Behind the Scenes with 'The Last Passport': A Director's Journey

Kent Smith and Dave Temple, the talented directors behind the award-winning film "The Last Passport," were always drawn to stories with a heart. So when they came across the script for "The Last Passport," they knew they had to bring it to life.

The film tells the story of George, an old man who enters a magical passport office, known as Purgatory. As he meets characters from all walks of life, he dispenses his homespun wisdom, leaving a lasting impression on each of them.

The film was shot in just three days and the entire story was written, shot, edited, and scored in just 30 days, all with a budget of just $5,000. Despite the limitations, the film premiered at the Solstice Film Festival in Minneapolis, Minnesota where it won Best Actor (Jimmy Hager) and Best Director (Kent Smith and David Temple) in 2009.

The whole process was recorded and streamed live to the internet, allowing over 10,000 people to watch from the comfort of their own homes. The crew was made up of mainly locals from the Charlotte, N.C. area, and the film has since been shown to film students at universities across the country, serving as an inspiration for low-budget filmmaking.

For Kent and Dave, "The Last Passport" was a passion project that brought together their love for storytelling and their belief in the power of cinema. The film's message of hope, resilience, and the impact of small acts of kindness still resonates with audiences today, making it a timeless classic that continues to inspire and uplift.

In the end, "The Last Passport" is a testament to the power of creativity and determination, proving that even with limited resources, a talented team of filmmakers can create something truly special.
