Smart Carbon Productions is the brainchild of the Friedman Brothers, namely Barry Friedman and Andy Friedman...that's me. Barry, now a second year film student at USC, on track for a career in the film industry, is doing everything from editing to writing and directing. Right now, he's got the 24-P camera, the director's chair, and mad video editing skills. I'm a theoretical astrophysicist by trade, so what the hell am I doing making films, you might ask? Well, that's a reasonable question. I guess my answer is, "Why the hell not?". So far, I've been a scriptwriter, logo and website designer, semi-producer, and an actor, in the four films we've made together so far, "Lucidity" (July 2005), "Solipsisn't" (2003), "System Busy" (Feb 2002), and "Misfortune" (July 2002). I also make a brief cameo in "31" (2001), a film made by Barry Friedman, as do 30 others...It's really cool. The most recent film, Lucidity, may be entered in a future American Film Institute (AFI) contest.
Eventually we'll make the films accessible through this site, along with other films made by Barry Friedman.
