We have picture locked Cry Uncle!
I am so excited to move onto the next stage of production: sound.
Thank you to everyone who watched our movie (several times) and gave us notes good and bad along the way.
Only a few more weeks until the industry screening at Chapman.
I love my life!!
We wrapped production of Cry Uncle last Sunday and already, my wonderfully talented editor, Nicole, has finished the first cut of our film Cry Uncle.
I am excited to screen it for my classes over the next few days and get feedback.
February has become March.
Shiva has now become Cry Uncle.
Pre-Production is now over and principal photography is less than 48 hours away. Tomorrow will be full of loading in and last minute stress.
Thursday we begin our journey.
Siri, you're hilarious. Not.
I guess the first major update is that the film is no longer going to be called Shiva. B.A. and I will get back to you when we figure out what to name it.
Casting is well underway, and we have been blessed with many great potential candidates to fill out our cast. It's always exciting to see the characters that are on paper come alive in a living breathing person before your eyes.
Casting at CAZT in Hollywood
As a director, going to castings has been enormously helpful in becoming that much clearer about the characters of this story. So many talented actors and actresses have brought in such a variety of emotion and interpretation that it brings tears to my eyes. I love it when I'm in a session, talking about the character with someone, and then a light bulb goes off in my head. It's one of those moments of pure inspiration and such a rush!
Location scouting has also begun in earnest. I can't wait to start posting some pics up here. In the meantime, stay tuned for more developments on not-Shiva.
