Today I took Pieces in Bloom and meshed it together, mixing the five stories like an omelette. It now needs a good rewrite to make everything come together seamlessly. I may decide to keep it as five back to back stories in the same city because the stories as they stand now are very strong. […]
Playground is cut, and we are still deciding on a composer so we can refine the cut and lock it. Effects are being developed, and they’re looking really cool. Not only does Brad have to design the energy bursts, but he also has to add the smoke and burn they leave behind. It’s a process […]
Pieces in Bloom is written, and I love the way it turned out. I begin the second draft tomorrow. It’s amazing how fast I flew through this one and how wonderful it all turned out. The characters are so interesting, and the situations and obstacles are captivating. I am really excited about casting, and can’t […]
As I finish up my feature, I am tying everything together. It’s really cool how it’s all working out. When I mesh the stories in the second draft, dialogue will change a bit to make it seamless. There are 42 different parts in my feature and that does not include the extras. There are 11 […]
I’m at the tail end of writing my feature. Opal’s story is the one I’ve been looking forward to writing most. I already have the actor in mind for Dane just from seeing his reel online. He’s talented and gorgeous. I’m writing the part with him in mind. Things could change if we go SAG, […]
We’ve had such an enormous response from composers for Playground, and it’s going to take a while to sort through all the candidates. I spent some time refining scenes and cutting today. The film is complete and looks good. We need to add transitional elements and do sound work as well as all the effects, […]
It may be a holiday week for some, but when you are self employed, work never stops. This week, in between planning a Thanksgiving dinner for my family and preparing it, I was inspired to write a story that I will adapt into a screenplay. It’s called The Vet, and as of now, it’s a […]
Months ago Brad and I shot a short film with just the two of us called The Sphere. It’s about an effects artist, played by Bea Schreiber, who designs an effect that comes to life in the real world. We’ve been so busy on other projects that we haven’t made The Sphere our top priority, […]
The temp title for our feature is Pieces in Bloom. It’s 5 different love stories, all happening in Los Angeles. I’ve mentioned the first two. One is about a couple of CEOs, Chelsea and Davenport, who are in a fiercely competitive business and find themselves drawn to each other. The second story is about Danny […]
I want to express my gratitude to all we have worked with this past year and wish you all a wonderful holiday weekend with your family and loved ones. We will be celebrating at a home with a meal I’ll be preparing for my family. Happy Thanksgiving!
