Passion, humility, and kindness are characteristics that I see in my actors. I appreciate them for their talent, time, and commitment to aiding us in the production of this film. We had an amazing turnout for the auditions ad we appreciate everyone who auditioned for the parts of Alex and Eric.
Please allow me to introduce:

First, let me say that make-up can be a loooong, grueling process. I am happy that I was not the one in the chair. Today, we did a make up test for Eric Zann’s transformation. This process, not including minor mistakes, can take anywhere from 2 1/2 hours – 3 hours. Our test was 2 1/2 hours long.
Our wonderful makeup [...]
This could not have been a better week. Besides the back, the forth and the in between that we have been experiencing with finding our Eric Zann, it’s looking real good. We have established a connection with a prop house that will provide 95% of the props and costumes required for the shoot. Like always, we have had a minor [...]

We learned that we need to [...]

We have the most actors involved and have the most complicated set design, as we have to build are own mountain top with our bare hands. Even though we have a larger scope we have been able to [...]

As the weeks pass by like tumble weeds in the mid-west, the production of our little film petered on its way facing the ups and downs with the courage of a tin soldier. We’ve cast the majority of actors, have our location to shoot and storyboards should be making their special appearance any time now. However, the film is only [...]
What does it feel like when you are going insane?
What if you are the sane one, but everyone around you is barking mad?
What if you just can’t tell which one of the above is true anymore?
These are some of the questions that came up in our latest brainstorming session, and while we are reasonably certain that our mental facilities are [...]
