THE BATTLE RAGES ON

As we continue to shoot, we find that the elements have turned against us. This past Sunday our brave band of filmmakers had scheduled a sneak attack on the unsuspecting, and yet, totally deserving scene 30...aka "The Car Chase"
Unfortunately, as our heroes raced towards the predetermined destination, it began to rain...not just rain...but RAIN! And we were forced to call off the night's shoot. Bummer!!
Unfortunately for Steve, this has caused a bit of a setback in scheduling...and as a result his guard was down and the "Dark Side" of the film was able to claim him as its new Apprentice..."Oh, I'm afraid the shield generator will be quite operational when your friends arrive!!!!"


In other news..."On The Wrong Foot" premiered at the Washougal International Film Festival this past Friday.
Unfortunately this festival, though it is only its first year, was a bit of a let down.
The facilities for showing the productions were lacking in every way. They had set up screening rooms in unfinished strip-mall stores with cheesy projectors and staff who couldn't make half the DVD submissions play...they didn't even bother to black out the windows, so it was difficult to even see the films. I hope they take a bit more time to prepare next year...it would be nice for there to be such a cool event so close to home. Good point...All six people at our screening enjoyed the film...LOL Look for more later.

Oh man, that's "teh suxx0r" about the rain, Steve. Quick, get that scene re-scheduled for this weekend; the dry days may quickly be dwindling.

Good info about the Washougal Fest, too... I wasn't able to make it up. Given that it's the first year of the festival, it sounds like some feedback to the organizers would be in order. Using empty stripmall stores as screening venues isn't a bad idea per se... but yeah, blacking out the windows would be a good thing for them to consider :)
