A Quick Production Note from guest blogger Jon Moritsugu
Monday, August 2nd, 2010WE ARE ALMOST OFFICIALLY IN PRODUCTION!!! WOOOhoooooo! I am in a
little bit of shock still, cuz pre-production was sooo short… c’mon, three weeks for a feature?! Talk about procrastina… but this is the smoothest it’s ever been. Todd Verow gets here tomorrow and after some desert camera tests w/ Amy Davis and Victor of Aquitaine, we rock out for 11 days and walk away with feature shot. It’s working title:
PIG DEATH MACHINE… psychological horror flick with underlying screwball comedy tendencies.
The afternoon summer rains and lightning storms have arrived… gonna look sick on digital. Can’t wait to start shooting with those New Mexico 100 mile views.
