STORY
Basic skeleton of the story taken from Kieslowski's Short Film About Killing .

We follow 2 characters (a young man and older livery cab driver) as they go about their daily routine. The two inevitably meet. The young man kills the driver only to be sentenced to death by the court.

TECHNICAL INFO
Some general info. The movie is shot on location in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens with Panasonic DVX100 camera.

This DV camera captures superb 16mm-like images. It's capable of shooting true progressive frames in 24 frames per second. That means that eventually we might transfer this movie to film. At this moment though it's out of the question (due to the transfer costs and the fact that many festivals now days accept digital format).

The film was going to be edited on Avid Xpress Pro but instead we are using Vegas Video -- much more powerful and versatile editing application.
