It's all happening! Our new short film BROKEN AUGUST starts shooting today. We have a script, schedule, budget, most of our cast and most of our locations. Eli Loghavi and Sharon Chin and Gina Tucker are producing, Ilya Lyudmirsky (Bangkok) is shooting it, Kevin Manthei (Invader Zim) is writing the score, Jack Waldrip (Night Dawn Day) is editing, Martin Carrillo (Supernews!) is our sound designer/mixer and Sara Karnowski is casting it. The movie stars Alaina Huffman (Smallville), Dave Waterman (The Sarah Silverman Show), Bru Muller (Behind the Terror: A Comedy), Lisa Carnahan (Indefinitely), Kinna McInroe (Office Space), Nathan Barnatt (We All Has Problems), Kirk Dauer (Behind the Terror: A Comedy), and others yet-to-be-named. More later...

Black Winter

I was checking out this crazy new search engine called Viewzi yesterday when I came across a listing for Black Winter, the feature script I wrote for director Jesse Dylan (Kicking & Screaming, American Wedding, How High). This is the first public mention of the project, as far as I know. The listing, on Hollywood.com, described the film thusly:

"A crisis counselor plunges into an odyssey for her own survival, as she must confront her personal crises and fears amidst a strange killer in the Alaskan wilderness."

The film will be produced by Jesse Dylan, Priscilla Cohen, Sukee Chew and the production company Form.
