Towson filmmaker determined to make his MakeBelieve a reality Dave Foster The Towerlight For aspiring writer and direc-tor Mike Flanagan, career choice was never a question. The Tow-son junior is currently raising money so he can make his first feature film, titled MakeBelieve. ""MakeBelieve started in my dorm room,"" Flanagan said. ""It came from real events in my life and the lives of my friends. I wanted to do a movie that real-istically portrays college stu-dents. I'm sick of the images presented by films today."" Flanagan plans to shoot the film on campus next summer during the first three weeks of June. The film will star Towson students, and will be produced by Towson film professor, Steve Yeager. For Flanagan, the journey to MakeBelieve started early. ""It was very clear by the time I was four years old I was going to do something with film. I was directing kids in my neighbor-hood to do little plays,"" he said. When he was old enough to work a video camera, Flana-gan's plays quickly became movies. He wrote, directed and starred in his first film. ""It was a funny, childish re�telling of The Untouchables that I did when I was 10. But we had music, sound effects and overlapping dialogue even then."" Movies remained a primary interest in Flanagan's life as he grew up. He became heavily involved in his high school's TV program and a number of video�related school fundrais-ers. However, movie making remained a hobby. Flanagan planned to attend Loyola Col-lege after graduation and become a teacher. ""I think of it as fate. I didn't get enough money to go to Loy-ola so I said 'I might as well go ... follow my dream,"" Flanagan said. Flanagan quickly proved his passion for film making with his first project his freshman year. College Gothic was a frightening ""MakeBelieve started in my dorm room. I wanted to do a movie that realistically portrays college students. I'm sick of the images presented by films today."" Mike Flanagan re�telling of an urban legend. ""I took an intro. to film class with Barry Moore. He said, 'Make a three minute film.' I did 10. He said, 'Spend $10.' I spent $50. And we snagged the award for it too,"" Flanagan said. College Gothic won first place in the Introduction to Film cate-gory of Towson University's '96 Film Festival. Flanagan again won first place in the '97 Film Festival, this time in the music video category with I'd Die With-out You. He also won an honor-able mention in the experimetal category with Tides. Yeager, a recent Sundance Film Festival winner, remem-bers when he first met Flanagan. ""I took over one of Steve Weiss' classes last fall,"" Yeager said. ""I showed these kids movies like Clerks and everyone got excited. I told them, 'You can do this. You can all make fea-tures. Let me know what you need and I'll help you all I can.' That was the challenge,"" Yeager said. ""Mike was the one who came forward."" Flanagan had recently com-pleted a 160 page movie script for MakeBelieve. Along with Towson film professor, Greg Fowler, it was cut down to 120 in an independent study course over the last six months. ""There is no question in my mind that by the time Mike is 21, he'll have made his first fea-ture,"" Yeager said. ""[Yeager] said I better make it my mission in life to make it a film and shoot for Sundance 2,000. He offered to sign on as a producer,"" Flanagan said. Next the film had to be cast. ""The casting process was gru-eling,"" Flanagan said. ""We audi-tioned a lot of the Towson the-ater majors. The finalists were selected by me. The final deci-sions were made by Yeager."" The actors and actresses that made the final cut include mass communication major, Natalie Roers, and theater majors, Jamie Sinsz, Zak Jeffries, Megan Anderson and Chris Cridler. The entire cast was enthusias-tic about the project, and bub-bling with words of praise for both script and director. ""Mike's a great director,"" Jef-fries said. ""He really knows what he's doing."" Flanagan echoes the same See FILM, page 24 Korean dance to grace Towson Sonia Luthold The Towerlight The Baltimore premiere of the In�Young Sohn Dance Compa-ny of New York, a Korean tradi-tional dance and music compa-ny, will take place tomorrow at the Stephens Hall Theatre. The In�Young Sohn Dance Co. is unique in the way it combines the ancient and traditional com-ponents of Korean and modern dance with beautiful and intriguing results. The dancers are graceful and elegant in their movements and, as is usual with Korean dance, each movement is symbolic. They represent elements from Korean history, ranging from old court dances to dances corn-posed for royalty. Although the company uses traditional Korean costume and dance, more modern elements are also represented. The pro-gram to be per-formed at Towson includes several cre-ative modern dances with original themes. In�Young Sohn has a history of graceful perfor-mances. Their first performance was in 1991 at the National Theater in Seoul, Korea. The company made its New York debut in '96 at the American Museum of Natural History. Since then, the company has per-formed throughout the Northeast, and received a very favorable reception. Info: (410) 830-2787. Korean dance company focuses on grace.
