Production Info

"Easton's Article" was built on the pennies and kindness of a community who believe in independent filmmakers. Through a combined effort of letters to friends/family along with a Kickstarter.com campaign championed by the people of Dubuque, IA, the production was successfully funded in November 2010. The full production took a total of 21 days in a blizzard-filled Iowa December, warmed by a small but spirited cast and crew. Shot on the industry renowned digital Red One camera, the production used the scenic beauty of the bluff filled tri-state area as its backdrop utilizing key locations that included Town Clock Plaza, The Mississippi River Museum, 4th Street Elevator, Air Lines Inn Motel, and the gorgeous hiking trails of the Mines of Spain.

Press Excerpts

“It was extremely nerve wracking,” Connery said, adding that he preferred to watch audience members, rather than his own work. “It's just like this energy. You can feel how people are reacting to it. That's really rewarding — to see people jumping out of their seats.”

“Like the main character of his first feature film, Tim Connery returned to Dubuque County for answers. The 25-year-old, East Dubuque native is eager to learn what will come of “Easton’s Article,” a film he wrote, directed and produced after graduating from Columbia College School of Film in Chicago.”
