I wanted to quickly post up the movie poster for my latest short film. We shot it in April and It's nearly complete. The experience was a really great one, fantastic crew, amazing actors, and a fun script to work with. I'm really proud of the work everyone did on this and I can't wait to start showing it.
I had such a desire to "make something" after spending day after day writing scripts, so I figured "The Perfect Place" was the perfect place to start. It was the simplest script on my desk, three locations, three actors, five pages, a sharp contrast from most of my previous work. Honestly, it was really nice doing something that was achievable. I story boarded it up, broke down the script, planned the shooting schedule and we smashed it out in a day, we even wrapped early!
This was my first film in over four years, so it felt really good to be back into it. It also happened to be my first digital film. The last short I directed, we were shooting on super 16mm film, so I was delighted to be able get more than two takes on each shot. It was pure luxury! Sometimes we even kept the camera rolling in between takes! (*gasp*). Don't get me wrong I love film, but not so much when you have to guard every foot like it's gold I've tried to stop this project from taking over my writing time, so it has taken a bit longer than I expected to finish. I hope to post more about it soon, as well as more about some of the other projects I'm working on.
