Clip "Party Song"
2006, 97 mins
Super 16mm
Nick Peterson, Mary DeFreese, Eric Schopmeyer, Nora Ryan, Nico Izambard
Description from Northwest Film Forum:
The collaboration of filmmaker Nick Peterson and musician Eric Schopmeyer, "yellow" combines the sensibilities of Ernst Lubitsch's Hollywood musicals of the 1930s and the restrained photographic sense of Yasujiro Ozu to create a unique modern musical exploring the complexities of love, sex and relationships. The story follows cynical Natalie (Nora Ryan) and her interactions with new boyfriend Matt (Eric Schopmeyer) and best friend Christian (Nico Izambard). The clever original songs never upstage the film, but rather serve as integral parts of the story. Amazingly, they were recorded live on the set with the musicians accompanying off camera, lending a naturalness to the performances and transitions. Shot and edited completely on film, "yellow's" daring artistic approach makes the indie musical one of the most original features to come out of Portland in recent years.
