A little taste of what’s going to hit your lips when we serve up the Four Week Feature. Piping hot from the griddle of our minds into the, the um, the mouths of your eyes. And into the digestive tract of your souls. And then into the sewage system of cinematic history!!
Oh yeah. I just wrote that.

New Project: Four-Week Feature!
June 20, 2010 at 12:00 pm | Posted in Keith Boynton | Leave a commentTags: feature film, four-week feature, Park City, speed filmmaking, Utah
Mike already teased this news last weekend, but now it’s time for the official announcement. We’re back, baby! Only this year, instead of lots of little bitty films, it’s going to be one big film. And instead of the whole summer, it’s August! And instead of Brooklyn, it’s Utah! But other than that, everything is exactly the same!
Our new endeavor is called the Four-Week Feature, and in many ways, it’s a crazier venture than 12in12. The pitch is this: ten of us will gather in Park City, Utah this August, where we will write, shoot, edit, and score a full-length movie in a mere four weeks. To celebrate this exciting new project, we’ve launched a new website, over at FourWeekFeature.com. Check it out! And if you’d really like to get in our good graces, you can head on over to our Kickstarter campaign and pledge money to support the cause. Every dollar helps!
The team members will be familiar to anyone who followed 12in12. It’s:
- me;
- Mike Lavoie;
- James Fauvell (“Sublet,” “Spirits,” “Magic Marker” );
- Michael Redfield (“Captivated,” “Hero by Proxy,” “The Jogger” );
- Brigitte Choura (“The Proposal,” “Hero by Proxy,” “Thirsty Work” );
- Derek Van Gorder (“Spirits,” “Moving Pictures,” “Magic Marker”);
- Clint Byrne (“Script 2,” “The Proposal,” “Hero by Proxy”);
- Sumi Lee (“Old Love,” “Captivated,” “The Jogger”); and
- Chad Sonenberg (“Script 2,” “Moving Pictures,” “Hero by Proxy”).
Now, I know what you’re thinking: isn’t that only nine people? You are very astute; we’re still waiting to hear back from the tenth. Keep watching our new blog for updates. And tell your friends!

R.I.P. Richard Isaacs — actor, tango dancer, wonderful man
June 16, 2010 at 12:00 pm | Posted in Keith Boynton | 4 CommentsTags: death, mourning, obituary, passing, Richard Isaacs, RIP
It is with great sadness that we report that Richard Isaacs, who appeared in our films “Sublet” and “Magic Marker,” passed away on April 30th, 2010, after a two-year battle with leukemia.
Mike and I saw Richard only three times: at the 12in12 audition, and on the two shoots he participated in. Each time he was courteous, sprightly, and a consummate professional. I remember falling behind schedule on the “Sublet” shoot, and feeling more and more guilty about wasting Richard’s time. Finally, I took a moment to step aside and apologize to him. “Are you kidding?” he said. “This is how it is!” And I instantly felt better. There was such a calm assurance about him that it was hard not to be relaxed in his presence.
Here are Mike’s memories of Richard:
The parts Richard had were small, but I don’t think he looked at them that way. A lesser actor would have just have gone through the motions and been on his way, but Richard wanted to get it just right.
At the end of the shoot, he smiled, shook my hand, thanked me and exited stage left. It was a pleasure working with him. He was a true professional.
Richard’s tango-dancing friends are planning to hold a celebration of his life at the end of the summer. If we can get our hands on the details, we’ll post them in this space.
Rest easy, Richard. You will be missed.
