Criticism

I figured I should put this out there to the world (1 or 2 readers of this blog and anybody that may read it in the future).

This is a quote I'm stealing from my favorite author Chuck Palahniuk. He's been very influential in my perspective of the world and I wore a necklace he personally made for me during my entire shoot. For those of you who don't know who he is, he is the author of my favorite book which would later move on to become my favorite film "Fight Club".

Anyways, this is a quote in regards to the hopes of my film ever being seen and the inevitable trolls that will come forth.

"Until you can create something that captivates people, I'd invite you to just shut up. It's easy to attack and destroy an act of creation. It's a lot more difficult to perform one."

I Color...

It's what I like to do.

I'd rather sit here and listen to music and play with colors than socialize and interact with human beings.

Some call it pathetic. I call it bliss.

Alive

So the project is still continuing and I am still alive. I decided to go for the homeless look so I stopped shaving and I never combed my hair to begin with so hooray for that!

I've been busy casting actors for my final scenes that I need to film. I have also completed locked picture for many of the scenes in the film. So I'm happy to say that the fun times of sound editing have begun! I'm really happy my good friend Jason Rudd is in charge of that department. I've heard some of the work he's done already and it is sounding amazing.

Once I finish the rest of my small scenes I get to send off the almost completed film to my other buddy Jason Downer who will get to put in beautiful music and make the film sound lovely. Can't wait to hear what he comes up with.

I've also finally learned the ins and outs of a software program so I can begin color timing the project soon. Multiple actors that I've met mention how beautiful the cinematography looks from my little temp trailers and teasers. I can't wait to hear what people think when the footage has actually been treated. Hooray and good luck for Matt Bailey getting future jobs! He's going to have a nice stable career as a cinematographer while I'm scrounging through garbage looking for something to eat. Please still be my friend Matthew Raymond Bailey.

Well at least I can say I wrote, directed and produced a feature film. Not many can say that. Good game.
