Hospital Hill - On Hold (0)

Posted on 11 September, 2008 in Hospital Hill

You know, I’m starting to get sick and tired of this “business” I call a hobby.  It seems every time I have depended on something or somebody on the last couple of projects, they have miserably let me down.  I know that this is all part of this “business” - but when you are a struggling filmmaker, it can really suck sometimes.

I was getting ramped up to film Hospital Hill this fall and I just recently learned that the studio I was planning on renting has gone out of business.  This really sucks because one of the sole reasons I was going to make this film was because they had an awesome medical set with this brutal looking hospital bed that I planned on using.

At this point we don’t have the resources to film these scenes someplace else locally and we certainly don’t have the $3000 to $5000 dollars a day that the hospital set studios up in LA wants to ass fuck us for.

So, unless somebody has an operating room we can film in, or somebody wants to donate $10,000 so we can film in LA for 2 days, I am officially shelving this project at this point in time.  Luckily, it’s a sweet and short script, so it’s easy to dust off.

Oh well.  Fuck it.  Again.

I’m sleeping in tomorrow.

Posted on 15 April, 2007 in Sustenance

Today was mixed with ups and downs - we had to cancel a shoot on location in Oceanside and make a crazy rush to buy props for a shoot in the afternoon. we had ordered some props a few weeks ago, but of course they didn’t arrive in the mail until we were almost ready to shoot. Oh well.

Mr. Buttons - Damn The Weather (0)

Posted on 15 October, 2006 in Mr. Buttons

We were rained out today! This is the first time I have ever had to cancel a shoot due to the weather. I thought we would still be able to film on Friday, but soon the clouds gathered and it rained all night long! I checked the location on Saturday morning and it was muddy as hell! There was no way I was going to make the actors and crew crawl around in the muck so we called it off. We’ll re-schedule for another date.

Mail Order Bride - Equipment Failures (0)

Christ on his mother fucking throne. On top of having the viewfinder go out on my camera, my brand new external hard drive turns out to be defective right out of the box! The company is sending a replacement and hopefully I’ll be back in the editing business soon.
