Action

So I'm less than twenty-four hours from the start of principle photography on "Undone", the first short film in the collective that will be known as aFilmAbout.us

Hindsight being 20/20, I realize I should have documented the process of getting here more thoroughly. It's such a small production that I've ended up doing a lot of the legwork myself, and this blog hasn't been too high on the list of priorities.

But I had a good night's sleep, I'm working on the shot list, and I'm feeling as prepared as I could be given the limitations and the other crap going on that has nothing to do with this production (and how on earth did Easter end up in March this year? I'm not saying that the Christian religion is arbitrary or anything, but come on...)

Not much more to say about it than that at the moment. The last few weeks have been all about being concerned with what could go wrong, but this last run up to the shoot my job is to be worried about what I can make go right. The train has left the station, the cards have been dealt - choose your metaphor, it's all the same. I have fantastic actors to work with, a dedicated crew that has gone above and beyond to make this weekend happen.

Let the chips fall where they may.

It starts tomorrow.

My name has traveled further than I ever will...







My Italian is non-existent, and BabelFish isn't much better, but as far as I can tell they're saying nice things about me.

The future isn't what it used to be, fellas.
