Local Prairie Village Filmmaker & JCCC Animation Film “Siri Sail Tail” named Official Selection in Kansas City Film Fest

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Prairie Village, KS – (April 14, 2016) Local radio disc jockey & filmmaker Kyle Kristofer VanLanduyt’s short film “Siri Sail Tail” is an official selection in the Kansas City Film Fest (KCFF) and will be premiering this Thursday, April 14th during the Heartland Student Shorts segment of the KCFF from 8:35pm – 9:45pm at Cinemark Plaza At The Plaza in theater #6, 526 Nicholas Road, Kansas City, MO 64112.

VanLanduyt is completing his degree in Animation-Entertainment and Game Art Design at Johnson County Community College and has completed his short film “Siri Sail Tail” as his Capstone project for the degree. “Integration of both digital assets and backgrounds within storytelling is now the norm in the industry. Even though it is easier in some cases to use digital rather than actual location shoots, props or people, we must remain vigilant and true to story without breaking continuity or suspension of disbelief,” said Kyle VanLanduyt.

The short film is a science fiction comedy and digital effects project utilizing animation and live action to tell the story. “Siri Sail Tail” stars local Prairie Village residents Dan Andersen, Rod Atteberry, Ricardo Garcia, Kyle Kristofer, Skye VanLanduyt & Kaylee Miller & was produced by Anderson & Sarah VanLanduyt & directed by Kyle Kristofer VanLanduyt.

Siri Sail Tail is the story of a squadron aboard an aircraft carrier receiving a directive to use automatic targeting systems only. An unidentified target is located on radar. The alert aircraft is launched to intercept the target on its maiden test flight with the new targeting system and encounters problems.
