The Fargo Film Festival is excited to welcome Zach Keifer and Gabe DeLoach to FFF 14 on March 7.
Keifer and DeLoach will be representing their documentary “If We Shout Loud Enough,” a musical examination of Baltimore’s underground rock scene through one of its most pivotal bands, Double Dagger.
You can view the trailer here.
Keifer grew up an Army brat living in 8 different states before reaching the age of 13. An introvert by nature and not desire, he was immediately drawn to the art of filmmaking for its ability to translate his imagination into reality. Zach holds a BA in film studies and is a graduate of the six-week 16mm filmmaking course at the New York Film Academy.
Additionally, Zach has competed in over 15 different timed filmmaking competitions, winning the best director award twice. He currently makes a home in Charlottesville, VA where he has worked on two documentary features with fellow filmmaker Gabriel DeLoach.
DeLoach was born and raised in northern Appalachia country by an ex-NSA radio intelligencer and a stock car driver/equestrian.
After receiving his BFA in 2001 from Baltimore’s Maryland Institute College of Art, DeLoach spent 6 or 7 years as an itinerant student of multiple grinds: dairy farmer, dock hand, large-format portrait photographer, carpenter, mason and timber-framer – traveling all over creation before turning to journalism and filmmaking full time.
DeLoach has since worked on natural history and commercial projects across the Asian continent and in South America for the National Geographic Society and other non-profits, documenting ground-breaking biological research on tigers, jaguars, one-horned rhinos, and other endangered megafauna. His first documentary, “The Harvest: A Story About Giving,” is now streaming for free on Hulu.
The filmmakers will be present for a Q & A following the screening of their movie on Friday, March 7 at 3:10 PM at the Historic Fargo Theatre.
