I'm pretty new to blogging, but I want to start putting down some thoughts about the things I'm passionate about. Film is definitely very high on that list for me, so this is really a the start of something I hope to contribute a lot to going forward.
I graduated from RIT in 2002 with a BFA in Film and have years of experience in video/television production but unfortunately didn't pursue it as a long term career (took a side bar into IT and currently work professionally in IT), but now years later I've finally reconnected with the local production community and rekindled my fire for film, both in front and behind the camera.
So far last year I've only been in or on a few small productions but currently I'm working on a local independent feature titled "The Dead Deads" - a drama/suspense(and a touch of horror) film produced by a couple of talented local guys under the name Werewolf House. So far it's been an amazing project and I'm really excited to be part of it. I think the ultimate plan for the project is to run the festival scene. (Werewolf House's Facebook Page).
On this project I started as a sound assistant and potentially a small on screen role, but as the project developed I've been lucky enough to help out with most areas of the production, most shooting days doing sound either assisting or primary, but I've also done camera and lighting several times. I keep trying to strong arm the guys into letting me take a shot at editing but we'll see how that goes.
I'm also currently working on several scripts to get my own project going, but I can't seem to solidify my various ideas into one exciting lead script that I can run with. Hopefully my scatter brain will get that figured out soon so I can take advantage of the great summer months for shooting.
I also love movies and plan to post my ramblings on the various movies I watch. I love doing reviews as I like to get discussions going from both a filmmaker and viewer perspective. Since most reviews I find on the web are one or the other I'm hoping that will make these a little more unique.
Well that's all for now, stay tuned as I update on all fronts!
