I visited the Austin Film Society site today to see if they had announced the recipients of the TFPF Grants yet. They had. I hadn't heard anything from them, so I figured that was that - but halfway down the list, there was my name and the title of my proposed film, The Outlaw Son.
So now I need to dig up that wordy project description proposal I wrote for the project and remind myself what exactly it is that I'll be shooting this fall, on (for the first time) someone else's dime (well, at least in part). I'll post more about the project itself tomorrow, but at this point, I do know that James and Yen are onboard to help me produce it (and to make up most of the crew - get ready for some night shoots, Yen!).
Kat, Lorie and Stacy got a grant for jumping off bridges, too - I saw their names on the list before my own, and it's quite exciting to be in their company.
So: I've got one short film about digital stuff en process and another one about rib cages that I'm hoping to shoot in September, and I've also been managing to crank out an average of about a shot or two per week on the stop motion animated film...and now The Outlaw Son, which, if it turns out, should top everything else. It may not turn out, though. Oh, and Drift, which isn't really requiring a lot of work on my part at the moment but is still my priorité première. Am I officially booked yet? Well, no. Of course not.
James, incidentally, gave me the greatest gift imagineable the other week: a case of miniDV tapes left over from his documentary shoot. They've been tremendously enabling.
