I said this to my cast and crew as well - but I honestly cannot believe what started as a few notes in a composition book over 8 months ago and a conversation at the Clinton Hill Diner in Fort Greene (so good; so cheap awesome place for writing, FYI) has actually become a real tangible film! To be a part of this incredible process, with the best writer and director I could have ever imagined, has truly been a blessing for me.
Now the real work begins.
We have a feature to shoot ladies and gentlemen, and a lot of work still to do. I think we're going about it the right way though. We've decided between the three of us to allocate responsibilities. Jane is going to handle the festivals circuits, competition entries, and general film awareness. I'm going to be working on the business proposal - and our director is going to FINISH THE FILM (which is kind of important of course!).
The thing I'm most excited for is actually getting out there and networking with some amazing production companies and financiers. I spent a week in London at an NFTS workshop where all we did (mostly) was work on pitching exercises. I must have pitched to close to 25 people in the span of 5 days. Intense, but well worth it... hopefully I can put to good use what I learned.
Okay, I'm outtie. I'm going to leaving you with an article from Entertainment Weekly by Mark Harris (if the darn thing uploads) to keep in mind one of the focuses of this blog.
See you at the movies (I know I totally stole that.)
