so sorry for the delay. this has been quite a journey. as i write this, i think of the trials and tribulations that we’ve gone through in creating this film thus far. i’ve made many new friends, and lost a few. moved from LA to NYC. written a script and decided to go back to the drawing board. had the crew rush their passports and then delay their trip. our DP paul’s film that he gaffed, bellflower, has been featured at sundance, sold, and distributed. my friend brian’s film was shot for half a million dollars. i’ve learned many important lessons along the way and now, more excited about this film than ever, i continue on.

some nice czech phrases

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 18:49:39 -0400

“strč prst skrz krk” meaning “stick a finger through your throat” and “Smrž pln skvrn zvlhl z mlh.” meaning “Morel full of spots was dampened by fogs”

normally there are vowels, but these are just special

Underwater Footage

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 14:58:45 -0400

It’s possible we’ll use one of our normal cameras in an underwater housing, or we may get the Eumig Nautica camera: the only super 8 camera created specifically to go underwater. Here’s some footage of it in use:

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:38:54 -0400

the teaser is filming this weekend. i’m really glad to have chosen actors and locations that genuinely excite me. it feels authentic, and not like i’m trying to create something that is a placeholder for what i think people want to see. booya.
