You may recently have picked up the phone recently to hear, “Hi. My name is Alex Goyette. I am producing a feature-length film over the summer. In the script there is a scene that takes place at aŠ” Fill in the blank with one of 15 to 20 different locations the film will need. Goyette polished his pitch for access to locations while making some 200 calls. The 16-year-old Mercer Island High School student is spending the summer making a movie. His ambition was a 90-minute feature-length film, but a tight budget has shortened it to about 45 minutes. The 10 people working on the project began shooting “The Safe” a few weeks ago. They include Mercer Island teens Tate Howard, Garret Bernal, Jeff Hitchcock and Andrew Nguyen. Goyette describes it as a “very dark story, sort of a supernatural thing” that deals with the obsession of a teenager trying to find out what is inside a safe discovered in a graveyard. His father, Marc Goyette, says while the story involves things that don’t happen in everyday life, it is ultimately a journey of discovery. Typical of harried movie directors, Goyette arrived late for our interview. Perhaps not as typical, this director needed a ride from his sister since he doesn’t yet have his license and apologized profusely for forgetting the appointment.
