It’s been more than a couple of days since Potsdam, and we’ve been going through a bit of withdrawal. Juliane and I thought it was high time to formally thank everyone who came out to assist us and be a part of this journey…which continues onward into the Berlin winter through to March 2013, when [...]
(Jade Xu, World Wushu Champion, and head of the Peace Enforcers). The Inner District pledge rewards have arrived! Reward parcels were sent out last week and most of our fans and colleagues have already received their packages as part of our successful October Indiegogo campaign. Co-sponsored by Gründer Garage and Google, The Inner District was [...]
The pace is picking up on the approach towards our feature shoot come March 2013. The heart starts to beat a little bit faster around this time of year and the stress levels start to rise. Making films is like few other businesses in the world — and it’s SUCH hard work — but the [...]
So the second draft of the screenplay is now complete and there’s a small respite before we delve headlong into the third version. Juliane has explicitly instructed me to stay far away from the draft for the next five days to refresh my perspective…so rather than gnash my teeth and bite my knuckles in mimicry [...]
What a trip…seven days around the Berlin galaxy on the good ship U-Bahn, only to end up back where we began: Stettiner Strasse and the wild and woolly Wedding ghetto which we know oh so well. I can hear the muezzin now… Sunday marked the final day of principal photography on the Venezuelan-born, Berlin-down Xavier [...]
Day 4 of Improv Film Project found the unit this time doing principal photography in the quaint little Berlin burb of Friedrichshain, in the Former East Berlin, Former Worker’s Paradise, Former Best Place On Earth. Yeah. Whatever… Pictured above is Marcel Romeijn, our protagonist on this little indie flicker picture, and a very photogenic sort [...]
Good things in our business typically come in threes, and Day 3 of principal photography on Xavier Agudo’s Improv Film Project held fast to this cinematic rule of thumb, or dictum, depending on your preferred level of lexical complexity. Third day of production brought us to four — count ‘em! — separate locations around [...]
Very good second shooting day – mostly at Alexanderplatz, here in the German capital – with Xavier Agudo’s crack unit on his groundbreaking never-been-done-before Improv Film Project. The day had us out at one of the German capital’s many prominent “downtowns,” this one in former East Berlin, Former Paradise On Earth, and in front of [...]
This is what we looked like after a full day and afternoon of shooting Xavier Agudo’s Improv Film Project. Yes, this was “on location,” as they say. Not too worse for the wear and not a bad little shoot within the confines of three adequately-sized rooms, a plush bed for the scintillating sex scene between [...]
