Filmmaking is an expensive media. I wish it wasn't and I do everything I can to keep the costs low without sacrificing the creative core of the film – but at some point you just have to pony up to create something of quality and share it with the... (Read More)

Tell Me Something Good

I feel so happy that we have met our primary goal and yes– I hope we make it to 5K so we can pay the piper (Amazon and Kickstarter) and take home the actual $4500 which we budgeted for. For those of you who know me – know I'd rather be talking... (Read More)

Here and Beyond

We did it and I do mean 'WE'! We have reached our funding goal and I am releasing a huge sigh of relief. The 'we' in this project has been crucial. Any funds collected beyond our goal will be used to pay the 5% Amazon takes and the 5% Kickstarter... (Read More)

Tick-Tock

Over the weekend I spent a very creative day with Adrian (the DP) working on the shotlist and imagining the look and feel of this film. We are only 3 weeks away from our shoot dates! Having two sets of eyes so intensely focused on this film is... (Read More)

The above image is a section of a larger frame from our Hollywood Theater footage.  I have taken to studying the shadows in my film(s). This has helped me see that the beauty sometimes is not the main image but what the main image may be... (Read More)

Here we are 14 days to go (that's two weeks) and still looking for funding BUT – the good news is I got my ideal location. Its a late 1920s unoccupied school. We can have a continuous 3 day shoot without moving cast or crew. Complete bliss! Of... (Read More)

The dancer and the moving image

August 15th - via: kickstarter.com
 Over the past months I have tried to watch and study as many 'dance films' as possible in preparation for this project.  By far the most creative is a film by Pina Bausch called 'Die Klage der Kaiserin' (The Complaint of the Empress). Of note... (Read More)

Sleepwalking -somnambulism

August 14th - via: kickstarter.com
On our one day of shooting there was a lot of footage that didn't make it into the Kickstarter clip due to time restraints – so I thought I might offer 20 seconds of somnambulism from some of that footage. You'll need an HTML5 capable browser to... (Read More)

Shadows and Secrets

Preparing for this film has opened up an entirely new world for me. Although I have always loved dance – it's quite different when you look at dance not as a spectator, but as a filmmaker attempting to visualize dance in a way it hasn't yet been... (Read More)

First day thoughts
