Local movie maker's film wins at
festival
Director D.J. Summitt's short film,
"Clarinet," won the El Sol award for Best Video at the Baja
California International Film Festival recently.
Summitt, a
Lexington native, was on hand at the Center for Culture in Tijuana,
Mexico, to accept the award.
"Clarinet" is Summitt's second
film. His first, "Doomed to Failure," will be released on DVD by
Troma Entertainment in December. "Clarinet" is also his first film
with longtime friend Zac Hayes. The two met Central Davidson High
School, where they began writing scripts and studying films. Hayes
lives in Lexington, where he is working on writing the duo's next
feature film.
"Clarinet" is an introspective piece about a
man who, after the theft of his clarinet, allies himself with a
world of nihilism and angst.
After graduation from film
school, Summitt moved to San Diego to pursue his film career. He is
preparing to shoot his next film; a horror trilogy, titled "The
Manhattan Love Suicides."
