The Joys of Filmmaking

So... It begins.

Filmmaking is in my blood. It has to be, if I'm ready to begin the journey all over again. I'm currently gearing up to do a new short film and I'm getting really excited about it.

Currently we're in the process of casting. It's exciting and I'm happy. But it has not been without its rough patches. There initially wasn't supposed to be any casting but some things fell through but I sincerely believe it's for the best.

Lore is on top of her A-Game and she's helped me choose quite a lot of talent that would make for interesting portrayals of the characters my friend Keaton and I created.

We're hoping to shoot the short sooner than later. My hope and plan for the project is to complete it before "Turning Point's" festival premiere. The festival responses will begin rolling in around December so I'm still expecting the worst but hoping for the best.

I would love to have the film "completely completed" before we hit the road to show "Turning Point" and pass it out to audience members on DVD. I think it's a good way to keep people interested in us as filmmakers and to also make sure people remember us. We'd also like to show we have a range of material we are able to create.

As for this short there's not much else to say. "Turning Point" is currently waiting inside its cocoon. I'm hoping it comes out as a beautiful butterfly. But it just might end up being a moth that few people enjoy as it hides in the dark.

Like I've said before, only time will tell.

-Ryan.
