WHAT IS BLUE NOVEMBER CREATIONS?
Blue November [Creations] is a neo-universe expansion. It is an eccentric array of dreams and reality. Time and space shift, back and forth, at the hands of the wayward Captain. The sails are filled with flickering light, the ambiance of sound, and the ink-stained chronicles of the imagination. This endless sea of starlit wonder forms the foundation for the words, music, and moving pictures that reside in the mystic realm of the Cosmic Continuum. The visionary dreamer never sleeps on the celestial sea.
Simply stated, Blue November Creations is the foundation for all creative endeavor under the command of Captain Chambers. Although he is primarily a filmmaker and director, he is a writer, poet and a lyricist with the ambition of performing music. Creativity is the focus of BNC, and the inner force that drives Captain Chambers, himself.
WHO IS CAPTAIN CHAMBERS?
Captain Chambers is an auteur, one who believes in his own vision and the vision of the individual spirit. He has been [seriously] shooting film for approximately twelve years, although his first work was created as early as 1993. His format of choice is Super 8mm motion picture film, yet he has delved into the duality of both analog and digital video. His first creations were experiments involving stop-motion and black and white cinematography. Ultimately, he would begin writing and directing short narratives such as “This Way and That” in 2001, but it would be 2003 before the Captain would see his first finished project, the shot-on-video short film, “Adam and Yvette”. This became a benchmark for his continuing thirst for the cinematic elixir of free-roaming thought.
Adam Shea Chambers is Captain Chambers. He is a creature of Autumn, moonlight and ocean. A tranquil spirit, he lives by breathing the decay and miracle that is his individual creative soul. The Captain is a captive of November, the various shades of blue and the taunting promise of written and composed words; he blinks at 18 frames per second.
"Hello! My name is Captain Chambers. I am the Founder and Director of Blue November Creations as well as the Blue November MicroFilmFest. Ever since I was a child, I was a daydreamer. My imagination propelled me into new scenes, pushed beyond the stars, flying further than anyone has ever seen. As I grew older, I never let that spirit go.
I am a filmmaker, a musician, a writer and a poet. I am a thinker, a tinkerer, a wanderer with questions, and I am a sailor. My sails are filled with flickering light, the ambience of sound, & the ink-stained chronicles of the imagination.
As a poet, I tell my story. As a writer, I create the story. As a musician, I communicate. As a filmmaker, I paint with celluloid brushstrokes upon a flickering canvas. I am the creater, I am the dreamer, and this is my story..."

**********************************************************
NEWS: I have come to a serious stage where I am unable to fund projects. Although I know this is temporary, it has halted many of my productions for present time. It does not cost anything to meet, talk, plan or let the gentle rumble of our imaginations romanticize about future possibility. Please contact me if you are interested in creating art thru film - I may be dormant, for the moment, but that only means I have not chosen a new direction!
**********************************************************
I am a free-spirited, on-the-fly DIY filmmaker in the Seattle area. My films and my production style reflect what true independent filmmaking is about - creating art however and wherever you can. I work on projects where time and finances allow; I shoot Super 8mm and Regular 8mm film, as well as 8mm video.
I have decided to delay my next feature film, "Asphalt Canvas", until next year or beyond. For those who are still interested in this project, please stay tuned. I am currently pursuing several projects, and I will post these as they are set into motion. The following projects are set for 2009:
"Solid" - the final scenes will be shot, and cast extras will be required.
Short Films - I plan on shooting no less than five short films this year, perhaps more. I will need many people for various reasons, so contact me if interested. I will also post casting calls as well.
Music Videos - as time allows.
All projects will be non-paid, but credit and a copy of the work will be provided. If anyone desires to contact me for specifics or further information, please review my website or contact me: captain*at*blue-november.com. Thank you!
