Update #17: 3 Day Film Challenge
Tonight we just launched our 3 Day Film Challenge, a 72 hour shot at making a high quality short film and deliver it completed three days later. We have 15 teams competing, that are out there writing, shooting and making the most of the time they have.
While they do that, we will field questions (lots of phone calls), do a little hand holding and keep the answers flowing to the challengers as they craft their mini-epics.
We shot a brief primer yesterday on what to do and I thought it would be great to share with our friends and backers here, if you want to see more and stay up to date on the challenge, be sure to check out more at www.3dayfilmchallenge.com.
Cheers!

You seven, are our first backers and I just had to take a moment and thank all of you for being part of this journey, as we keep moving towards our goal.
So thanks for backing our project and supporting us, what more can I say.
Thanks.
Update #14: Hope you had a great Memorial Day!
In keeping with the belief that backers want to see what we can do, I present a little trailer for a film called The Last Job, another project that we are working on here at Emerging Artist Productions, written by David Hoekenga and starring Derrick O'Connor (Daredevil, End of Days, Lethal Weapon 2).
Cheers!
Update #13: Workshops, filmmaking process and STATIC
Moving forward we will be continuing our filmmaking workshops, in which we will discuss different aspects of film - ways to make better sound, picture and overall quality choices.
This past Wed, Phil Turner of E.S.P. Audio ( http://espaudio.webs.com/ ) and I conducted a seminar/workshop on production sound. We discussed some of the pitfalls, some of the things to consider when making a film and even more importantly how (if you do it correctly) sound can make a tremendous impact on your project. For those of you that might be interested in the behind the scenes aspects of film, these workshops may be a bit dry for you - but I am truly hoping that it shows a reason and rationale, or at least a glimpse behind my determination in getting STATIC completed. I love film, making movies and finding new ways to entertain.
So if you know anyone that might be interested, we will begin to post up sections from the sound workshop and others on our official website, starting June 4th (special thanks goes out to John for his assist). Please let your filmmaker friends know, come by and visit the website which will have more info on our project (we are still hoping to launch our new site on June 1st) and I hope this is a wonderful beginning of your holiday weekend.
Until tomorrow....

He loves long walks on the beach (ok, not really) but does like watching movies about people taking long walks on the beach, or at least people walking dogs on the beach, or possibly movies about dogs, but he definitely loves movies, but thinks much less about the beach as time goes on. Let's just forget the whole beach thing as he would trade it in a minute for a fresh bag of popcorn.
