One Traveler Too Many (2016) is a short film inspired by the absinthe lore of the late 1800’s. After having one glass of absinthe too many late one evening in Savannah, GA, two drunk Victorian-era young men Henry Sheridan and Sebastian Vitti-core played by Walker Harrison and Joseph Binzer share a carriage ride home with the widow Radcliffe played by Kelly Stowell. The portly plain woman has never looked so attractive to Henry who mistakes her for the beautiful beguiling Green Fairy of absinthe lore played by Samantha Binkerd. The slightly more sober Sebastian realizes that the extra traveler is just a figment of Henry’s imagination so he tries to help his friend who is seeing the world through green colored lenses. His intention becomes clear to the surprised widow who goes from being put off to turned on by all the attention. Welcome to the world of the Belle Époque era!

We spoke to Seth F. Johnson, a recent SCAD grad with a BFA in Film and Television, who is working on a film that will air on TV One.
“There is a fantastic group of filmmakers already living here,” he says. “When I got on my current set, I already knew about a third of the crew. The Savannah Film Office has always been very accommodating, and even took the time to help me find locations while I was an undergraduate. On this film, they have been able to assist me with arranging picture cars, shutting down streets, and even notifying the Coast Guard about our need to fire a flare gun.”
Johnson also loves Savannah’s rich visual possibilities, including the nation’s largest historical district, an urban evergreen forest and boundless coastal and rural settings. “In February of 2015, I directed a short film called ‘One Traveler Too Many,’ which I shot in the historic district. Since the film was set in the 1890s, I was able to utilize the brick roads and the old Victorian homes. Then, in summer, I shot a short drama about three young adults on a sailing adventure called ‘Death of a Dream.’ I only had to travel 15 minutes down the road, and I was able to film in the marsh and in and around the islands.”
