Slamdance co-founder shoots feature film on Panasonic camcorder

Los Angeles-based independent filmmaker and Slamdance Film Festival Co-founder Dan Mirvish recently wrapped principal photography on his new feature film 'Open House.'
The feature, a real-estate musical, is one of the first to be shot with Panasonic's AG-DVX100 24P DV Cinema Camcorder.
Open House follows a larcenous group of people as they make their way through a series of real-estate open houses on a Sunday afternoon. The film is based in part on a short that Mirvish produced last year as part of the Seattle Film Festival's Fly Filmmaker series. The project was produced by director Mirvish and Stephen Israel under their respective Bugeater Films and Neofight Film banners. Mirvish co-wrote the screenplay with Lawrence Maddox. Yasu Tanida was Director of Photography, with Joshua Tunick serving as second camera operator and second unit director.
Panasonic's AG-DVX100 offers entirely new features and price performance levels, and is carefully engineered to give shooters a single camcorder that captures in 60i to acquire standard video projects and in 24p to add the 'look and feel' of film to their productions.
