Okay Great

From the day I wrote the first draft to the day I start shooting will be almost a year. Kind of a frustrating process...Initially I was going to shoot in january, but I got extremely bogged down in work, had to take on an additional unexpected project, etc...then we were going to shoot in May but my DP, Adrian ordered the new Red camera so we waited. The delivery schedule for the Red camera was just bumped 3 months and I'm not waiting anymore. The camera promises to be a revolutionary camera filmmakers- Steven Soderbergh is shooting his next 2 films with it, but again I can't wait anymore. I have a project in the winter and we'll shoot with it then. So be it...

If all stays on course (which it should) I will start shooting Okay Great on September 21st. It'll be a jam packed 3 day shoot. The project started with wanting to do "something weird" and evolved into much more. Without giving too much away- I'd rather have everyone watch it- Okay Great is about a twentysomething man, Sean Chase, who after a sleepless night, is having the single strangest day of his life, but he's not sure if it's his imagination or if it's real.

I'm still looking to cast a female- 20's-30's- in a small (2 scenes), but critical, fun and (hopefully) memorable role, so if anyone knows anyone...also if anyone knows an exhibitionist I have another small scene, no dialogue but very important. There is no nudity, but it is a sex scene. It's not exploitive or distasteful, it's for effect, and it's a neccesity to the story. Anyway, it's a tougher role to cast for the obviosu reasons, so again, if anyone knows anyone...I can explain and describe more when I talk to whomever might be interested. I'll keep posting about this project as I continue to prep.

Outside of my day to day work, I'm close to having a first cut of a piece I'm doing for Steve Depino, which will definitely be posted when it's finished.

later skaters.
