Update!
September’s test screening at The College of New Jersey went very well. The film was shown to an audience of about 20 students. The overall consensus was that they could relate to the characters, the dialogue felt real, and (most importantly) the actors were believable as high school kids. ) But seriously, they liked it. And, in the case of the missing scene, I just inserted title cards to convey the lost info, which highly amused the viewers but apparently worked well.
My goal is to have an LA screening in Feb/Mar. Other than the missing scene, most of the post work that still needs to be done is the standard technical stuff. But, as it stands, it’s a highly watchable motion picture that’s already touched hearts of those who have seen it.
Meanwhile, several cast members have been generating buzz across the internet for themselves in other projects. Erica Rhodes has been hailed a comic genius, Heleya de Barros both produced and starred in a webseries that’s garnered a lot of positive attention, and Ben Whitehair let me pick his brain about internet marketing (I hear he’s been working regularly, too).

Greetings! After production wrapped, I fell into a “hiatus” which didn’t feel like a real hiatus, because I still had to go to work or whatever at some other job. But, things are rolling again on Javatown and this is a (very) rough cut of a scene from the film. (There’s also a temp track underneath it which will not be used in the final cut.)
Javatown: Day Three
Jeff finds people in his room. On his bed. Ew.
Tiny booze is better.
“Happy birthday!”
Javatown: Day Two
Sending “Greg” on a snack run.
DJ CJ is not amused.
It’s a lion’s den situation, for sure, Nancy.
Javatown: Day One
Amy and Jeff engage in an A and B conversation. So, C your way out of it.
Jeff prevents Thomas from pwning his ass by receiving sexts from random girl.
Party planning. It’s srs bsns.
The Unknown
I’ve been thinking about my character a bit lately and remembering back to the times when I felt a little more unsure of my future. The times when you know there is a vast ocean of opportunity ahead of you, but it’s hard not to be distracted by the cute girl in the rowboat with you. The times, even now, when you just want to live your life. When the moment right now is enough. Or not…
