Heaven and Hell wraps!

Heaven and Hell wrapped principle photography August 30th, 4:43pm with 30 secs on the clock, after 3 and 1/2 months of shooting.

Some time this winter I will have a screening, it should take about 4 months to edit.

The run time is that a shorter feature- I say shorter as most Hollywood films… Continue

Time to Move on - Romantic Comedy here I Come!

Now that the pilot script is complete it's time to move onto the next masterpiece (LMAO) or at least the next entertaining bit of writing. In this case my collaborator and myself return to a project we had let fall away in favor of working on the pilot. We started a romantic comedy script nearly 5 years ago about a geek that gets the girl.

Yeah, I know it's been done before, but it's a tried and true formula for success. Besides, being geeks ourselves it is sort of a fantasy… Continue

Minutes to Live

MTL Casting (as of 9/2 casting is completed for the 9/12 shoot.)

Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know I'm working on a new project called "Minutes to Live." It is a series of web videos filmed in different locations with different actors and different cameras.

The concept is that an announcer has just come over TV/radio and explained that the world is ending (we don't actually hear the reason why) and the video begins with the titles/credits and the voice saying "You… Continue

"Broke" Trailer

watch?v=nUJPMzMD3aY
Please check out the Official Trailer for "Broke". Beyond Measure Productions (www.beyondmeasureproductions.com) is a local multi-media company which is a tight knit group made up of extremely talented brothers, cousins and friends. They were great to work with! This film primarily used local talent from Boston and was shot in less than a week. I hope to work with BMP again in the future.

Should we create an indy film organization for NE?

I was thinking of establishing an organization dedicated to indy film in NE. Perhaps a virtual meeting per month, and a few in personal meetings a year. But my intentions are not to create some lame ass networking party. But a group of people that will use eachother in their casts, crews, ect. Or at least bounce ideas back and forth. Or pool money. I'm sick of the cliques, if anyone is interested in this idea, I would be willing to establish a group. Maybe there would a dues, but in any event… Continue

The Period Pilot is Done! (For now.)

My collaborator and I put the wraps on this round of edits on the pilot script for our 1930s period dramedy script. We started working on this particular script almost 6 years ago. We've picked it up and set it down half a dozen times during those years but just recently focused in to get it finished the last few months. I've forwarded the script to a local production house that has volunteered to pull together a budget for us to send out to California to the development company that expressed… Continue
