What You're Ready For - Pre-production
Between my writing duties, post production on "ClimaXXX: a love story" and recent music video pitch sessions, I am ramping up work on "What You're Ready For", another short film based on the brilliant writing of 'kilter: 55 fictions' author, John Gould. Lately I've been busy assembling crew, scouting locations, booking equipment and mapping out how the hell we're going to get it all done the way I want on the very tight buget and schedule we have locked ourselves into. I think that's what 'Independent' really means: never having enough money, time or other resources to be able to pull the film or movie off, but then just doing it anyway. So... Independent = stupid & stubborn. Yeah, that's pretty much me. The current unsigned contract between Canada's Actors Union (ACTRA) and the Canadian Film and Television Production Association (CFTPA), may very well force unwanted changes in our schedule. All film and television productions, large and small, across the country, are pretty much in the same boat here... so I don't feel all that special.
I leave you with a little taste of "What You're Ready For" in the amazing storyboard work of Artist and Illustrator, Al Berg. Enjoy.
