Yates House Studios
The Change

When a single mother believes a monster has stolen her baby and replaced him with a changeling, her own innocence and sanity are called into question.

The Change is an upcoming feature film from Yates House Studios to be shot and finished on Kodak 35mm, including a traditional photochemical finish. This analog approach will extend to the prosthetics, animatronics and other practical effects captured in camera as well.

The Change is written and will be directed by Daniel Berube. Previously, he wrote, directed, produced and edited the short “One-Half World,” which premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival and can be seen here. The film is based on a short story by Jason Shepherd. All of the artwork for the film, including the illustrations for Pirate Mary and the Very Scary Fairy (a children's storybook from the world of The Change) is by Eric October.

Proof of Concept Trailer
Last September, we adapted several scenes from The Change into a no-budget trailer. We shot it on 16mm Kodak film using a Bolex camera, and finished it digitally. Thanks to Echo Park Film Center and Wooden Nickel Lighting for the use of their equipment, and to FotoKem for processing the footage and transferring it to HD.
