Write what you know Five years ago, Eric Stuyvesant gained custody  of his 
three sons, all under age 6. The experience of being a single parent was  
overwhelming. 

When Stuyvesant regained his sense of humor, he wrote a semi-autobiographical 
 screenplay about his situation.  
"Custody" is his dramedy about single parenthood and who really has custody  
of whom - the parent or the kids. The feature screens at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 
 11, at the Cedar Lee Theatre in Cleveland Heights. Tickets are $10.  
"Custody" was written and co-directed by Stuyvesant, who lives in Akron, and  
co-directed and co-produced by Scott Wachtel of Cuyahoga Falls. The film was  
shown in Barberton this week.  
Stuyvesant and Wachtel admit that their first attempt to film "Custody" was a 
 textbook example of What Not To Do. Their ancient 16 mm film camera would 
only  shoot for about 30 seconds at a time. They filmed without sound, planning 
to dub  the dialogue later, but then had no reference to the actors' ad libbed 
lines.  
"We failed miserably," Stuyvesant said. "I take all the blame. I tried to  
take every shortcut known to man and tried to invent some more."  
This past New Year's Eve, Stuyvesant stayed home and planned how to reshoot  
"Custody" the right way. With locations, shooting schedules and storyboards in 
 place, the second shoot went much smoother.  
Stuyvesant plays the lead, and his sons appear as themselves.  
The movie includes music by Northeast Ohio musicians such as Michael Stanley, 
 the Raspberries and Colin Dussault.
