We finished filming CONTRACTS on June 23rd - a happy day of filming all night long and in to the wee hours of the morning. Tied up loose ends, hugs around, and a fantastic film is now in the can waiting on the birthing process of the edit.
CONTRACTS was shot entirely on the RED MX camera with Zeiss Super Speed lenses - mostly working at the wide open end of these vintage pieces of glass - and mostly hand held (by design - not by limitation). Lighting was mostly practicals and a little reinforcement of real locations with slightly larger sources - with a few exceptions where that just wouldn't work for the story.
I am very proud of my team and the work we all did on CONTRACTS - really looking forward to its release so I can buy my mom a ticket and go sit with her and watch it! :)

Finally!
So its official - financing? Check! Stars attached? Check! Lights! Camera! WAIT!
What? No "Action"? Nope - not till later this year for "Work Release" - pre production this summer, filming in the fall. Not wanting to let time and actors' talents slip away from us, we started another project - "An All Night Affair". A lovely film about some very sordid and devastating events - and the people that live through them. See the red razor films site (www.redrazorfilms.com) and check out the frame grabs from An All Night Affair. Its pretty, but more than that, it is human and frail.
On the other side of the coin, there has been so much going on its hard to remember to keep up with the site. I need to cut new reels for all this material, need to buy new hard drives (ran out of space and had to start chucking old work to the bin - which is fine, its like spring cleaning!) Old work: its good to see how far you've come, and where you need to go, but its not so good to show!
Heading down to Georgia for most of March - filming in N. GA for a film - that came by way of New York. Funny rathole: the director asked me if I'd ever been to Georgia (I grew up in Atlanta and played all over North Georgia as a kid). It will be nice to go back with camera and lenses to film some potentially stunning footage. Very exciting!
Commercials, films, TV Shows, color grading - all else is same old same old - just a lot more and almost all working with established clients.
I need an executive producer. Any one know one with good agency connections?
