'U' gra
thriller
(Continued from Page 1)
Although Fortescue has read over a
couple of screen plays, he says an
immediate film career depends on the
success of "The Carrier." He admits
that financial success isn't the film's
goal.
The production team was motivated
by the simple desire to see the screen
play made into a movie, not to make a
profit, he said.
"OUT OF 256 movies produced last
year, only 25 made a profit," he said,
adding that there are plans to take the
movie to the Cannes Film Festival
in France.
It's an unpretentious beginning.
The office of Swan Productions,
which was formed a year ago, con-
sists of a few rooms in a converted
house on North Main Street.
The main room is messy and
crowded by tables and a copier. Two
fighting monster masks stare down
from their lofty perch atop a high
shelf.
RUTH JESSUP, the production
coordinator who graduated from the
University last spring with a general
studies degree, became involved with
the film company through a friend.
She is now in charge of calling the
cast, taking care of the equipment
pick up, and generally making sure
things run smoothly.
And, if everything runs smoothly, this
$600,000 budget movie might open at
the Michigan Theater, Jessup said.
