Home Stretch

This weekend we finally completed the final mix of the sound. It has been a long process with a few late nights and technical problems. But both me and my mixer/ friend Raj are very happy with how it all sounds.

Which takes me into the home stretch. The movie is edited, sound mixed, and color timed, which means all of the major creative work is done. Now all that's left is the technical jive that gets the movie ready for viewing.

So the next few weeks are moving the film and sound from one production house to another, transfering and such, and then the screening on the 23rd.


But now my biggest goal is to raise a little more moolah, and get the film out to Sundance (The deadline is on the 21st of September).

Color Timing

I saw my film projected on a large screen for the first time today. I have been seeing it on tiny computer screens and low resolution DVDs for the past year. It was incredible. Every scene looks fantastic and the ones that I had been thinking "maybe it's too dark" or "maybe it's not warm enough" we were able to fix.

I'm very excited about finishing.
