Block HH, Hollywood, California
Directed by award-winning filmmaker C.G. Ryche in association with SEED School of the Arts, the film brings together Ryche's distinctive cinematic style, musical background and signature approach to visual storytelling.
“For me, Saving Cedar is an homage to one of my favorite writer-directors, John Hughes, and the films I grew up loving, movies that made you laugh, but also had something real to say about growing up, friendship and figuring out who you are,” said Ryche. “I wanted to capture some of that spirit with Saving Cedar.
“Just as important to me was giving these young actors the chance to experience what it’s really like to make a movie. For some of them, it was their first time on a real film set, working with a professional crew and seeing everything that goes into bringing a story to life. I wanted them to have that experience, have fun with it, learn from it and hopefully walk away even more excited about pursuing their dreams.”
Saving Cedar represents the latest chapter in his narrative filmmaking work as he continues developing future feature-film projects.
