Recently BarkingPixel.com, was hired to create a movie poster for Leaves of the Tree, A GOGI PRODUCTION filmed in Houston, TX and Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily. Adapted from the book “Kindness for the Damned” written by D.J. Healey, Directed by Ante Novakovic and starring Eric Roberts, Sean Young, Federico Castelluccio, Kresh Novakovic, Marisa Brown, Armand Assante and introducing Sarah Sebastiana.
The poster was created entirely from pictures taken during the filming and merged together to create background and foreground elements. Because there was not a straight-on shot of Eric Roberts available, and a reshoot was not possible, his photo is made up of several different images. By manipulating the existing photos, we were able to “turn” him to face forward.
Leaves of the Tree is currently making it’s way through international film festivals to sold out screenings. Currently is has been awarded: Best Dramatic Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Actor (Eric Roberts) and is nominated for: Best Feature Film, Best Director (Feature), Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Supporting Actor (Federico Castelluccio and Best Editing.
