and quit his day job. He packed everything he owned in a jeep and traveled across the country to Southern California – no job, no friends and only $500. Jason spent the first few months living out of a car with a gym membership. In 2004, he found an apartment (actually a closet) and a job at a prestigious movie theater in Hollywood. Watching his first movie in tinsel town, he made a promise that someday, his name would be up on the screen. After 10 years of hustle, struggle, prayer, growth, persistence, creativity and a never say die mentality, this promise will be fulfilled. With a talented team of friends, he raised the funding to produce his first short film, DUI. All things are possible for those who believe. Keep fighting!
DUI wouldn’t be possible without the help of many talented people. It was shot using a Red Scarlet camera, over the course of a weekend in Santa Clarita, California. We faced freezing temperatures and long dark nights in the middle of nowhere. We are truly pleased with the final product. From the gripping and heartfelt performances of the cast, to the uncompromising vision of the director and production team and even the sleepless nights in post production. Every moment was truly worth it. We proudly present to you, DUI.
