Unmasking Jolies' Ghost

Well we shot Jolies flash back with the amazing and talented Dylan Thomas and Asher Morris. The two were pro's and did an excellent job. Dylan plays a young Jolie(Melissa Roberts) and Asher plays Daniel the neighbor boy trying to get her to come out and play with a pup.
We ran about an hour over on time and I don't think that is to bad considering we were working with children, pups and French.

Andy McCone came in for the second part of our shoot to do the scene where Jolie breaks up with her online boyfriend. We shot this in French and English just for the sake of insurance. He commented that it was like taking acid in a room where no one else is. Andy was professional and he has just a great charisma about him that I truly enjoy being around.

After the shoot we had fairly brief impromptu crew meeting. Eric, Stefan and Mark are truly some very talented individuals that I feel very privileged to work with. Jason and myself seem to have the same ability to gather people to a project and keep things rolling. Everyone is extremely skilled and hard working. I definitely am appreciative and as always very honored that people with such talent come together to work on projects I have set up.

My hopes for the future will be to actually.... pay everyone. With that comes investors and feature projects. First things first Sans Vie and Unmasking.

Speaking of which I did watch a demo reel of unmasking and I have to say I'm blown away. That project just seemed to fall together and what I have seen so far in post it seems to have a very complimentary potential to Sans Vie. Both of those releasing in March will be a lot of fun.

Ghost in the Machine Post has been put on hold as I have run out of time on that video. I will complete it but I don't know if it will be by the October 20th deadline.

Other notes of interest, we are no longer working with Neodandi but instead moving forward with a more feasible wardrobe solution.

We had a rehearsal last night. Dixi and Melissa are just so perfect for these roles. Melissa worked with Margaretta on her translations and I'm confident in the end this will be in French. Oh yes and Margaretta after reading the script gave me a thumbs up on it being true to French Story telling.

I'm now researching grip equipment working on production boards and various other sleep stealers. Its a blast.
