This weekend, Saturday March 22nd 6pm-midnight we are filming (on a INDIE budget) the afterhours scene of the short film: afterpartybabies.com 

think — “upscale” after hours nite spot that mixes a touch of the “freaky” (sexy, R rated stuff) that goes down in a real nitelife and a touch of “high fashion”…. fashionistas, artist, next to people trying to get their freak on…at least that’s the way it should look on film.  This is the R rated portion of the show….sexy, drugs and house music….dress to impress, or dress optional…..or something close to  that….

Loft Shoot location:

225 East 134th St.

5th floor(near the 3rd Avenue Bridge that goest to Manhattan)

New York, NY 10451

Now there’s an original song line: Yeah, I’m Feeling Thankful to you folks that shouted me out and offered great feedback on taking the film festival leap with: “After Party Babies“…sooo, here’s a great video –”Something for the fellas” — Directed by my new friend Scott Video — (one of the talented folks who will be helping out behind the scenes on my own little flick):

Happy Turkey Day…and find something to be thankful for………….1 luv

You’ll notice the new banner for my pet project: “After Party Babies” up here…I have been working with a co-writer (a dude that had a script at the Sundance Film Festival) — on my erotic short film — yeah, it will be a little nasty, but this one more PG 13 –maybe “Rated R” — (I think you can get away with showing butts, soft cocks, and tits)… but, for some strange reason…. since it’s intended for Film Festivals you can’t show hard wood (so I hear).

anyway, (the casting site is up “After Party Babies” — we start casting next month December 2007) and we will be using people who can act …..sooooo, pass this around to any talented wannabee actors that fit the leads part listed — and don’t mind showing some butt cheeks at Sundance (or whatever elite film festivals gets to screen such a work of art)….This is an INDIE- short which means that we will provide: meals, expenses, and copy of the finished film for their reel — (in other words “no pay” but a hella great acting experience and exposure) …………I promise not to go all hollywood on you all………………..as always,

‘holla at your boy!

here’s a gay theme short film I really liked…it’s pretty long (timewise), but has some good human moments:

So, I’ve got the green light (thanks to all your support out there) – and I’ll be doing a HD short film later this year (working on the script) …it will be clean enough to play in festivals, but sexy enough to get all leaky….(and blogging about the making of it all right here)  –so, doing my homework to see what’s out there. 

 Here’s a short film by David Lehre– 

ouch, that’s some bad acting…but, some creative stuff visually……….’ya think?

Keep, letting me know what you guys would like to see in a cleaner cruz short production……

 In that Pink song – ”Don’t let me get me” — she talks about being “her own worst enemy…”  — and I get it…for years I struggled with whether to take a crack at jumping into the Independent Film world — something to play in festivals or something other than just Porn (not that there’s anything wrong with porn) — anyhoo…I wrote it about here on the blog a few times (and got great feedback from you all)…”Just Do it,“  was the overwhelming response.

Many film makers have the tools and the talent. Some even create bits of their project here and there, but failing to craft a real schedule, the project never gets done. Before long, they move on to some “better” idea. What could be better than getting it done?

If you have a day job, make a commitment to work on your film at least one hour per night and full time on weekends. If you have other commitments, such as family, karate class or anything else, build a schedule around them, but build a schedule and stick to it.

Chris Nolan, known today for “Batman Begins” made his first film, “Following”, on weekends. He and his friends who acted in the film had day jobs, but they went out every weekend and got a little bit more of the film done. Create milestones and set out to reach them.

Decide from the start how much of the film should be done in three months, in six months, in nine months and work to reach these milestones. Create smaller monthly milestones to reach and check them off so that you can be inspired by seeing progress.
