Updates and Progress…Obolo Films

It’s been so long since I have written anything here. It seems like whenever I have a
project on my plate, it almost always crashes and burns. Having had the opportunity
to sit with Bret Ratner, I learned to always have 3 to 5 things on the agenda and throw them all against the wall and see what sticks.

Since Current TV picked up “10 Minute Date”, I have been hired to do another short
doc called “Big Sister” that I have completed and delivered. I will leave a link as soon
as I get the finished project uploaded. “10 Minute Date” and “Big Sister” will be airing on Current TV in August.

I have also been commissioned to do another short doc by Current TV called “For Richer
or For Poorer” (working title). I will be uploading the treatment and production notes in a week or so.

“No End: Short Story”

This is my first (real) production; it is a short film, with only ambient sound and no talking, about a woman who has a ritual that she does each and every day. My wife and I actually wrote the script, scouted locations and took photos, created a storyboard, a shot list, and a production schedule and financed the film.

The story takes place in the center of Paris in the Bois de Bologne, so I had to get ambient sound the night before because of high traffic. This short story is an exercise
in sound effects, sound and foley as well as shot selection and composition. Discipline and time management are also part of this production.
