Hey folks, I'm excited to say that as of right now we are less than a week away from our last shooting date for "Lonely Love." What started out as scheduling issues back in March soon escaladed to one of our lead actor's backing out because of other commitments. We didn't waste any time, though - we recasted the role (selecting Jeremy Harrison, a great actor and a great guy) and picked up shooting and reshooting the very next week. Ultimately, the little snags we have run into along the way have turned out to be worth it; there is definitely much better chemistry on screen from the two leads and overall great performances from everyone involved. We only have two more reshoots to do and then we dive into post. Yippee.In other news, our film for this last RiM 50-Hour Film Festival, called "Dissociation," was a great experience for us as well. We worked with Melissa Lowe, who is also our other lead in "Lonely Love," and Greg Savage, another actor and a very cool guy. We filmed at Georgia State University, since one of the required elements was that the film including something quintessential to Atlanta, and we finished up at our house in Fayetteville. Greg was slightly rushed since he was also set to act in another team's RiM film that same day, but he didn't let it affect his performance at all and I think he even ran a little late for us. The film didn't get the audience award or enough wildcard votes, but we were happy with the finished project.As we continue working on "Lonely Love," we are slowly getting our ducks in a row for one of our ancient scripts called "The Brook." Our producer, A.J. Blizzard, has been working on pre-production for the film for almost a year now, contacting location managers and attorneys and the such. Just last month, we registered the script with the Writer's Guild so that we can begin shopping it around as we meet with potential investors and try to get this project out of the attic and into the light.
Stay tuned for more updates on "Lonely Love" and "The Brook"!
