Grad school is terrifying. It's pretty much just like you image it'd be. Very professional, lots and lots of research and a whole lot of work. The classes are small about 8 students per, which is great because we'll definately be receiving a great education from this very knowledgable professors; but its horrifying to think that every little thing ( Read more... )

It seems like every year we have a plethora of action movies, each trying to out do the last. Whats that? Expendables 3 had 27 explosion 6 car chases and 13 fight scenes. Well then our movie will have all of the above AND we will blow up an entire city in Montana, crash 18 helicopters and obliterate Mt.Rushmore...that'll show 'em.

It's what ( Read more... )

One day next year, when the film is done and we're touring the filmfestival circuit, Future 86 will win an award for best film.

I will then walk up to the podium to accept the award and say this "I honestly had no idea what I was doing this entire time"

Never, have I ever produced a feature film. But honestly I'm doing a pretty good job of it so far ( Read more... )

Things are working out.

Really well. and I'm terrified.

We're just 2 auditions away from completing our cast. Its crazy, just a few days ago we have 0 leads on our male lead and now we have 3 amazing talents all interested in joining the project.

Struggling to find great actors/locations

This whole being broke thing sucks.

Hans (Art Director) made a comment that touched me recently. He said we may be broke but were doing what we love.

What more can you ask for I guess.

Yesterday was the first round of auditions for Future 86, and it went pretty fantastic. We met some wonderful people who I believe will not only be great actors but good friends in the near future.

We haver about 83 days till we shoot, and I know that sounds like a lot but we have SOOO MUCH TO DO.

I'm struggling to find a fantastic (or any actually) ( Read more... )

Casting is looking good so far.

We have 11 straight hours of casting next Thursday. We will be watching some of the most talented people I know doing what they do best. Which is always a very inspiring thing.

Ronald, Mario and david have begun working on the shots for the film. Which makes everything just seem more real. These shots they're writting ( Read more... )

I bought a kino flow kit today for $400. Saved the budget $600. Very good purchase. I hope.

We also found an amazing website that ships you the equipment you rent from them (super freaking cheap) saved us $700 in renting cost.

With all these savings maybe ill give myself a raise? Lol

No but really, I hope we save enough money to hire a professional ( Read more... )

I know it's only May 20th but it pretty much feels like June, and June pretty much feels like July, and July pretty much feels like August and August we begin principle photography. thats a scary thought.

In good news though, my team is really impressing me, Hans, Mario and Ronald are all taking their jobs very seriously and working hard towards the ( Read more... )

We met another crew member, his name is Robert. very smart kid who loves film. He's friends with Bryan and heard about the project from him.

We spent an hour or so at Starbucks talking, I thing he'll be a wonderful addition to the team.

Our team is working their butts off to get this film ready to go, very excited for the next few weeks.
