What's
Going On This Week?
Blog
for Friday August 22nd, 2008. I sat down with a few
of the staff and actors and watched the rough cut of the movie FOUR
ON THE FLOOR. Though a bit ragged around the edges (polish in
progress) it was like nothing else we have done so far; considering the
variety of styles we have pursued that is saying a lot.
Three things continue to blow my mind. 1.
The DEDICATION.
On every frame you can feel the hard work and passion mingled with an
enlightening burst of joy and fun that all the actors and staff are achieving
during filming. I listen to the music included from all the
up-and-coming-soon-to-be-discovered 2.
The GROWTH.
We are growing. To grow you have to be willing to plant seed, while weeding
something out. We plant new ideas and experimentation and we weed out the
things that just don’t work or maybe, right now, we just can’t do. Things
only get better when you are willing to admit they aren’t good. Don’t
cut yourself slack over your lack. Be
tough on yourself and then you will not have to hear it so much from others.
That’s what really pisses us all off! 3.
The BELIEF.
Everything of quality we do in our life demands an element of faith. Faith it
needs to be out there in the market. Faith that we can pull it off enough to
demonstrate what we mean. I
don’t trust people who don’t find the spiritual side to everything they
do. I cook a good dinner—I see God. I have a great trip—I feel God. I have
some fabulous sex—I thank God. Write
a good script—I am God. Mark
your calendar. September 13th, a Saturday this time. Two locations.
Watkins Film Institute in the evening and Shelbyville in the morning. You can
check the website for specifics and also check out the preview of FOUR
ON THE FLOOR. Between
the two theaters we only have 580 seats. Considering all the interested
parties I would buy my tickets early. So,
thanks to all the dedicated, growing believers out there who are joining us in
evolving movies. We are creating: Cinemore—cinema
with so much more for the human heart. P.S.
