'Waking' up a little later...

Back in Feb. of this year it was said that 'The Waking Hours' was going to be released in April of this year. But the movie is still in post production. So the released date has been postponed. I am still hoping to release the movie before the year is over.

Stay tune...

Short movie completed!...'Carry On'

April 1st was the last day of filming the upcoming short movie 'Carry On'. The last post mentioned about me directing it in March. It went as planned, we filmed the whole movie on the iphone, from March 31-April 1st. We filmed in Manhattan. Weather people called for a thunderstorm on April 1st, but instead we were blessed with sunshine and some clouds but no thunderstorm! What a great time on both shooting days!

This was my first time working with lead actress/writer/producer Nori Ortiz and cinematographer Kai Miedendorp. Both are great to work with. Japanese actress Yukiko Miyawaki stars as a doctor in the movie, our second time working on a movie together. She gives a wonderful performance.

The movie is now in post-production.

'The Solitude Trilogy'

'The Solitude Trilogy' is a exploration of women facing different degrees of loneliness, depression and insomnia in a single location. Three actress have been attached to this trilogy, they are: Marlies Bauer Bell, Nana Ponceleon and Grace Kiley. It's the second time I'm working with Marlies and Nana and the first time working with Grace. Each story is told in three separate movies ('All Things Considered', 'The Waking Hours' and 'Behind Glass Doors').

All three movies will be filmed in different locations. 'All Things Considered' is in post production. 'The Waking Hours' is scheduled to begin production in Feb. 2016 and 'Behind Glass Doors' is scheduled to begin filming in Fall/Winter 2016.

This trilogy will be dedicated to the late Belgian Filmmaker Chantal Akerman.
