Picture Wrap!

Hello, fans. Where the hell have we been? The past two months are an absolute blur. I realize we let you down on our promise to post a complete scene in April, but it’s for a good reason — we decided to finish editing the movie instead!

That’s right, we finally picture-wrapped this puppy (a week ago actually, but I’ve been recovering). Yes, we were the first feature-length film ever shot on the Canon 5D, but as long as it’s taken us to finish this sucker, it may as well be the last to be released! What can I say? I like to work at a leisurely pace. Truth be told, I don’t like doing anything half-assed, so I’d rather take an extra six months on the cut than shove an ok movie out the door.

We’ve come a long way on this little film of ours. Our very first cut was two hours and fifteen minutes! Now credits roll at minute 90. I couldn’t be prouder of this film, the cast, and all my collaborators, most of all editor Morgan English who did an amazing job piecing this thing together.

The movie isn’t finished, of course. Now comes the sound mix and the score, but we’re hoping to submit to Toronto this year, then Sundance and SXSW for 2011.

Check out the first draft of our poster:

Anyway, what else is going on?

Well, my wife Angelyn is now on strict bed rest finishing her own little project. Early labor set in a few days ago, so we’re trying to get Calliope to stay where she is for a week or two more. Lot’s happening in our house! Here’s a shot of Calliope from our last ultrasound (she has her mother’s nose).

Sorry again for disappearing on you, loyal fans, but I promise this wait will be worth it!

Sincerely,

Andrew

Friend of BELLY Shout Out: THORN @ Sunscreen!

04Another announcement! HOPE FOR A THORN (directed by our good friend Erin Kitzinger, shot by BELLY cinematographer Marco Cordero, and line-produced by yours truly) will be screening tomorrow at the Sunscreen Film Festival in St. Pete! This is a bit of an encore Gulf Coast performance for Erin’s award-winning film, as THORN recently sold-out and won the best dramatic feature audience award at the Gasparilla International Film Festival.

The film screens at 1:15pm, April 15, at the Muvico Baywalk 20. I’ll be on hand to answer questions about the production of the film. Please check it out if you’re in the area!
