september news

So it's an official wrap on Smile of April. We did some reshoot this week end. We lost two scenes from the hard drives and had to reshoot them... plus another scene we had to reshoot with anne marie and torri. It went well, really well. the scenes ended up being way better than what they used to be so, no regrets.

We finished the first draft of the next feature film "We're all someone's stranger" ... we're gonna start looking into French fundings, co-productions, ect...

the rough cut of Smile of April will be done at end of the week, next week the latest.

We're working on making a DVD with our three shorts...

So we're gonna edit Smile of April ourselves. WE decided that waiting to find money to pay an editor was taking the risk not to have a movie done by the end of the year. We're gonna do it and Zoltan will still try to get money for sound design and color correction.

We found the locations we needed to shoot the first 8 pages of "We're all someone's stranger", we'll cut a promotional teaser out of it. Now the issue is... do we take union Actors? Don't want to pay 50$ per day and per actor... well, I would love to if I had the money. So do we do it anyway and find a way? or do we go non union? We'll take a decision this week.

We're also working on ideas to make the behind the scenes of Sanctuary. We sent a pitch to Damian today. Hope he'll like it.

Gonna watch "A cinderella story" to make sure I don't do the same thing with "life is not a fairy tale" even though this one will be darker.

got the next 33 pages of "We're all someone's stranger" ready to be sent to the Cold Reading Series.
