The Poster

b-roll is enuf!!!!!!!!!

so today we finally finished the damn b-roll! For anyone who was following the saga, we have been trying to shoot this b-roll for the past 2 weeks, but the damn weather didn't want to help us. We needed blue blue skies and finally Monday we got them. We replaced what we could, and now we are DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhh it feels great! a huge relief... of course this won't last long because we have a ton of things to do. What, you ask? let me give you a brief list so you can understand what me and the team are doing everyday.

We just hired our publicists, which we are thrilled about!!! Falco Ink., welcome to the team. They are the real deal people: they have worked on MANY successful films and they are very very excited to be working on the film, and we are thrilled to have them.

Okay the TO DO list:
Finalize poster (which looks HOT!)
send kyle pics so he can upload to website
meet with Gil (composer) to go over second round of notes.
return camera
pick up 40 DVD from Indiepix
deal with Colombian government to get a travel grant
call the ambassador of Colombia
finalize space for our after party
design emailable e-vite for screening
make our press clips
deal with some major tech stuff for our on-line
talk with TAA

...you get the deal....lots of work that must get done...but again i am loving it..thriving off of it...

today my heart skipped a beat when I realized we are less than a month away from sharing this film to the world!

yeah boyeeeeee!!!!!!!!

The official trailer is up...hope you enjoy!

Dreamland

Now that we are at the final stages of entre nos we are entering a reality that changes by the minute. I have been unable to predict anything...I feel like I am a feather in a tornado, being turned every which way and not really having any power as to where I am going, or any idea as to where I may end up.

We have been showing the film to sales reps, publicists, film festivals and film lovers. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, more than I anticipated, more than I allowed myself to dream. Positive after positive response my feet began to lift off the ground and I was allowing myself to float into dreamland where everything was perfect and everyone loved everything about the film. Then this morning came a needle that popped my bubble...someone didn't like the film. I took the comments in stride, my skin is thick enough to take rejection, I've been in this business long enough to not allow someones opinion to ruin my day or shake me to my artistic core. Instead, I am grateful for being brought down to earth, grateful for being reminded to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground and to keep grinding.

So today it's back to the hustle and I'll leave the dreamland for when I sleep.

Laura makes the announcement...

Punch Drunk!

On a few minutes of sleep, Joe and I are as excited as can be, having officially let the film out of the edit room! It is now in the skillful hands of our sound designer and composer and then on to the colorist and title designer and so on and so on... I would not trade these last few days of sleeplessness and technical drama for anything because of the lessons learned. Paola, Michael, Joe and I are by no means finished, we still have work to do, but the finish line is near... Once it is crossed, it will be the next step in the life of this film that we are all so proud of and CANNOT wait to share with the world!!!!!

We are LOCKED!

It was a long hard road to travel....BUT today at 5:15pm, Gloria and I officially locked picture!!!! We had a very stressful weekend as we had MAJOR tech problems, but Joey and Gloria figured it out.

Tomorrow, our composer will get the film and start cracking on writing some beautiful music, our titles are already in the works, sound will be starting soon, the on-line is getting organized, and so that means that very soon YOU will be able to see it on the big screen.

Stay tuned so we can tell you where!
