Ah, the new Jack’s Mannequin so good.

Just wanted to let you all know I am alive and well. Editing

is going swimmingly, our editor Alyssa is doing a wonderful job.

I am so busy trying to get everything packed, I move this Sunday. I’m shooting a music video on Saturday and I am stoked for that, just busy prepping. Life is busy, I thought it would slow down a bit…but that would be boring.

1) Music video.
2) Play my guitar(s) more.
3) Continue learning French.
4) Listen to Jack’s Mannequin as much s possible.

My thesis film, Caleb Couldn’t Love, is wrapped.  It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.  I’ve spent the past year immersed in this project, I thought about it every day.  Now, the footage is in the can, we just need to edit it.  Jason Reitman said that a film is found in the editing room.  Getting the footage was so fun and inspiring.  I finally got the chance to apply everything I’ve learned.

I felt a little empty today.  When you’re doing what you love every single day, it’s hard to not do it for a day.  I love having a project, having purpose.  Being less busy with the film made me take a look at some other aspects of my life, and in some ways I felt alone.

But tonight I hung out with some of my classmates.  It was a reminder of how lucky I’ve been to be able to meet these amazing people.  We had a great time watching Tropic Thunder, then we went to Dee’s and chilled in the hot tub.

I still feel like a little something is missing inside of me.  Filmmaking does a darn good job of covering it up, but it can’t fill that hole completely.

I’m blogging daily on my film’s blog!

Tomorrow, it all begins.

Tomorrow is the last day for my crew and I to prep for my thesis. We have a lot to do, but we’re looking pretty good. It’s go time.

I haven’t blogged for 9 days. The longest/only blackout period in this year of blogging every day. If there was any time that was worth my absence, now is it. I haven’t stopped working on my thesis since we wrapped Bill’s shoot last Monday. The last two nights on Bills shoot started at 6PM and ended at 6AM and 10AM respectively.

I cannot express how excited I am to make this film. Everything’s coming together. The cast, crew, locations. I am truly blessed to be working with such talented and passionate individuals. I couldn’t ask for a better cast/crew.

It is my goal to post updates again daily to keep everyone in the loop. After a few days I hoped to back-blog (I have the material, I just didn’t post it), but I think the blackout period is more representative of the past week than any words could be.

I’ve been busy, doing what I love, and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

What a great night.

Tonight is going to be insane. Filming in an alley from 6PM-6AM.
