New Teaser on Facebook.

Just working out the ending for the film. In editing I discovered a need for a quick scene between Casey and Faith that we're shooting tomorrow (Sunday). Then, it's time to get serious about finishing this film.

Music, sound, ADR, colour correction, and the occasional new shot. I'd love to have the film finished by the end of August, but that probably isn't realistic.

Perhaps a screening version to show to a select group of tastemakers and intelligentsia. That sounds right.

WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD

Started in May? Wow.

It's hard to keep everything straight...the amount of writing for a film that features 90% improvised dialogue is...pretty crazy. The writing continues, but is now pretty much connecting things that have been left somewhat disconnected. Plot points that are clear to the cast and director are completely lost to the viewer (due to implication or omission on my part).

Sitting down with an impartial audience of one or two trusted viewers is essential. I'm thinking about asking a few really cool watchers, but I'm not sure how that's going to work. I'm hoping for a Canadian acting genius, a hilarious standup comedian and a brilliant Canadian novelist. Along with a few bottles of French red wine and the cast.

A When Life Was Good summit.

I'm going to rent a cool space and do it, next week, after I shoot and edit the next few pickups and the last theatre scene on Tuesday.

WLWG UPDATED

The greatest cast in the universe.






We're getting close...

New shots from yesterday's marathon shoot.

WLWG - and more

WLWG

We're moving right along. Shot some great stuff today. Shot a short film called "Danny?" yesterday with Tijana, Dan, Kristine, and Casey. It's pretty funny, I think.

Thanks to rob for this link: Wow. I love Zach and Will. Nice.

Back in the saddle

WLWG is back.

We're shooting a bunch of stuff, including some out of sequence...sequences. VERY difficult with this type of improvised film, although, I've written all the scenes, so, in theory...

Paris Je T'aime was a really great film (although the mimes were annoying).

Editing is taking a while...I'm at 98 minutes and we're just over halfway finished (I'm guessing).

Hopefully John Paul McGlynn is going to make his first appearance!

Fingers crossed.

Let's shoot.

The end of Story.
