We're Still Here

Thought I'd shoot you a little update now that everything has been quiet for a while. The movie is already being shipped to various festivals around the world so we hope to have some news on this progress soon. In the meantime I've personally been focussing on other things including a couple of new scripts and little things I had been neglecting while finishing up 'Willa'.
 So everything I write these little updates I seem to want to have a "what's next"! And exactly what is next? Well your guess is actually as good as mine. I am new to the industry so I don't have the luxury of contacting my network to get the film out there. I'm hoping for festival attention and through that hopefully get some interest around our story, our wonderful cast and amazing director of photography. So that's about it really! So I'll keep you all posted on our 'attention scale'. So far, even without doing much we have managed to get some attention from different places so I am excited to see what's in store in the coming months. But now we wait and see. And though I know many of you out there are eager to see the final film it will be a while before it becomes available to anyone. I hope we can open in style at a festival in New York City so I'll keep believing in that and we shall see how everything goes.

Updates, Real Dates, Teasers and Promises!

So - For everyone out there who's following us I think it's time for a little update. I have the privilege, and curse, of doing a lot of jobs on 'Willa' myself. I am learning a lot but also have to work hard to make sure our wonderful film doesn't just sit around while I do one small thing after another. That's sort of why I am doing a lot of things at once and slowly gathering everything. Sound editing on the film is almost done, I am now working with a couple of great composers who, like so many others, have loved the story so much that they actually will make original music for the film. I would have settled for tracks that were sitting around but I'll certainly take an original score any day!
Also, a fabulous designer is working on a poster for the film and I am very excited to show you some of the ideas for that very soon.
'Willa' has also already been submitted to its first festival. I'm not telling you which one just yet. I think it's more fun if they actually invite us. Though the plan always have been to wait until the film was 100 percent done I just couldn't wait with this one.
Sound design is also coming together slowly. And it's amazing to see - and hear - how things come so much more to life and how the entire mood and feel of a scene changes with the sound. I've definitely found a new respect for sound designers out there and how even little sounds can change a lot.
The biggest task at hand is the color correction and the visual effects. I have a deadline for this - February 15th these must be done! There! I wrote it here! This means that I now have to make that deadline. Very exciting.
And speaking of dates. March 1st 'Willa' will be done! All editing, designing, correcting etc will be finished by then. I am hoping to have the first screening even before that date. I did announce on Facebook that a screening date would be revealed soon but a venue has been harder for me to locate than I thought so I'm afraid I'll have to keep people hanging a bit on that one
