Brian Lonano Presents “B.F.F. Girls”

Brian Lonano, a filmmaker on the rise, while still receiving accolades on his latest SXSW Short Film, “Gwilliam,” is busy creating his next piece, “B.F.F. Girls.”

After SXSW, Brian received a fully sponsored Panasonic Varicam rental for his award-winning short, so he put it to use and shot his camera test and “practical VFX.” He teamed up with Josh Skierski, Robert Lieberman, Peter Fodero, Toniet Gallego, Nick Hood, and Kevin Daniel Lonano to shoot on the sound stage here at Moonshine Post.

“BFF Girls looks and feels like an anime, though it happens to be live-action. The acting gets the off-the-wall tone pitch-perfect, reinforced by the stellar art, costume, and production design. The directing is sleek and the writing quite humorous….”
— Film Threat

And finally my costume design sketches came to life. #bffgirls #robothand #moonshinepost #marilynchung #lovemywork ????????????✨✨✨
