Filmmaker

In 2005 Dreamcatcher Entertainment was created to produce my first short film “Angst” about a teenage boy having a rough day. Since completing “Angst” Dreamcatcher Entertainment has gone on to produce the award winning short “Trial by fire” and the documentary “Ride to Remember”. The collaborative film making process has united Bill with songwriters Bethanie Yeakle, who created original music for “Angst” and Scott Ainslie who created the score for “Trial by Fire” and Bill Esses, who sweetened the sound on the documentary, “Ride to Remember”. We completed the feature documentary “Being Nimble” (2011) about 18 people from around the world training at the New England Center for Circus Arts to become professional circus performers. We are currently in post-production on the short film “Darwin’s Dream a collaboration with the extraordinary Mime Mario Diamond. We are also developing “Dream Catchers (interviews), “Sing for your supper” (food/travel/variety), “Making the list” (circus reality), “Flatlanders” (dramatic/comedy), and “Cirque US” (drama) Television projects.

Darwin's Dream (2013)

International Mime, Mario Diamond, and Award winning filmmaker, Bill Forchion, join forces to create an epic flight of fantasy. The hero, played by Mario Diamond, embarks on a journey blurring the lines between dream and reality with the bite of an apple. The Hero's journey encompasses love and loss and the evolution of man brought to cinematic life by the camera work of student filmmaker Lee Williams under the direction of Bill Forchion. Darwin's Dream is an epic journey through the mind of an ordinary man which leads him on the journey of a lifetime.
