Brother Angel is my first feature film, which is to say that the running length exceeds forty minutes (forty-five to be exact). I've spent about a year on this, from conception and storyboarding to shooting and editing the footage. A large percentage of the camerawork came from the very talented Cooper Smith, who acted as co-director throughout production. I wish to praise the fantastic work of all the actors and actresses who volunteered to be a part of this project and especially my brother who starred as Donald Brown. Thank you all so much! -------------- Brother Angel Directed by Ben Tibbetts Co-Directed by Cooper Smith Inspired by the novel "That's What Friends are For" by Ronald Kidd Starring Ben & Donald Tibbetts Joan Fairbanks Donald Brown................Donald Tibbetts Benjamin Matthews...........Benjamin Tibbetts Miss Dickinson..............Joan Fairbanks Brown Family................Dwight, Marianne, and Chelsea Tibbetts Thug 1......................Ben Jolly Thug 2......................Jeffrey Lees Thug 3......................Alex Fuller Jay "Lucky" Snowman.........Finn Welch Mother with suitcase........Marianne Tibbetts Snobby Student..............Crystal Home Video Father...........Dwight Tibbetts Brown Family Cat............Lydia Crowd Footage...............Erskine Academy Winter Carnival Music Musical cue from ET - The Extra-Terrestrial composed and conducted by John Williams "Gymnopedie" by Erik Satie performed by Chase Coleman "The Place I'll Return to ...
