Onward

My short film, 'On a Sunday,' wrapped last Saturday night, actually early Sunday morning, at 12:15 a.m. A whole day ahead of schedule.

The whole movie hinges, (as it should), on the climax scene. Throughout development and preproduction I was worried that the director and actors might not capture the subtlety of the climax scene in which a boy comes to appreciate his dad for the man he is rather than the man he wants him to be. Unfortunately I wasn't on location as they shot the scene, but the first words out of the directors mouth when I called him the next day were: "That scene, the climax? We nailed it."

Now the film stock goes off to the lab, as we eagerly wait for the chance to take a look at what we've got.

Approval for a script development grant for our feature, 'Effective Immediately,' came Monday morning right on the heels on the 'On a Sunday' shoot. Which is just perfect. As our focus shifts from short to feature we actually have money to carry us along.
