Damn. these auditions are going to take forever. The only time Roger Mathey has to do this is the weekends, and the auditions are by appointment, so some people can't make it this weekend, so it has to be the next week,a nd the one more week after that, probably auditioning the finalists and determinng the cast. then I need to rehearse. I'm ( Read more... )

Going to see Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Oldboy doube feature tomorrow night, and in a theater and not some little room at comic-con. Should be pretty cool. I've been wanting to see those movies for a while. I think the Snakes on a Plane panel is tomorrow. Hopefully i'll get to be the first to ask them if they're serious.

So I asked Roger Mathey to help cast. Roger Mathey is the executive director at the spotlight theater. He's also a filmmaker, and also directed an acclaimed stage version of Trainspotting. He's also the guy who put me in the film festival. I sent Roger Mathey an email asking for hsi help in casting my feature. He agreed enthusiastically. I think ( Read more... )

He'll probably meet her ( Read more... )

Lately I've been helping Jake out with some movie of his. But he's a horrible director. It's a 4 page script that's taking days to film. I've filmed 30 minute long films in a single night. He's makign everything a big deal, acting like it's a big productiona nd that we're on a deadline, but it's just a short film being made for fun. He's freaking ( Read more... )

I'm not getting anything done. I made a short version of my script, and it's 51 pages long. That's just essential scenes. But the essential scenes happen to be very long. I think there's like four 10+ page dialogue scenes. Well hopefully I can make it to show to people to raise funds. If I can get about 10 grand I can shoot on HD, which would be ( Read more... )

I'm removing the first scene and the last scene from my script. They're just too cheesy. Andrew thought the script was good though. But he agreed about the last scene. I think I'll just leave it ambiguous.
