Production
“The cast and crew deserve so much of the credit for making Vindication as they have stuck with me through the whole process. That is a lot to ask of people for no or little money, but as production grew it just kept getting better as did the movie itself,” explains Bart. Working on an ultra low budget of less than $200,000 VINDICATION prides itself on being filmed with an independent spirit of filmmaking as it is a movie of finding one’s path of self-discovery and accepting oneself, which just happens to be told within the horror genre. For Nicolas Bertram his path of accepting himself is both painful and horrifying, and as with all great tragedies this journey of self-discovery it is a process that is something far greater in than Nicolas ever imagined himself to be. VINDICATION is a visual horror movie influenced by great pieces of tragedy, theater, literature, and great movies and, of course, classic horror films. Bart directed his focus on making sure that VINDICATION is more of a chilling personal story for the movie’s tragic protagonist, Nicolas Bertram, through utilizing the cinematic elements of film making: story, music, sound, cinematography, editing and acting. “All great movies, especially the horror genre, have always been about that roller coaster ride of building up the emotions through those elements,” Bart says, “so by utilizing the elements of film making and placing them within the horror genre created the chilling world of Nicolas Bertram in VINDICATION.” Vindication is completed and is now awaiting major film festival circuiting for 2009. On Saturday, Dec 13, 2008, the cast and crew screened Vindication to a packed house. After the screening Mr. Clive Barker, personally spoke via speaker phone to congratulate the cast and crew of the movie. Upon seeing the movie, Mr. Clive Barker is fully supporting the film to see proper distribution.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.”

“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
