Liberty No. 5 Pictures In Development

Here are the projects slated to be shot in the coming months & years in various stages of development as of Aug 2010. The shorts are working up to my Crime Thriller, "Punishment", planned as my first feature. I have been writing and re-writing for the last year or so and have had difficulty finding a good, team oriented, experimental Cinematographer/DP since I have some strong technical ideas and would prefer as little conflict between who I think are "the two most important people on set" during production. Frankly, when you see this kind of conflict on set its always sad because it feels like its like watching your parents fight- its really sad & stupid looking at the same time. And its especially demoralizing to know the Director & DP are more unprofessional & juvenile than I am. So, I want to prevent these things from happening & so, I have put a lot of time trying to find the proper team & proper story working together-- and hopefully it will pay off.

Of course, I am working on other people's projects as well. Some as a Producer or as an AC (So that I can learn more about camera right now), but I could also stand to get more work as an AD, PM, or Script Sup. I have learned how to do breakdowns better since the last feature I worked on- I might even use my own custom made production strip boards utilizing colored cardstock cut into business card size scene strips... a very practical design. After I use them on this next production I am working on... a short for the Action Film Challenge... it will no doubt become a more perfected system!

There are another 10 feature films or so planned from my own stories but I try not to put too much on my plate at one time. Heh heh...
