Upstate NY Complete




We had the pleasure of interviewing the North-East NY state chapter of the Chosin Few. Anton attended a great luncheon and we spent the next two day conducting interviews. Great support from the Marine Corps League, Electric City Det, and Fox Co, 2/25.

Like our homes in NJ and NY City, Schenectady was rain, rain, and more rain. We crack the computers this week and get into the editing a little bit. We still plan to shoot up to Mid-September, then we hit the editing full time.

Look for us soon in DC, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Texas! Whew!

Semper Fi,
Brian

Mid June Update

Brian here. I know it has been a while for me to post. As you gather, we are very, very busy and things get hectic very quick. We are making a trip to upstate NY next week and we are excited to meet everyone. Our budget, more like our credit card debt, has grown recently due to the purchasing of some much needed equipment. We had a few choices to make concerning our editing process. We could go through a painful transfer process and edit on high end machines. Not absolutely necessary but the transfer process was not worth it. Next we are looking at editing on old computers using and older version of Final Cut Pro. We decided to bite the bullet and add an extra computer and buy the newest version of the editing software. Thankfully, we used a student discount and saved a few buck. Still, it hurt a bit.

We have a pretty solid schedule up to September when we wind down the filming. We may head to England in mid September and that will be our last stop. Fingers crossed.

Thanks to all of our supporters and friends.

Semper Fi,
Brian

Recovery and Prep for Summer Production

It's been awhile since the last post. After our mad dash through California, Brian, Adam and I went our seperate ways over Memorial Day weekend to spend time with our families.
After a few good days off, it was back to work.

Originally, we had planned to use June as a month to edit, but we are going to squeeze in two or three days of filming in upstate New york and possibly Massachusetts or Connecticut. Brian and I are also developing several other projects at once, so June will be a mish-mash of writing, editing, and filming. We will be travelling through the midwest in July and then we will roll straight into Texas in early August, so all planning/ scheduling for the rest of the summer will need to be done this month as well. The madness never ends.
