Berman Fenelus - "LANA"
When I began to write the screenplay for LANA, my vision was so clear in my mind that I knew to bring it to life I would need the best resources and the right team.
My production company All Area Crew and I teamed up with Filament Features and actress Shannon Lucio to play the role of LANA. Together we tightened up the script, rehearsed scenes, acquired talent and created a budget, which would allow us to create this story. Along the way we polished this to a film that exceeded all of our expectations.
I have helped visualize pictures and videos for many others, always going the extra mile to make quality and professionalism a priority. This is my passion project and I am eager to share this story through my vision.
