Blood & Money

I'm currently here in Dallas working as a P2 tech (or data wrangler or on-set editor or whatever you want to call it) on my friend Barak's new film, a vampire comedy called Blood On The Highway. I was excited to learn that it's starring Nicholas Brendan, as I was a huge fan of Buffy The Vampire Slayer back in the day. Anyway, yesterday was the first day of shooting, and while I was driving to the set Yen called me to tell me that my name was on the list of recipients for the Texas Filmmakers' Production Fund. So now I guess I should officially mention that I'm still planning on shooting a feature film this year, and that the title of the film is St. Nick.

A huge thanks to everyone at the Austin Film Society, and to the panelists who chose my project, about which I'll have plenty more to say in the coming weeks. I may not be able to afford to live like a normal human being but, thanks to them, at least I can afford to keep making movies.

And hopefully, I'll still have a camera to make them with after this current shoot is over. Yesterday, I volunteered my HVX as the B-cam, whose duties included being strapped to the hood of a car and driven down the freeway at high speeds. Hooray for reckless shooting! Today, I wound up on the opposite side of the lens, playing a vampire. I got some dialogue and my own pair of bloody fangs and everything. It was awesome.
