Editing and hermit-hood

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 …

WRAPPED! And tales from the shoot.

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 …

The Homestretch…

We have five days left to go, and we’ve all been working hard and playing hard!  I’ve been checking out the footage each week as we run the backups, and I’m itching to get editing…though I’ll probably take at least a few days off in between…yeah, a few days off sounds pretty good. After today, …

Blog-o-rama

Damn!  Already almost halfway through the shoot – and as I mainline coffee, it’s time for some updates about how the shoot is going!  Short answer – awesomely well.  Our cast and crew are kicking ass, and even during the stressful times, I’m grateful to have everyone’s excellent attitudes to remind me that we’re doing …

One week to go!

Phew! Back at the computer for a brief moment, making lists, updating things, and responding to zillions of emails. My lists these days also include showering, just to make sure it doesn’t slip my mind in the midst of everything else. So, a few changes, a few updates! Our leading lady, Pranidhi Varshney, comes to …

Casting, cars, and caffeine

I’m sitting on the floor, surrounded by headshots, drinking from a gigantic cup of coffee that I’ve reheated about twenty times, listening to extremely unhip music.  Let’s just say…”Africa.”  That’s right, the one by Toto.  I’m singing along, too. We had our first round of auditions this past week (thanks to everyone who came out …

The Fantastic Jesse Garcia!

Great news!  We are proud to announce that Jesse Garcia (Quinceñeara, La Misma Luna) is attached to play “Omar” in our film!  Jesse is an extremely talented actor, and we’re very lucky to have him on board. Stay tuned for more actor news soon – and more news in general.  We’re moving fast here, people!

Onwards and Upwards

Another week of working at breakneck speed for Troublemaker!  There’s literally nothing I’d rather be doing – except maybe sleeping in sometimes… I had a screening of my short film last weekend, and some of the questions I was asked made me even more determined to make Troublemaker, and to keep writing movies that have …

Welcome!

Welcome to Troublemaker!  We’ll be adding updates, deep thoughts, and general info about the movie and where we are with it.  Also, tell your rich relatives about us! In the immortal words of Mortal Kombat: It has begun.
