Hard Work Has Paid off for Filmmaker Soma Helmi, Editor Gillian Hutshing, Their Collaboration Ark, Has Just Dropped on Dust and Is Receiving Sensational Reviews.

Reviews From YouTube:


“What science fiction should be…a human story. Awesome!”

“Brilliant pacing. The lengthy beats between each line of dialogue kept me excited for the next development, and the conversation didn’t mince words. Every beat had its payoff. Fantastic acting, and showed off what a quality sci-fi production can do with next to zero special effects. Loved this one.”

“The Camera angles, The Lighting, The Mood and Expression, The actors… It’s Perfect.”

“Another amazing short movie…so much well acted….impressive. Mark Stevens mentioned how she snaps back to her Captain role, that was so well done. Congrats
Actors and Director.”

🏆 2 DOLLARS-Wins 2nd Audience Favorite Award, Female Voices Rock Film Festival 2020

December 10, 2020

2 DOLLARS the film WINS its second Audience Favorite Award, this time at the 2020 Female Voices Rock Film Festival. Director Robin Cloud and editor Gillian Hutshing are pleased to be recognized for this edgy workplace comedy, produced by AFI Films.

Much anticipated docuseries, BOSTON GEORGE hires skilled editor Gillian Hutshing to the project.

Boston George,” a docu-series about notorious drug smuggler and Weymouth native George Jung, is being produced by Georgette Angelos and Chris Chesson under C2G Productions, a company they formed late last year for the project. Angelos said she convinced Jung, who was shopping around for someone to produce his documentary, to work with her after promising to give his story an authentic telling rather than the Hollywood treatment it received in “Blow,” the 2001 movie in which actor Johnny Depp portrayed Jung.

“We’re bringing out the truth of it, so everybody knows exactly what happened and why,” she said.

Production for the series began late last year but was quickly complicated by Jung’s return to jail for probation violations a month after he signed over the rights to his life story to Angelos and Chesson. His first sit-down interview with the documentary crew was conducted from behind glass at the Sacramento County Jail.

The crew has filmed in locations in California and Massachusetts and has plans for shoots in Florida, Mexico and Columbia, depending on what Jung’s probation officer allows.

In Weymouth, the crew filmed Jung as he visited with residents of his old street in North Weymouth, talked with a member of the Weymouth Historical Society about the area’s history and reminisced about his childhood with a former teammate on the Weymouth high football team.
