Let It Shine...

The fundraiser we held at Sanborn's was a success! All but one of Brett's photos sold and we raised the money we needed! Thank you for your support, those who attended. It was a lot of fun to see everyone there.

Filming in Baker City could not have gone smoother, as well as the shoots in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. We saw bears everyday including a mother black bear with her two tiny cubs and a grizzly chasing a river otter along the banks. River otter escaped, I'm happy to announce.

We have about 5 more days of filming... big scenes tomorrow with Justin King at our Beaverton location. Can't wait!

In other news- my comedy script SPIFF is an official selection and semi-fianlist in the SoCal Independent Film Festival. That was totally unexpected and out of left field- that email made my day. We'll see what happens... The adaptation I co-wrote is making its own path for itself- more to come on that next month.

Please follow our film at www.lightofminemovie.com for updates and photos on what we're doing...

Okay, it's official- we're filming in August! We've got a lot of work to do leading up to that point but we're confident.

I'll be accessible via our film's website (not launched yet) for blogs and updates...

Be nice, be loving, and be kind.

Detour!

Wow- things change quick around here! The film is undergoing some big rewrites. Nothing that changes the story structure or plot- just some huge character fine-tuning. We're pushing that project out further. We realize to do it right we can't rush this one.

On the other hand, another project has come up that we're aiming for an August start date. Brett and I've been talking about this particular story forever and now we're putting the wheels in motion to make it happen. We have a window of opportunity, potentially some amazing super awesome talent (we haven't gotten a 100% commitment but we're working on them), and a great story.

We have a meeting set up with talent next week and have to do some major fundraising asap. Aiming for $10,000 but initially need $5,000 for the production. Stay tuned for a letter writing campaign and sponsorship information!

We've had the flu for the past week or so... I forgot what it's like to be this sick. I had pneumonia back in '98 and it was a cakewalk compared to this. No joke. Off to blow my nose and then a dr appointment in the morning. Glad the weather has finally turned around. We never had Spring- now we're having the first sunny/pleasant day mid-June. Lame. I feel cheated.
