“Script 2″ is posted, and Semester One is DONE!!!

Our sixth 12in12 film, Rick Lattimer’s “Script 2,” is up and running! This film marks the first time I’ve ever felt like a director-for-hire – in the sense that I had no hand whatsoever in developing the script. Heck, I’ve never even met Rick Lattimer. But I really hope he likes the movie. Me, I’m still not sure I understand it, but I find myself loving it more and more. Hope you feel the same!

Also available on YouTube.

This film marks the official halfway point of the 12in12 project. The last six weeks have been a complete whirlwind, and neither Mike nor I has any memory of them. We dimly recall having a wonderful time shooting a few movies, and a somewhat less wonderful time editing them. We have the vague sense of having worked with a couple dozen amazing people, who helped us and challenged us and made things fun. And I’m pretty sure there was a cucumber in there somewhere.

Beyond that, it’s all a blur. But no matter! The important thing is, we have one week to prep the next six movies, and we haven’t even decided what they are yet! The adventure continues …

We’re taking our scheduled week off as far as posting films, but we’ll continue to update the blog with pre-production tales, announcements of upcoming films, “film jargon” postings, reflections on the process so far, etc. Plus, we have a major announcement coming up in the next couple of days. So keep on checking! We’ll try and keep you entertained until the madness begins again.

Also, this seems like a good moment to say thank you to all of you who’ve been keeping up with the blog, watching the films, and/or giving us feedback. We really appreciate all your time and attention, and we’ll keep doing our best to reward it. It’s been a wild and sometimes painful ride, and it ain’t over yet, but you guys make it all worthwhile.

In the words of The Man himself: Excelsior!

I get it! But I am the cat, and will never tell.

Wow. Trippy:o) A great way to end semester one, and the premier of Darcy Boyton with handcuffs.
