We have pushed filming slightly to finalize some financial issues and increase our pre-production period. We should be ready to shoot by early April.
In the meantime, if you're in Seattle, be sure to watch the Oscars this Sunday. The Riot is being covered in a piece on KOMO ABC 4 immediately following the awards. All further updates will be posted to the blog.

It has been a long period of silence, but we're out of the cave and back to the light. Shooting begins on "The Riot" on February 22, 2009 in Seattle under a budget of 4.5 million starring some big names. I spent the last two weeks getting the crew together. This production is going to be a blast. If anyone is in Seattle, they are welcome to get in touch with me to be RIOTERS in the big street sequences. As the days come and go and we approach the beginning of production, I'll post more details like the final cast, full crew list, shooting locations, etc. HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! It certainly will be for us.

We're through the Writer's strike, and now on we go to the SAG strike. As soon as the SAG contract is settled, we'll be gearing up to do heavy pre-production, with production to begin not more than a month later. We're meeting with several key actors to fill roles in our new project, "The Riot", a $4.5 million Action/Thriller we will shoot before lensing commences on "Rekindled". The Falling will be released into major retail stores such as Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, FYE, etc. before the end of 2008 in a new edition that will include the outtake reel.

In order to bring you more frequent updates, we have set up an official Mirror Images blog which you can always navigate to using the buttons at the top of the page. All the old posts from The Falling have been archived there, but check back frequently for new updates about Rekindled.

It has been quite a while since my last update. Things have been very chaotic, very stressful, and very exciting. We are in development/pre-production on my 2nd feature, "Rekindled". This flick is going to be big. We're shooting the movie for a budget of $15 million. Obviously in Hollywood standards, this budget is still pretty modest. But, for a man whose first film was in the $60,000 range, this is all very exciting. We've been negotiating with a lot of amazing name actors for the project. The only question remains is when exactly we will go into production. We have a planned production start-date of March 31, 2008. But these strikes might command us into a delay. So, depending on how everything goes, we should be into production shortly. If you have any questions regarding the film, feel free to get in touch. I'm going to start a blog for this site and link it to my Myspace page. I love hearing from all of you, so please, send the love. That's all for now. I'll have a bigger update at the beginning of the new year.
