Filmsters Academy Short Film 'Good Luck Kid' Shoots in Annapolis

The Advanced Team of students at Filmsters Academy Summer Camp has wrapped shooting on their newest short film, “Good Luck Kid.” In this dramatic narrative film, a young man nearing the end of his shift at a diner encounters a mysterious woman with much more to her than meets the eye.

The film is based on the true experiences of lead actor Will Brady. One year ago, Brady’s brother passed away, and this year he experienced a strange encounter with a woman who eerily reminded him of his late brother. “It’s crazy to see my experience become a film,” says Brady. “But playing the starring role is even crazier. I hope to honor my brother’s memory by telling this story.”

Good Luck Kid is directed by Julian Cividanes, and produced by Luca Brewer, Mason Standish, and Hayden Lamb. The film stars Brady, Jason Bobbitt, and Rae’l Ba.

At Filmsters Academy, students work with a supervising staff and industry professionals over the course of two weeks to create short films. The film was shot entirely in Annapolis over a single weekend on a Red Epic camera.

According to Cividanes, a first-time director, “When I first heard Will’s pitch, I remember hanging on to every word that he was saying…and I remember just how much I wanted to be a part of telling this story. It’s my hope that audiences who see Good Luck Kid will be able to feel just as riveted as I was.”

Good Luck Kid is a production made possible by Filmsters Academy, founded by Lee Anderson and Patti White, who serve as executive producers on this film. A free screening of Good Luck Kid and other Filmsters Academy shorts will be held on Friday, August 10th, 2018, at 7pm at The Key School. This film will be submitted for screening to film festivals around the country, including the Annapolis Film Festival, in 2019.
