Shearl Purcell's Reel

“THE HYPNOTIST” tells the story of Marius the Magnificent. As a young man Marius struck out on his own, leaving his Master to create his own path to fame and fortune... Shearl:"After assisting Michael Marchetti with art direction for Fragmented, I came on as art director for his project, The Hypnotist. It put all of my hard work to the test, beautiful locations, expansive ideas, I really enjoyed it. I even got my younger sister (a budding artist) to assist me in the art direction."

dir. George Mills. Shearl: "I became a part of this film after talking with the Best Girl, Kelly Croke, they were looking for an assistant art director, assistant to Michael Marchetti. Another amazing cast and crew set, and I got to work with so many familiar faces in the most professional student film set I've ever been in. Beautiful."

'Through the Door' is a short, psychological thriller shot in late 2011. After being on the back burner for a while, it'll finally premiere at the 2013 Garden State Film Festival in April. Shearl: "This started as a small personal project of my friend, Matt Zimel. He explained to me the concept in one of our rambling brainstorming sessions, and the story was so intriguing and mysterious. What started out only as producer help turned into me doing steadicam work, assistant directing, art direction, and a 31hr post production edit marathon. It was awesome."

Shearl: "I was an A.D. and line producer for this project. It was the most immersive and challenging project, and I still have fond memories of being apart of the crazy and fun that was shooting I Want it, Bad"
