So, once up on a time in Mexico (actually, Texas) there was a young filmmaker who threw caution to the wind and said, “I’ll just do it all, dammit.”
While I’m not RobRod, I’ve “attended” his ten minute film school and I embrace a similar philosophy. To me, it’s about getting it done. If that means doing it your damn self, then so be it.
Due to some communication error and, well, life… I’ll be taking up the DP position for this movie. Since my last picture, I’ve taken a lighting workshop and read up on some, you know, stuff. I know this doesn’t make me a BAMF cinematographer, but I’m in this to learn and do and express. So, hot diggity.
This also means I have 36 hours to fiddle with and learn all about the little baby HD Canon VIXIA I’ve acquired. It’s tiny, but totally capabale.
I do this movie making thing because I want to tell stories, because I want to share my inside jokes with the rest of you, because I love the process.

If you’ll excuse me, I have to go play around with this camera.

So, the time has come. Principle photography begins on Wednesday. About a half dozen things have gone wrong this weekend alone. And I’m about to lose my mind.
And you know what? I’m thrilled. For some reason, this frantic energy is what I thrive on.
Just a quick reminder, if you’ve been meaning to donate and support us, there is still time. Just click the link to the right left and it’ll route you right over to PayPal.
The independent spirit is all about getting it done and embracing the process. There are always complications and there are always solutions. Projects like this just a big puzzle, looking to be solved.
I look forward to it.
