The Last Mile
Today is Wednesday the 9th of January, 2008. Tomorrow will mark one year since I first stepped into the warehouse that became ours for two weeks. Shooting started only a few days after that, and by the 19th we were wrapped. Here we are, one year later, two festival screenings behind us, a huge one coming up, and we’ve almost finished the film! The end, in fact, is scheduled.
I have until Monday night (which I’m sure will become late Monday night) to finish any shots I want to enhance/clean up/invent. Then on Tuesday the 14th — one year and one day after shooting began — the picture will be locked, and the key thrown away. Then, it’s off to the sound designer David Wallace for his finishing touches. I shall meet with David on Sunday the 20th — one year and one day after shooting wrapped — and finalize the sound design. If it isn’t too late, I’ll head over to editor Adam Miller’s and marry the sound and picture. And there we will have a film fitted.
Can’t wait for the next movie!
