Finally
got a long overdue project off the ground. Months of slow planning
and the excellent efforts of a large group of awesome individuals
came together in a recent 4-day shoot (with a handful more planned
for the near future) – a massive jumpstart for the shooting of the
first season of a new webseries Rebecca
and I have been working on over the last few months with
actor/writer/director/producer John
J Byford
– as well as some old friends like editor/animator/artist Jason
K Lind,
and very talented new friends like Jakub
Kasztalski,
who has contributed his mad skills as Director of Photography – in
addition to an amazing cast. The project accomplishes a number of
goals at once – perhaps most importantly, it has been a chance to
do some good work again with a group of genuinely
excellent, talented, and hard working people. Both the people and the
project have been a real gift to our lives.
For
a while now, Rebecca and I have been working on what have amounted to
series of short piecemeal projects. While they have all been very
worthwhile and while we've added positively to our bodies of work, it
nonetheless feels really gratifying to finally be engaging a large
and longer-term project again.
In
other news, the long long overdue recording of The
Way Out
we started back in November is in the very final stages of
post-production – and it sounds pretty awesome, if I don't mind saying.
Also finished a large and personally very significant music work
somewhat recently, but more about both in future posts.
Until
then, keep living the dream my friends. Keep living the dream.
