"Wild Tigers I Have Known"
Gaining attention after his short "Bobbycrush" screened at Sundance
in 2004, 24-year-old Cam Archer is preparing for his first feature.
After years of making films in his bedroom without a script and using
his friends and family as actors and crew, Archer decided to sit down
and write a script for the first time. "I didn't want to just have a
bunch of notes and call up my D.P. and find some kids and shoot,"
says Archer. "I actually wanted to go about this a bit more
legitimately." With that thinking, Archer submitted the script to the
Sundance Screenwriting Lab and was accepted. "I really feel like they
turned my script around and I think I have a great script now."
This coming of age story follows Logan, a junior high student, who's
trying to figure out his place in the world. "It's that kind of
adolescent stage where you start to get this weird confidence because
you're doing things by yourself but at the same time you're totally
not shaped at all. You're lost."
Along with getting tips from the pros at Sundance, Archer also found
a mentor in Gus Van Sant. After sending him some of his shorts a year
and a half ago, Van Sant saw promise in Archer's work and has since
agreed to be an executive producer on "Tigers." "I've asked him
questions about producers and working with kids," says Archer. "He
did this with 'Tarnation', he did this with 'Kids', he understands
the importance of these small movies. I think he appreciates someone
who's so caught up in their vision that no one is going to stop them
from doing it."
Archer is currently casting, predominantly around his hometown of
Santa Cruz, CA, where he hopes to film. He will begin shooting in the
summer.
