The Ongoing Conversation

By way of Ted Hope:

I don’t think film-going is any more a passive experience than filmmaking is, and cinema is where creation and consumption unite. If we embrace the active spirit of film-going, if we accept that there is a quiet dialogue running in the heads of all audiences, we are going to start to find some answers on how we – the filmmakers – survive this vast paradigm shift our culture is now engaged in – because I am confident we are not just going to survive, but we are going to prosper and bring better work to more audiences in all sorts of new ways....

If a diverse film culture is going to flourish in this country, we have to move to a new model where filmmaking is a process, an ongoing conversation between the filmmakers and their various audiences. That is the new model I hope you can embrace when you walk out of here tonight...

ADR with Hawaii actors last week was a success. Thanks to Brandon, Chanelle & James for their great work, and a HUGE thank you to Jon Yamasato, who allowed us use of his recording studio for our ADR session. Jon, you are now an expert dialogue recordist.

Sung Rok Choi is currently putting together our sound edit, Boon Sim is working on our score, and next week we will be having our online & color correction session at Primary 3. Almost done, people!

Incredible MV by Patrick Daughters. TWO WEEKS by Grizzly Bear. I've been kinda iffy on Grizzly Bear, but I now understand that I was wrong.
