Kevin Spacey joins star Maggie Gyllenhaal and Dana Brunetti at the 2016 Jameson First Shot Short Film Competition at Paramount Studios in L.A. With winners Kat Wood, Jason Perini, and Cameron Thrower | July 30, 2016

Kevin takes us behind the scenes as the cameras start to roll:

Kevin Spacey stars as Evgeniy Petrov, the Soviet Union writer and journalist with an unusual hobby: since the age of six, he writes fake letters to other countries. The short film, written and directed by Aleksey Nuzhny was one of three Jameson First Shot winners. The First Shot films were initially produced by Kevin’s Trigger Street Productions. 

From blogger Scott Langdon, a nice recap of Kevin’s mission in creating this opportunity for aspiring filmmakers: 

“Spacey is a rare artist, and one whom I admire a great deal.  He takes chances, and pours his own talents and money into work he feels is important. One of the projects he has undertaken is a series of short films developed and made through the Jameson First Shot short film contest.  Jameson First Shot sees Jameson Irish Whiskey collaborate with Kevin Spacey’s Trigger Street Productions to give three filmmakers the chance to bring their talent to life.”
