4 Weeks Out

The cast and I sat down this past Wed. night for the second cast rehearsal, and I am very excited about the project. Our family is coming together very nicely and I can really feel a great rhythm between the actors. I have to hold back laughing loudly in the read through.

In a few weeks we'll be finalizing wardrobe and taking a day to get some family pictures done of the family. I'm really trying to think of all the cheesy family photos I've sat through over the years. We of course have to have the family vacation with matching outfits. I think I've had too many of those. We'll also being doing things like graduation photos, pictures with friends, and we'll be putting old photos of everyone around the home to make our house location our own.

The film's Cinematographer, J. Søren Viuf, and I will be sitting down next week to start talking about overall look and finalizing the crew positions. Søren was also the cinematographer for "The Cypherian." I'm looking forward to seeing his take on things as we get closer to principle photography.

This project will be one of the larger productions our group has taken on, in terms of Short Films. We've got great indoor locations, all pre-dressed, and only needing a few personal touches.

The cast is super excited to get to work, and their performances are growing with every rehearsal. We're very fortunate to be working with such dedicated actors. I think we are all looking forward to the next reading. Be sure to check back for further updates as we get closer to the shoot.

Thanks again everyone!
