Ed Carapezza sees some similarities between his former career in construction and his current turn as a filmmaker.
The 42-year-old CSU Monterey Bay student debuts his film "Project Artaud" at tonight's Teledramatic Arts and Technology (TAT) department Capstone Festival.
The event is scheduled for 6 tonight at CSUMB's World Theater, 100 Campus Center No. 28, Seaside.
Carapezza previously worked as a project manager in the construction industry. He enrolled at CSUMB after the recession left him jobless.
He said directing a film is like managing a job site.
"I'm good at managing crews and people," said Carapezza, a Carmel High School graduate. "It's a lot of deadlines and execution."
"Project Artaud" is a six-minute film that examines the San Francisco artistic commune of the same name. Carapezza interviewed artists to understand what it's like living in an artistic environment.
The short film is meant as the first chapter in a full-length documentary titled "Recycled Vision." The film revolves around California artistic communities .
Other projects screening tonight are "Monterey Meltdown" by Tara Diego. The film is a comical stop-motion animation news broadcast exploring the effects of drought in California and the Monterey Bay.
The documentary "Derby" by Dominic Parisi will also be screened. The film explores the local women's roller derby scene.
Parisi won the 2010 Monterey Film Commission scholarship award. Prize money went toward the film's production.
