"SONGS AND SECRETS"

Songs and Secrets is a Film by Sherri Z. Heller with assistance from Capital Films Arts Alliance (CFAA) Micro-Film Initiative part of the Screenwriting Lab. Circle B Productions stepped up to help our Inner Circle Dear Friend Sherri Z. Heller with her movie, which was 40 years in the making. Olivia Montgomery Bull handled a large amount of Post Production at the Circle B Productions studio.

The Circle B asset library includes functional cars, cottages, modern homes, commercial buildings, even entire towns with trees that blow in the wind. The Circle B visual effects (VFX) library is also extensive, along with an ample collection of LUTs, overlays, customizable royalty-free music, and sound effects - everything needed for film post-production, whether the film is live action or animated.

The flexibility this library offers has made it possible for Circle B Productions to contribute VFX to other productions, most recently a student project in conjunction with Capital Film Arts Alliance. Sherri Z. Heller’s Songs & Secrets was written and directed by Heller with mentorship from Olivia, Todd, and Dawn Spinella, who is a well known and respected filmmaker in the Sacramento region.

Songs & Secrets features a virtual kitchen as the set for the second half of the 8-minute film. Circle B’s virtual set is nearly indistinguishable from the live props in front of it. Lighting, camera angles and the camera focus of the background all complement and meld with the live action.
