Have fun watching this behind behind the scenes shooting "A Line in the Sand."  We were in the middle of a 2 week shoot in West, Texas and took a break and headed to Austin for a little RnR.  Ended up at the Hippie Chapel at Taco Express.  No kiddin'- get a marg. and a burrito and enjoy some real good toe tappin', foot stampin' gospel music... They say Austin is like Boulder on steroids... I think they might be right! It was so weird and so fun couldn't help but…

Filmmakers supporting filmmakers at the March Incie Mtg!  This put the “Hell Yeah!” in networking… Vincent Gonzales, assistant director from Hollywood feature films and TV shows such as Boston Legal, The Walking Dead, Grey’s Anatomy, and Charmed… spoke at the March 15 Boulder…

As creatives we spend a lot of time asking the question “how?”  How did that writer surprise me like that?  How did that director balance those performances?  How did that producer raise that money? How did the cops see that paper bag under my seat?  We all want to know the secret handshakes and passwords.  (BTW, “Oh, that’s for my Mom’s glaucoma is NOT a secret password that usually works).

Questions like that are important.  After all, to get better at what we love, we need…

I just finished watching PATANG at Boulder’s Dairy Center for the Arts.  There are two more showings on Saturday, March 2.

PATANG (The Kite) submerges the viewer in a sea of saturated colors and striking textures.  On a typical micro-indie budget, the DP used inexpensive HD cameras and practical/or natural lighting.  You wouldn’t know it, though.…

If you could learn the secrets of filmmaking, what questions would you ask a successful, indie Writer/Director?  How to raise funding?  How to get into Top Tier Film Festivals?  How to get distribution?  What gear to use?  How to attract talent?  Just what would you like to know?
