Thin Slicing (2020)
Catherine Ann’s second short film, Thin Slicing, was selected as one of the top 20 films for the Louisiana Film Prize this year.
The Shoot
In a three week span, Catherine Ann adapted this romantic drama from stage to screen, raised funds, and set up a film shoot with colleagues she met on a Baton Rouge feature film in winter 2020. They filmed August 1 and 2, and submitted the film on August 11 for the festival. COVID precautions were taken during the shoot. The location was Henry Turner, Jr.’s Listening Room.
