What’s that you say?  Our website?!  Ah, yes – our revamped, redesigned, easy-to-use website.  I love it so much I want to marry it.  Special thanks to the guy I actually did marry, who masterminded the new look.  

Well, we’ve got two big Troublemaker screenings left this month!  Just got back from Chicago’s awesome festival, CSAFF, and the reception to the film was AWESOME.  What a great Chicago audience!  I got asked some insanely insightful questions in the Q&A, and those guys really seemed to get the movie.  I got to see some …

I almost titled this post “learning the back end,” but thought that didn’t sound quite…propah. I haven’t blogged since April, but there have been many Troublemaker updates this summer!  There will be  announcements over the next month or so, so stay tuned. What have I been up to?  Well, after meeting and speaking with countless …

Well, the amazing Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles closed on Sunday, and I’m still recovering from the fun and chaos.  This festival is close to my heart – I’ve been going as an attendee for years, and it was such an honor to be there with “Troublemaker!” I saw a slew of fantastic films, …

So! Troublemaker ran to rave reviews and successful screenings at Cinequest!  It was a whirlwind.  The festival was so good to us, and it was a great place to debut the film.  Each of our evening screenings were packed, and our Monday afternoon was over half full, which I hadn’t expected for a weekday.  And …

Woohoo! We will be having our world premiere at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose! We’re part of the Maverick competition, so keep your fingers crossed. The festival takes place from March 1st – March 13th, so Bay Area folks, keep your calendars open.  Screening times are posted on the website, and you can …

Ahhh, the life of an indie filmmaker. Rejection, rejection, rejection and then…acceptance! A few festivals are screening our movie this spring. I finished the trailer a few weeks back and was all excited to post it, and then realized that I should think about my marketing/selling strategy before releasing stuff to the general public…I’m learning …

Time has FLOWN.  Less than a year ago, the Troublemaker process began in earnest, and now, here I sit: exhausted.  I thought I was tired after the shoot wrapped in March.  And the crazy part is that the process is still going – though the film is done, color-corrected, sound mixed, and out the door, …

Nearly two months since we wrapped!  Can’t believe it.  Time has flown, and is flying, right by my window.  I’m spending nearly every waking moment in post-production hermit-hood: editing, emailing post-prod people, calling and researching rates, all that good stuff, and all from the comfort of my very own home “office.”  So far, I’ve only …

Amazing – after 19 days of solid shooting, we’re done! The culmination of years of writing and months of planning…done. Weeks of scouting, shooting, eating crafty, stressing about shots, barely sleeping…done. The film is in the can! And now the editing fun begins! In the meantime, I’d been taking notes throughout the shoot and now …
