SCREENING ANNOUNCED

So I am here to announce the Screening for "Crackin' The Code"

April 18th here in Beautiful Downtown Beaverton at The Kingstad Center! www.kingstad.com

We are actually going to be holding two screenings on that day. One for friends and family, and one for Cast, Crew, Press, Supporters, and Invited VIP's. Times to be announced later...

In addition we are awaiting acceptance to the Brooklyn International Film Festival, and final confirmation on Cairo.

Chris Davis (Editor) and I have spent the last week reworking the films sound...laying in ADR and Foley...and Galvin (DP) has been color correcting...and, damn, this film is looking great and sounding better then before!

I was also informed that I will be joining the staff for this summer's Film Camp (Check it out HERE). I will be teaching Acting for Film for teenagers 13-17 here in Portland, and I am psyched to be a part of it.

Another recent development is that I have been invited to be the exclusive casting director for KPDX/FOX in-house commercial division. I am excited to be involved with this team and am looking forward to casting tons of locals in some local commercials...Ye-Ha!

More to come...stay tuned!

Updates Galore!!!

ZAP, ZAP!!!!!
Ah...can it be? Another update so soon? Yep.
ADR is done, dialogue is layed in and synced out to audio tracks and now Mik...the amazing...is laying them in and mixing them down.
On the picture front...
Chris Davis is laying in "The Mercedes Rose Show" A fictitious cable access show which plays in the background of one of the scenes in the film. One has to wonder if the entire show might be featured on the DVD....maybe! It stars one of Portland's most workinest actresses and features a surprise guest. More on that later.
Galvin Collins is deep in color correction folks. making an already pretty picture gorgeous.
And me?
Well, Patricia Adkins and I are negotiating with a prominent 60/70's sci-fi writer to acquire the rights to adapt one of his novels into a film. More on that as it develops. Teee Heeee!!!!!
Keep checking back for "Crackin' The Code" screening dates and times to be announced soon.

Steve

Post Production Sound? Hells Yes!

Long time no Blog...so everyone keeps asking: "When's the film gonna be done?" I have an answer!!!
We will have the film finished and ready to be seen on March 16th. As it stands now, we are finishing up the post production sound. ADR and Foley...Music it's all here!!!!
We have a deadline to make a festival in EGYPT! We are an official selection of the International Film Festival in Cairo in April, so it is a race to the finish line now...and all the actors who hopped beyond hope that we wouldn't have to do any ADR are all huddling around a mic and re-recording their lines. But check out our laurel!

Very exciting to receive this official notification. We will keep you updated as things progress....including the announcement of the when and where we will be screening here in Portland. It is almost here.

Rough Edit Viewed and Reviewed

So with a huge pot of Jambalaya on the stove, coupled with some of Gea's amazing Sweet Potato Biscuits...we all sat down to watch the rough edit of the film on Saturday afternoon.
When I say rough edit I refer to the state of the sound as we have picture at 99% at this point. And we have lined up a sound designer who is excited to get things crackin'!

Overall the film worked like a charm...I was so proud of the work everyone did and I am excited by the response we got form the "Test Audience"...tons of laughs. Once we have sound locked (fixed) we will have a formidable film that I think will find an audience very easily.

I am looking forward to showing the film to a large audience soon.

New Pod Cast Available

Last night my editor GB Barker sat me down for a Pod Cast session. She proceeded to interview me about the film and it's progress....We had a nice chat and some fun too. You can check it out at www.switchpod.com or on itunes...just search for "Crackin' The Code" on either site and you will be directed to it. If you haven't become a follower of it, do so. It is worth it...LOL
