It's Zombie time!

The pre production for the zombie narrative is now in motion. Shoot dates are set and casting has begun. I am so excited to be apart of this project. It continually surprises me how much I love filming. I not only love the post production of a film but pre production and filming on set. There's so much energy around putting an idea in action and making it a reality. Tonight we found some extras to be zombies, talked about the film deadlines and schedule as well as zombie make-up that is needed along with props. There is a zombie make-up test that I will be helping with this Friday. I can't wait. My plan is to film my cousin putting the make-up on an extra. I want to use the footage in the documentary I plan to create about zombies being a huge phenomenon among our culture today. I will be killing two birds with one stone as the famous saying goes. Both helping with the make-up test for the narrative and getting B-roll for my documentary. It's important to have this skill of doing two things at once when filming. Time is always an issue when producing movies. 


A quick update on the reality show project: The job hasn't fallen threw yet but it also hasn't moved forward either. We shall see what comes of it in the next week. If nothing happens to make this film set in stone then I am dropping the idea of working on it.


I think a new project is coming into the picture, however. A friend of mine wants to make a short drama. We are both really excited about this idea we have. We won't be getting paid but it doesn't matter considering how passionate and energetic we feel about it. The story line goes a little something like this: An old man living at a retirement home has only a short amount of time to live. He believes he is an alien and has to build a space ship to get back to his kind. He is having his grandson bring him things from the junk yard to help him build this ship in his closet. Meanwhile the new caretaker is watching all of this and grows fond of the old man and the his grandkid. What happens in the end? Does the old man die? Does he really fly away into the universe? Stay tuned and answers will soon unfold.
