what's next

THE RED ROOSTER

I've finished a "pretty close" picture edit, and roughed out 28 of 46 parts as far as simple production sound/dialogue is concerned.

I'm not sure if I'll use music/score, or just do some foley/walla.

I've also roughed out a trailer.

WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD

Can't wait to find out when the film screens in Toronto, but it looks like the schedule isn't coming for a while yet...do I drive or do I fly...

SO MUCH work to do touching up the film, planning the trip, filling out forms, burning DVDs and CDs. Whew.

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm really excited about another guided improvisational film. I think I'll just pick the actors and work from a detailed outline again. It worked pretty well last time, and Hong Sang-Soo does it everytime...or, maybe somebody wants to pay me to make THE STRAWBERRY SPLITS. That would also be cool.

Heath's Joker was a masterpiece.

WLWG = TIFF

When Life Was Good is an official selection of the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.

Thanks guys!

news

News update coming soon.

I was just looking over the "Brothers" info I've typed up over the last while. The film is now called "The Red Rooster."

We finished our last day of shooting about 20 minutes ago outside Relish in Vancouver (it's 2:07AM right now).

It's been a hell of a ride, and one of the most difficult and rewarding things I've ever attempted.

Whew.

Thanks to everybody for the magic.

We finished a week ago, but tonight was a "pickup" night.

We didn't shoot in Victoria. I did write an entire script (it wasn't an improv film or a "write it the night before" film).

We shot in Duncan, Ucluelet, Tofino, Mill Bay, Brentwood, and Vancouver.

We shot along the same route they shot Five Easy Pieces.
