New work: Rico con Amor, a film short by my brother Jacob Wilhelmi.

Filmed five years ago (!) and then put aside due to time constraints, the project was only recently revisited and completed in December of 2011. I worked with Jake in the final stages, doing the intertitles, color editing & effects. (I also branded his filmmaker identity Alwayseldom a while back) Rico con Amor was my first time working in Final Cut, and I’m already looking forward to the next project.

Jake came up with the idea while driving on a long stretch of highway. He was listening to Pink Martini’s classic album Sympathique, and when Andalucia came on, the silent-era scenario played out in front of him, and he quickly had to jot it down. A fun project, done out of love for the silent-era greats and Pink Martini’s music, we hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
