New start

Okay so it's been a month already since I wrote the last post. Sorry for being lazy, or should I say busy... Yes believe it or not I've finally started getting busy. After two awfully slow months, march proved a little better. Our film now has a title: "Puffer Fish" is almost done with post production and we just obtained the rights to two great songs for it. We're very happy. My involvement in it was as the lead actor as I mentioned in my last post. It was fun but I don't know how soon you'll see me stepping in front of the lens again...I was also credited as a producer which is nice and something I can actually throw on my resume. As soon as we have a trailer online I'll post a link here. We'll start submitting it to film festivals shortly.
Aside from "Puffer Fish", I put a lot of time and effort in a project that I am not to disclose any information about (yes I signed a contract). All I can say is that it was a time consuming yet fulfilling experience. As director of photography I had to learn and use a 3D modeling software to design the set and was given a lot of freedom with lighting. So I had a good time and our producers were very happy.
As for these days I'm prepping a feature that I will be chief lighting technician on (sounds way more important than "gaffer"). We start next week so a lot of my time has been put into getting the equipment list together with the DP. I'm also learning about scaffolding as we'll need to have light fixtures 20ft up in front of second floor windows.
I also updated my website with some new pictures and subtle enhancements. This one to the left I took just over a year ago in Lesotho. Probably my favorite one. Such warm and welcoming people. The kids are adorable and so excited to see foreigners. I need to write more about our trip down there. Another thing on my list. In the meantime I'm trying to get caught up with everything else before next week when my life will be stripped away from me for the shoot.
All else is good. Ideas have been brewing in my head lately and I'm getting close to wanting to sit down and start writing again. It's been a long time since I've put a story together. I think I'll approach things differently this time around. I want to take baby steps.
Alright this is about it for now. I'll try to get back here before the start of the shoot. All the best.
