About the Film

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

writer and director, Tucker Pearson, began film school at New York University Tisch School of the Arts in the Fall of 2013. Tucker created a script in an intro to writing class his first semester that eventually, through many restarts and rewrites, would become the ‘The Off Season’. Tucker’s unique love for the island of Nantucket and its stories would soon become the passion of (Producer) Max Worrin and (Director of Photography) Tsubasa Matsumoto too.

In the Fall of 2015, ‘The Off Season’ would be approved for production the following January. With a cast of two and a crew of twenty, the film was shot on location over the course of a week, in brutal wind and bitter cold. However, this week would go down as Tucker’s, and many of his peer’s favorite week of filmmaking to date.

Following production, Tucker and (Editor) Bill Chen would complete the film in Cape Town, South Africa; along with (Sound Designer) Liam Pitcher. An original score would be composed by Allan Chen; as well as another original song, written and recored by Wilson Sadowski, Sophia Darby, and Lea Seares in New York City.

In June 2018, ‘The Off Season’ would make its official premiere at the Nantucket Film Festival with a sold-out audience.
