It has, of course, been far too long since my last blog post. And to say that I'm going through writing withdrawal would be an understatement. If the cliche fits, wear it: better late than never.
We shot my feature film Surviving Family from July 12 through August 5; it was an exhausting, exhilirating, and enormous undertaking. I don't know if I'll ever do it again, but I'm glad to have done it at least once.
The cast was amazing (lead by Sarah Wilson, Billy Magnussen, Tara Westwood, Bill Sage, JD Williams, Johnny Hopkins, Vincent Pastore and Phyllis Sommerville), and the crew - led by director Laura Thies and DP Tim Naylor - was terrific. Check out the website at www.survivingfamily.us
We're hoping to finish post-production by the end of January 2012. Then the battle for fest acceptances and distribution...but more on that later.
