Short Film Night at Natasha's
Last Wednesday was Short Film Night at Natasha's and, as promised, a full recap: first and foremost, it was a great atmosphere and you have to credit that to Justin Hannah and the staff at Natasha's. Everything came together to make a perfect event for indie film in Lexington, despite the nasty weather. It was great to meet a lot of filmmakers and film lovers. And, of course, it was great to enjoy five Kentucky-made indie shorts that played to an energetic and packed house. Age/Sex/Location, Consignment, Sour Notes, and Watch Me were the other four films that screened along with Bizarnival. I have a sneaking suspicion you'll get to see more than one of those films right here in upcoming Indie Wednesdays. I have an even sneakier suspicion that you'll see the first one this Wednesday.
WSF Housekeeping
Ben Affleck won the award for outstanding directorial achievement at the Director's Guild of America Awards on Saturday to follow up Argo's Best Picture win at the Golden Globes and goes in as a favorite for the same award at the Oscars. Uhhh, what's the best way I can put this? Ben Affleck highly-esteemed director > Ben Affleck, star of Daredevil.
There may be some Tech Talk this Tuesday regarding lots of camera news and scuttlebutt. And I believe that I can say with some certainty that you'll be getting a new VHessay this Saturday! Another hint? There may or may not be a Tom Skerritt sighting.
If you didn't catch it, Saturday I posted a little mini-doc I shot a couple of years ago about Street Scene, a store of all things vintage, in Lexington.
The Space Cops 4 edit is still going well. However, I have definitely decided to shoot future episodes in HD and then crop them down to 4:3. I need the extra color space and resolution for effects work. Mostly the chromakey.
Hey, did you know you can still hire us?
And last, but not least, Todd, Allen, and myself will be meeting in the next few days to discuss all possible productions for 2013 and prioritize the shooting schedule. We don't have the time or resources to produce nearly as much material as we'd like, so this is probably as important a "meeting" as we'll have all year. Will there be an ambitious short this year? Will we have something ready for the Danville Lawn Chair Film Fest? How far will we go down the Space Cops road? Do we have another web series up our sleeve? ...So much to discuss and I can't wait!
