It's time to flip flop. I locked Lauren's picture on Tuesday, meaning all the edits and cuts are done. All that's left are titles and sound design. Wednesday Lauren began editing my film. I'm not involved in this process, nor do I want to be. She's making her cut,...

No More Changes [Editing]
So the editing for my F3, How to Sell Your Soul, is locked. Of course there's always doubts. For the most part it was a painless process, and I'm very happy with the final cut. We have a run-time limit of 6:30 for content. The first cut was 1:47 over. The cut we just...
Warning – Sound Mixing May Cause ADD
This is the home stretch - the last cycle of sound design. For eight days I'm back in the post hallway/cave, sound designing my own movie. I appreciate the importance of sound. An audience can forgive bad images, but not bad sound. But for some reason, I find myself...

Pre-Production on The Great One [Producing]
As noted before, it's back to producing mode. This is the same director that I produced The Treasonist for (where I got a free bus and Dodge Magnum). Here's the one-line synopsis: A messenger in the Napoleonic Wars contemplates his future after accidentally...

I Shoot in Three Days. Don’t Panic.
I shoot my thesis in three days. I've been going with my "everything works out" attitude, and I know it will, but I won't lie. I'm starting to panic. I just need a few simple things, such as a cast and locations. Locations look a little more promising than casting....
