The Trial of Jack

Short 3-D Film –
Produced, Written, Directed & Edited by Shari Berman

The Trial of Jack is from an imagined era of film history. It combines the style of the Expressionists of the late 1920s with the technology of the late 1950s to create “3-D Expressionism”. This motion picture is a “just-so” story about a Jack-in-the-box in which a doll named Jack believes his stardom puts him above the law. However, the other toys in the playroom have different ideas.

This award-winning film played at over 30 festivals worldwide including The Rhode Island International Film Festival, The St. Louis International Film Festival, The Sarasota International Film Festival, The New Cinema and Technology Film Festival, The Northampton Film Festival and the Reel Women Film Festival

 Fun fact: Shari originally wrote this story intending for it to be a children’s book but then she saw The Cabinet of Dr. Kilgari and decided that it needed to be the first 3-D Expressionist film because that would be very marketable…
