A Woman Called Job. His passion for editing complex and surreal films such as “Donnie Darko” and most recently for the “The Box”, with Cameron Diaz, lead him to want to bring his musical and audio talents to the table. By integrating his original score as a major editorial element, One Brick Films eyes the finishing line to complete its first feature film.


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 actressTamara 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.

One Brick Films is currently seeking a producing partner to help complete post-production.

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.
