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!
