Post-production is headed up by veteran editor of over 35 films, Ed Marx (”Jeepers Creepers I & II”, “Swimming With Sharks”, “Peaceful Warrior”, “Humboldt County”).
After successfully recording acoustic guitar elements of the original score with Chandler Kinchla of the band Blues Traveler, OBF has recently gained the interest of innovative composer Andy Garfield to record additional music and to create psychedelic sound design elements for “A Woman Called Job”. Andy most recently worked on indy horror films Hatchet and Frozen which was just selected for competition at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2010.
“A Woman Called Job” is about an uninspired ghostwriter who embarks on a psychedelic journey where he meets his muse, a woman called Job. One Brick Films is currently in the final stages of post-production with its first feature film based on a story by W. Watts Biggers (creator of 1960’s cartoon ‘Underdog‘) starring Australian actor Adam Garcia (”Coyote Ugly”, the musical “Wicked”, “Flight of the Concords”, “Riding In Cars With Boys”, “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen”) and actress Tamara Feldman (”Perfect Stranger”, “Hatchet”, “Gossip Girl”,” Dirty Sexy Money”). “A Woman Called Job” marks the first feature length film for writer /director Kurt Burk, which was produced by One Brick Films co-founder Mark J. Melchiori. The film was shot on location in Cape Cod, Massachusetts by cinematographer James Mann.

The film is inventive and assured - never a foot placed wrong visually. I was also struck by your casting and direction of the non-pros. That is very [...] [...more]
“Here’s one I don’t say to many directors: you certainly have a gift for making interesting shots. That’s what struck me watching without concern for the story. The film is inventive and assured - never a foot placed wrong visually. I was also struck by your casting and direction of the non-pros. That is very hard to pull off. You’ve set yourself a difficult task: finding the images to convey an inward vision that includes the world in its own unique perspective. Mental images. I just caught up with Francis Coppola’s ‘Youth Without Youth’, based on a Mircea Eliade story that shares some of those qualities with ‘A Woman Called Job’. Of course Coppola is already an Old Master, but you and he are both making a new kind of film. ” Bill Krohn has been the Los Angeles correspondent of Cahiers du Cinema since 1978, and the film reviewer for The Economist since 2004. He co-wrote, -directed, -produced It’s All True: Based on an Unfinished Film by Orson Welles.

“The search for the loved one somewhat parallels ‘A Very Long Engagement’ by Jeunet but ‘A Woman Called Job’ is much better. I loved the temporal mix we witness in the mind of the protagonist. The end is very moving. All together, all my congratulations, Kurt, for this beautiful film.” Jean-Pierre Geuens, Ph.D. USC; UCLA; [...] [...more]
