Start Dates

We had a pre-production meeting for Pioneer the other day, and in doing so talked a little bit about the feature I want to make next. I mentioned that I'd like to shoot it in February. The next day, filling out some paperwork, I found it necessary to get a bit more specific, and settled on February 2nd. I feel safe saying that, for some reason.

Just over three years ago, I noted that I'd set a start date of October 6th for the beginning of principal photography on St. Nick. I wound up being about four months off. Hopefully this won't be a case of indirect proportionism.

I do know that, come that eventual start date, I'm either going to shoot quick and fast and elegantly on a 5D with a good lens package, or slightly more slowly on good old fashioned film. We'll see what opportunities present themselves between now and then.

Pioneer casting takes place this weekend. There are only two people in the movie, so we're already fifty percent done.
