July final days, Tucson summer

First production meeting for Yuri Makino's short film ALMA went well. Crew is much larger than I expected, with approximately 40 people apparently signed up, and a handful still being sought after.

I'm stoked to get to work with some experienced folks, like Michael McDonough (Cinematographer on Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore) and many other fine folks from the University as well.

Apparently the three lead cast members are being brought in from out of state (LA I believe). The shooting is scheduled for three over-night dates starting the 22nd (actually 23rd) at 8pm-3AM. I will post a few pics here once I've started shooting.

Sarah and Kids are back home in Columbus, where I'll be heading at the end of the month. My lil bro is heading out to Tucson to help with the move - and we'll truck it back and make a good time of it all.

A few days back, word reached crew that McDonough is out, due to family health troubles he is heading back to Scotland. It's unfortunate, but the replacement cinematographer could prove to be just as interesting. His name is Gonzalo Amat, and he has a long history of night shooting for commercials and short films.
