Updates and Information

K here.

Another updates post!

We didn't pitch Nehst. We didn't feel quite ready. With the online option, we felt we could up our game and submit online, or perhaps catch another filmmaker bootcamp in New York.

We've been steadily working on the reality show project. The treatment is all that remains. We should be meeting with our subject on Sunday to over the contract and other fine details. Fun, fun.

We're planning to enter the Hollywood Black Film Festival (the deadline is in February, yikes!) which is why M and I have been writing our *expletives* off.

This summer, we're planning to just go for it and, hopefully with a Canon XL-1, shoot our first feature. We've been meeting some interesting Cleveland people who might want to join in on the project. Of course, we'll update everything here.

M and I made a horrible little green screen a few days ago. It's truly a representation of what a measly budget will create.

Expect pics soon!

Updates for the little Filmies...

-M in da hizzie!

So, we're back in Cleveland, ready to actually get the HANG of things now that we don't have school bogging us down anymore. We got a car (finally) with enough trunk space to fit our film gear, and we are coming into some dinero in January so we can start paying off bills and...

...finally get started on some projects for our COMPLETED screenplays (YEAH)!!

So, here is a rough list of what we're working with at the moment:

January 6th-February 6th 2008: We'll be working on a feature film that is being shot in Cleveland, no we're not directing, we're doing some grunt work (script supervisors, etc.) just to help out the local community.

Sometime during January we'll actually be reading/casting LOCAL TALENT (Cleveland, holla!) for our short, entitled "Dilemma".

We'll be shooting in February (for two weekends) then we'll be in the editing room for the rest of February and a good portion of March.

By March we hope the weather is nice enough for us to begin real filming of "Refugee", because I would hate to have my actress running her ass of in the snow!

We'll also going to be volunteering and chilling at the Cleveland International Film Festival, which I know is going to be filled with shenanigans and good times.

Then, finally, SUMMER. Long, hot days with friends and family at the Lake shore, chilling and countless warm nights continuing the writing/filming process.

We've also been thinking about doing some youtube/webshow stuff. We figure that not only is it a way to augment a resume, it's a great way to create a rapport with local actors and crew that can one day become, who knows, a production company of sorts? :)

I'm also looking into animation techniques, because I think that "Born Under Water", which is more Sci-Fi, would look and feel better animated.

Anyway, that's all I'm writing for now on "the plan" tip, because it's late and I have to go do some editing and software updating like the little nerd I am.

Peace!

Oh, and cross your fingers for our older brother, he just got into the game and is hoping to confidently shop around his spec this summer. :)
