Hannah And Her...
Shortly before LOL had its local premiere this evening, Joe wrapped production on his followup feature, Hannah Takes The Stairs. I meant to link to his production journal back when principal photography first began, but I guess I got too caught up in reading it to comment on it, and now everyone's beaten me to the punch. Nonetheless: if you haven't been reading it, there's no better time to catch up than now. Just as with the LOL journal last year, this production has been an inspiring one to follow along with. Joe's filmmaking process seems so damn enriching. I think one of my new goals in life is to be in (or at least on the set of) one of his next films. Until then, I'm looking forward to seeing this one.
Last year, I was planning to play catch-up with my friends and have another feature of my own ready to lens by the end of this summer. Those plans have fallen by the wayside (for, I think, a fairly decent reason), but I'm regrouping and rescheduling and rewriting and hoping that within the next twelve months, I'll be prepping something new. Until then, I've got a few more shorts to shoot, including one that will require two rolls of 16mm film, 120 feet of dolly track and an October sky.
I received a Writers Guild Membership package in the mail today. I didn't think I qualified for being a full blown word teamster, but I guess I was wrong. The application and its many, many pages of legalese (not to mention the apparently pressing deadline for filling it out and returning it) is scaring me. On the other hand, the packet includes guidelines for registering a legal pseudonym (for crediting purposes). That sounds like fun. It stipulates that the pseudonym must be within reason, but it doesn't give any examples. I wonder how far I could push it?
