NYU’s Max Tromba wraps his latest short film “Waves”

NYU’s Max Tromba recently wrapped his latest short film “Waves.”  The film was shot using equipment provided by Film Star Rentals.

Max provided us with a synopsis and statement about the film and his experience with the shoot, as well as his experience with Film Star:

Waves chronicles a few days in the life of Nora, a college grad living with her aunt in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. As the summer season of tourists and beach weather comes to a close, in Nora’s eyes, so does her life. She is left with a meaningless diploma and no place to go but back to her childhood home. Norah seems to retrogress to her life before college. But is it possible to recapture the excitement of her pre-college home, the love of her high school sweetheart, and the commitment to her part-time job? Although she is surrounded by the vibrant colors of the coming fall in a small town, Norah finds herself with no future and no idea what she wants to do with her life.

The Waves production started on the 9th of October, 2009 and was an absolutely amazing experience from the beginning. What really should have been shot in three or four days we accomplished in two over our first shoot weekend in Cape Cod. It was a bit chaotic getting everybody up to Wellfleet, Massachusetts and our director of photography was late on his way to pick up equipment from Film Star Rentals in Boston. He arrived right as Film Star was closing. He said that everybody helping him was efficient and friendly about getting us off with the equipment to Wellfleet for our first early morning of shooting. The equipment was incredible and we didn’t run into any trouble with it. Starting from the beginning with Film Star and talking with Rudi I have not been more satisfied with a rental house. I was always surprised at how our needs were always taken care of in an extremely timely fashion which I have not seen with other rental houses. Next time we will drive from New York to Boston for our equipment!
