Our second film lives! And you thought we were going to quit after one week!
Each week we are planning to work with a few new collaborators and this week was no different. I was privileged to direct two fabulous actresses; Genevieve Kolve, who blew us away during our marathon auditions several weeks ago and Julia Joyce-Barry, an old friend of Keith’s who stepped up to the plate for a minor role and nailed it. Also on board for the first time were DP Adam Raia, PA John Podgursky and rounding out the newbies, ASD was scored by talented musician and tango dancer Thomas Sullivan, whom I first met at the Esper Studio several years ago.
It’s a long, whirlwind adventure we’re on and it’s so important to have good traveling companions. So far we’re 2 for 2!
Give ASD a gander and let us know what you think. Thanks!

I know, right? He’s everywhere! We keep trying to exclude him from our films, but somehow he always winds up in there …
