Ridgewood-based filmmakers Daniel Shapiro and Alex Topaller have made videos for Pharrell Williams and Michael Jackson. They’ve made commercials for Ford, Bloomberg and Beech-Nut.
Now they’re claiming the privilege familiar to all Christmas shoppers who’ve ever bought themselves a little present while in the store for others. “She Wolf,” their first narrative film, is a little something for themselves.
“We do a lot of music videos, we do a lot of commercials, and at some point we wanted to shoot something creative, something for ourselves,” says Shapiro, a Hawthorne resident, whose 18-minute film will be screened as part of the New Jersey Film Festival at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. The festival begins Sept. 11.
The 7 p.m. Oct. 5 screening of “She Wolf” will be at Voorhees Hall No. 105, 71 Hamilton St., New Brunswick: one of several locations where more than 30 films — shorts and features, from far-out experimental to near-mainstream — will be screened this fall. Shapiro and Topaller will both be present at the screening to answer questions.
