After working together in 2010 on the music video “Favorite Song,” filmmaker Matt Kaiser and Jake Elsas (of Seven-Minute Cinemas) finally completed principle photography on Matt’s autobiographical documentary Adopted. After two years of capturing extremely emotionally charged footage, postproduction has begun; Matt intends to complete cutting visuals by summer 2013.
Adopted as a baby, Matt spent most of his life content — rarely questioning his situation or whether he should connect with his biological parents. Until recently…
In Matt’s words:
“In this documentary we will be taking a close look at how my sister’s adoption affected her life, as well as the lives of her birth mother, and our parents. When looking at my sister’s experience, I will be deciding whether or not I should follow her example, and try to connect with my own birth parents.”
