I’m still looking for a place to shoot a few scenes from Rome 444 and not having much luck. I’ve also been in talks with costume designers and everything is way over my budget. I’m sure I’ll come up with something MacGyver style. I’m very good at that, but we lose our Nero in the […]

I spoke with a studio today that has a large town that with several buildings that would work perfectly for Rome 444. Unfortunately, they do not rent one building by itself. They only rent to big productions with large budgets who book the entire town. Too bad there aren’t a lot of choices when it […]

I am searching for a location to shoot Rome 444. I want it to be as authentic as possible, so I need a stone or rock  wall building.  The option I was scheduled to check out today was not going to work, so I’m still on the look out for something that will work for […]

We’ve got the leads cast for Rome 444. After having more than 1,000 people apply and seeing several at the audition, we decided on three very talented actors.  Josh Delozier will be playing the role of Nero, Amber Geneva will be playing Queen Camilla, and Gabrielle Pastore will be playing Antonia. This Monday, I check out the location […]

I showed Brad the top contenders for Rome 444 last night. We are casting three characters. A man, a woman, and a young girl. He agreed with my choices, and I’ve made my final decision on the cast.  I will be calling the actors tomorrow to let them know. Brad minored in Roman history, so […]

Hollywood Casting and Film had a large room set up for us today at the Rome 444 auditions. We had several talented actors show up, and I feel like we will have a strong cast for the scenes I plan to shoot this month. I will review the audition tapes tonight with Brad before we […]

I am right now completing the final Sound Edit pass for Justine and Barry.  Tomorrow I will be shipping it off to the mix stage for it’s final sweetening pass, so my work on sound has come to an end.   In Picture news I have already done some color correction on my camera masters and […]

Justine & Barry is picture locked! It looks really good too. It makes me laugh, and the end makes me cry. Both very good signs!!! I just love it!! We are already color correcting, and we’ll be sending it off to a sound mixer soon. We still have the credit sequence to do, but we’re […]

Brad’s working on visual effects for the show Cosmos, and he’s learning so much information that is going to help us in our future projects. He’s always been fascinated with special effects and for the past four years has taken classes and spent most of his free time learning more. It’s one of his passions […]

Whenever I spend my day writing, I notice that it passes in a blur of words. Even though a lot gets done, it never feels like it’s enough, partially because I enjoy it so much. I never want to stop down and switch to doing anything else, even when I need to. I have Sandy […]
