Описание: Interview with Jeremy Evan Taylor about "Security Plan" Nominated for the Best Drama Film Award at Texas Short Film Festival Summer 2022. Security Plan, Directed by Jeremy Evan Taylor (Oregon) Winner of the Best Director Award at Oregon Short Film Festival Summer 2021. #filmfestivalcircuit

Synopsis - A man who recently got out of jail makes a late-night visit to his brother's business to discuss a plan to get his life back on track.

Director's Statement: The original idea for Security Plan came from watching Sidney Lumet's final film, Before The Devil Knows You're Dead. In the movie, the two desperate brothers conspire to rob their parents' jewelry store. I believe in the old saying that as an actor, it's important not to judge your character's morals and to ask yourself what you would do under the extreme circumstances of the script. I started thinking about what would happen if I was a desperate single dad and my more successful brother ratted me out and contributed to sending me to jail. Then I find out that he's been doing illegal activity himself and get offered a deal to wear a hidden camera for an FBI sting. The story kind of evolved from there.

I was very fortunate that my wife at the time's aunt and uncle own an electrical wire facility in Portland that I could use for the location of the successful brother's security business. Later, after moving back to Central Oregon, I completed principal shooting in Bend at a privately owned hot tub servicing company that my childhood friend works for. I also was extremely lucky to find a song through a Google search with a tone and lyrics that seem tailor-made for the film. Steve Kaul, the leader of the band, The Brass Kings, was very gracious in letting me use the song. Local musician, Colten Tyler Williams volunteered his time to do the score in the middle.
