Video: Ron Howard talks about selecting Broken Arrow photographer Chris Wehner’s image for “Project Imagin8ion”
Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, who was born in Duncan, has selected the eight winners in his “Project Imagin8ion”collaboration with Canon U.S.A., Inc., and Broken Arrow photographer Chris Wehner is among the victors.
Launched on May 22, photographers of all levels were invited to submit their most imaginative photographs based on a series of eight separate movie themes, each one a core tenet of storytelling, to ultimately inspire Howard’s upcoming short film. The “Project Imagin8ion” film will be directed by Howard’s daughter, actress Bryce Dallas Howard. The eight winning photographs were picked from 96,362 submissions and can be seen at www.youtube.com/imagination.
Titled “Yea, Though I Walk,” Wehner’s striking photo of a gate at Tulsa’s Memorial Park Cemetery has been picked in the obstacle category. The winning images in each category — setting, character, mood, time, goal, relationship, obstacle and the unknown — came from across the country.
Wehner’s striking photo of “Our final obstacle — the entry gate to the hereafter,” as he described it, earned lavish praise from the Academy Award-winning helmer of “A Beautiful Mind.” Ron Howard talks about Wehner’s winning photo in this YouTube video.
