Love, SF#21 and more projects…0

So the script of my new short love story – which has replaced Exposed as my upcoming project – was finished a few days ago. Hoping to start production of this film sometime next week (first week of August). It’s a pretty short shoot, as I’m aiming to be able to shoot the film in just four or five days. While casting choices are still somewhat muddled and not ready yet, I’m hoping to be able to present the main roles for you in a matter of days. I’ve created a page for this, still untitled, Love Story, which will hopefully be shot and done in the next couple of weeks and then released in a few months.

Work on Short Film #21, which I’m working as 1st AD on, is really ramping up. From call sheets to planning and choosing extras, most of my days are filled with work with the project, which is getting closer and closer to being shot (production starts in just a little over two weeks). It’s a fun experience – I’ve had the chance to involve some of my friends involved with photography as well as Martin Wikner (the director of the werewolf movie Fatale, which I worked as DoP on) for behind-the-scenes stuff. Can’t wait to start production on the project. Make sure you go over to the film’s fan page on Facebook and sign up for all the latest updates! Also, embedded below is a short behind-the-scenes look at a graffiti wall which was designed to promote the project – it’s shot by previously mentioned Martin Wikner, and it’s a fun and relaxed look at the project. Will be fun to see what he comes up with as production moves closer.

In other news, planning has also started on future projects I will direct later this fall – having a small meeting in a couple of hours with the team behind it so we can discuss certain aspects of it. Can’t tell you what it is though, just yet.

In related news, SpexArn is about to be released in its international version on the website (that was sort of transparent, wasn’t it? ) It’s taken a bit longer than I had thought – what will be released is basically a brand new cut of the film. The film will be shorter than what premiered about seven months ago, but I think it’ll work better for an international audience. Also, it will include some deleted scenes which we weren’t able to include in its original release. Hoping to have more news concerning this very shortly – just doing some final touches on graphics and subtitles as we speak.

Halloween might mean another small short film….been toying with ideas around viral marketing with some bigger producers, and I think we have a pretty good clue what we’ll be working on if it gets to that point. Stay tuned in the blogosphere world for more information.

Site reboot might come shortly. Working on a new, more professional look for the website which will focus more on film, and less on blogging. Not sure if this is something we will be moving ahead with though. In any way, I still need to set some more social network connectivity here, which is something you should see more of in the coming months.

More updates as soon as I have them! Take care everyone!
