ONE OF MY FILMS IS PLAYING HERE...
I don't know which one as I submitted 2, and they said: 'Congratulations, your film has been selected' (!) 
We'll have to wait and see. Exciting isn't it? :)http://www.bostonsci-fi.com/

shooting update ..
Last Sunday .. Jan 13 ... we started shooting the next Huma Nerror film 'A Short Film on Freedom'. We have a few scheduling constraints - we can only shoot on weekends, one of our actors is in a long run stage performance in another city 6 hours away, another actor leaves the country for 3 months in at the end of January, and we also lose access to our fabulous location at that time. All in all it's a tight schedule - and this film is probably the most ambitious one yet.

The shoot went well - the actors are just amazing and I am incredibly lucky to have an equally good crew. Believe it or not we have graduated to shooting on a RED Scarlet camera, and we even got an Audi TT - straight from the showroom  - as a prop.

The previous 3 films we made for a cost less than 3 bottles of Cava (a fact I realised when paying the bill at our premiere party) and, despite the above paragraph - we are still managing to make these films for nothing (ok - that's not strictly true - I buy and prepare food for everyone the day before - but that's... well... less than a bottle of Cava).

I think from now on I'll budget in units of 'One Bottle of Cava' ... you want to do some sound mixing? That'll be 2 bottles of Cava an hour.

Next rehearsal on monday 21st. Can't wait.
