First Production Meeting Held, Mopitz on Board

We met at La Creperie Café in Long Beach to get the basics organized. Yummy crepes by the way. Michelle Opitz comes on board to help produce the film. We have previously worked together on Aimee's doc about Amy Holden Jones. Michelle graduated from AFI in the directing program and went to Chapman for her undergrad. We're thrilled to have her.

Holidays! Holidays!

Been eating like a pig, but who's complaining? Nothing gets done between Christmas and New Year's day. It's just an unsaid rule. Well, I broke it (just a little) working on a short, short film called "Red." It started out as a camera test for Justify but found a story in there. Waste not. Well, add some sound, music, chop it up, and voila!...a short film. Shoot, now there's a deadline for a film festival.

Distribution Day

Just got a few emails from Rome. Signing a distribution agreement with the Rome Independent Film Festival for three short films. The Box, Good Vibrations, and 3:05. This is a fun and wonderful opportunity for mobile content and the internet. I knew there was a market for short films! It's interesting now the conduit is finally catching up to the content. Viva technology!
