Movies and Interviews

!!!!

Exclamation points seem to be the only fitting way to explain my life right now. Normally, I can't stand them(!) but now... I can't think of anything else to say. I will try to cover life in bullet points to make things easier:

  • Cole is currently in its third day of production(!). I was fortunate enough to be on set at the University of British Columbia. On Monday, we shot 7 3/8 pages of classroom scenes and on Tuesday, we shot 8 pages of exteriors on the beautiful campus. Samantha, who is in charge of filming the behind the scenes doc, came up to me yesterday and said I looked very happy. It's true, I couldn't stop smiling all day. And I got a sunburn. I will post some pictures and more about the experience soon... You can see the cast on the imdb.com page here, and check out the Cole the Movie page here.

  • My interview about my prize winning story, "Raising Awareness," is now posted on the NYC Midnight website here.

  • "Sleepless," is playing at the Seattle True Independant Film Festival on June 10th. I will be doing a short Q&A after the screening, so for those of you in Seattle, it would be awesome to have your support. You can buy tickets here.

Very Exciting Times...

The official shooting schedule for Cole is set! We start filming in Vancouver May 26th, shoot for a week and then move out to Lytton for the remainder. The scheduled wrap is June 14th. I plan on being there for about half the shoot and will see if I can post some pictures from the set. 

As Dylan says, this is very exciting times. 

In other very exciting news, NYC Midnight presented me with my grand prize check at the Seattle Film Race at the Egyptian Theater on Wednesday. I also had cornflake chocolate and a Sprite. I met some cool guys from Microsoft too. 

"Sleepless" is playing at the Seattle True Independent Film Festival June 10th at 6:15pm. I am told I will be doing a Q&A after the screening, so I will escape from Lytton and drive down to Seattle for that.  

Very Exciting Times.
