DC Photos

In October one of my best friends was married in DC. I have a tight schedule and didnt have time to really see the town another best friend of mine wouldnt hear of it so intoxicated and tired we toured the city in a little under an hour at 3am before our flight left. The shots in the daylight are ones he took earlier in the week.

Sans Vie Location Apartment.

Here are some shots of Paiges and Jolies apartment. These locations will look great After they are staged for the shoot.

Happy Thanksgiving

I'm moving, moving, moving and moving. No shaking just moving. Its an exciting and exhausting time in 0ur household as we pack up and move to our new locations . . . 1 mile away.
Currently as a independent I'm learning the juggle between family, work and making movies. Ofcourse it would be so much easier if making movies is what I did for a living but its not. Through December I will be unpacking celebrating various events and
continuing pre-production on Sans Vie. My hope was to shoot in January this is definitely not going to happen. I have to figure out financing and a feasible time to shoot this production so the next time I sit down with cast and crew it will be to let them know all areas of production are secured until then I will update notes on pre-production.

I know how it ends

I have found a house and I’m doing the paperwork either tonight or tomorrow. Its not a done deal until its signed right. This is important because once I’m moved in I can once again focus energy on creating the world of Sans Vie. Man I hope I get this place a two car garage would be a nice place for creating props. Also I’m on the hunt for finicial support yes, I have my budget done and I think I will need to hit the street looking for sponsors. This is going to be tough as I’m not much of a sales person. In other news Merlot will screen December 12 7pm at 911 at their monthly Monday night screening. So if you have missed it here is your chance to see it or see it again.

911 Chaointe

We had our screening of chaointe thanks to Eric Thomas who encouraged me to submit to the event. What a fun venue and the audience was great. I think I have found a new place to meet and network. Chaointe played along with 5 other shorts and it seemed to get a good reaction from the audience. The facilitator was impressed and asked me if I have ever watched primer. My geek o meter went off the charts but I kept myself contained "why yes, yes I have seen primer my good man". So if you are wanting to show your movie in Seattle my recommendations are 911 media arts center and or the JewelBox theatre.
In other news the house hunt is coming to an end, which means hopefully I can work on the recovery of finances project, to get me to where I want to be, making Sans Vie. That was a crappy sentance. I reformatted my PC backed everything on to disk I will spend the next week reloading everything when I do look for some updates to the sansviemovie website. I have a nice little promo and some promotional work coming up soon.
Oh almost forgot Decemeber12th at 7pm Merlot and Pretz will be playing at the 911media art center open screening. Feel free to stop in I will be there.

You look like a black coffee to me

If Midnight was to late for you to watch Chaointe here is your second chance to see it.

Chaointe is playing again this upcoming Monday at 7pm,
Director and crew in attendance.

Sans Vie update

Sans Vie is what it is all about. I'm putting all the elements together and working with some great talent on the cast and crew side. The story is rock solid and everyone is excited on all ends. So when do we start shooting? My plan was originally to shoot this last september because of conflicts in schedules we moved it to January. Now that I'm in the first week of november I dont know how realistic this is as the bottom line budget for it will be just under 5k. I'm hitting my books and looking at numbers although I can probably pull it off I know it wont have half of what I want with my current budget. This is looking like it might be an early spring shoot. With this being my last short and being a story I love, I'm going to make sure I do it right and that it looks beautiful. The good news is we do have a location, we have a lot of pre-production done its just a matter of paying for equipment and the spot. I will continue to update the progress I make toward getting to Sans Vie. Also I'm possibly moving in the next month if this occurs it may slow some of my entries and development on the Sans Vie website.
