Duncan-born two-time Academy Award winner Ron Howard and his actor/filmmaker daughter Bryce Dallas Howard premiered their film inspired by Canon's multiplatform “Long Live Imagination” campaign to the public starting Friday on YouTube. The 24-minute film will be on view at www.youtube.com/imagination until Monday.
“When You Find Me” is considered the first Hollywood film in history to be based on eight independently contributed photographs, selected from nearly 100,000 submissions in the “Project Imagin8ion” contest, according to a news release. The short film tells the story of two sisters who deal with a childhood tragedy in different ways.
“Yea, Though I Walk,” a striking photo of a gate at Tulsa's Memorial Park Cemetery taken by Broken Arrow photographer Chris Wehner, was one of the winning photographs that inspired the Howards in the making of the “Project Imagin8ion” film.
In May, Ron Howard and Canon U.S.A. launched “Project Imagin8ion,” inviting photographers of all skill and age levels to submit their most imaginative pictures in eight different categories, each representing a core tenet of storytelling.
The winning images in each category — setting, character, mood, time, goal, relationship, obstacle and the unknown — came from across the country and were used to inspire the film, which Howard produced and his daughter directed.
Wehner entered the “Project Imagin8ion” competition after seeing TV commercials for it. He submitted four photos in various categories but thought his cemetery gate image was ideal for the obstacle division.
“Looking through the thousands of amazing photos that were uploaded from people all over the country, it was kind of daunting trying to figure out where your pictures fit in,” he told me in an interview back in August. “I felt pretty good about that one, but honestly not so good that I thought I'd win.”
Wehner and the other winning photographers, along with Ron Howard, the film's producer, and Bryce Dallas Howard, the film's director, attended the short film's official premiere Nov. 15 at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
