twelve: the film
months as characters
Beyond simply using the months of the year as a time-table for creating “Twelve,” it was decided, early on, that it would be the writer/director’s challenge to capture the sentiment of his/her assigned month. This task was intentionally vague, allowing the filmmakers to impose their own thoughts, emotions and/or memories upon the month. This, again, will guarantee each short film’s individuality. For example, Seanbaker Carter has described his month, February, as being the “Wednesday” of the year. The month that seems to drag because it falls in between exciting times of the year. And Garth Donovan describes April as a time for coming out of hibernation. These are the types of themes that their films will embody.
