The "Electric Picasso" Project

The Pinellas Filmmakers Society has been assisting & collaborating in a new production (as a training & experience building exercise) and they have been working once a month to building local industry networking partnerships (in their meeting on the fourth Friday evening of every month). My assessment of the group has been very favorable and continues to be so! I am so very excited about this new production as well! They may accept me as a possible candidate (probably in some production capacity) and soon I may be contacting various individuals for some sort of filmmaking or financial support for the film. We have made progress from this last production meeting and I feel we are getting ever closer to making this a film for which I will be proud to be a part.

The film is called "Electric Picasso" and so far we have made some great progress! It will most likely be a 20-25 min. digital short utilizing local talent & crew. There are a few International Academy of Art & Design students and a DP originally from NYC (so far a production staff & crew of 11-12 people). I read the script recently and was surprisingly pleased with it. I'm usually somewhat disappointed with a lot of stories these days, but this one has some really great moments. It is also a very appropriate script as a short film. It gets to the point quickly. It has a good ending. It has some great opportunities for talent to shine & for us to have some technically & artistically creative moments so that makes me happy.

I hope I do a great job & I remain grateful to Mark Keim- the Producer & Lisa Inserra- the Director for taking me on so graciously! I will probably be referring any readers to a soon-to-be created web site for the production from this blog.

So... more to come ASAP!
