Spring brings thoughts of love...

...and working to finish Dry Moon.  We have a new team for the summer work schedule and hope to complete this year.  The blossoms come and go, so the trees get bigger and stronger.  That is the work of this film--for all of us involved.  Finally, perhaps soon, we will see the full-grown living art-formed and ready to fly into the hearts and minds of strangers.

a little inspiration

Beautiful evocative graphic from Esther Sumner, my editor and friend who has done so much for Dry Moon!  Inspiration for titling...now just pushing for the music to score.

how many hats?

How many hats does an artist wear?  I guess it depends on the level of commercial success, or interest in commerce.  I have worn so many hats in the production of Dry Moon I wonder how that looks to the outsider (and potential investor)--but I would ask...what is the alternative?  To NOT make the film.  Otherwise it is impossible because it takes so many different skills and talents to make a movie.  There have been those who have quit the project, abandoned hope of ever seeing it finished.  But there are those who have a flicker of hope, and of course me, carrying the torch.

Hope is essential, it is the Top Hat.

Happy 2015--from then until now--

Here we are at the start of another year.  This year will be the year of the Dry Moon!  I think so...we are moving forward on the score--and with the right mix of luck and hours of work--we should be able to finish by Spring, though I can not promise.

To all our folks....thanks for never-ending patience and support!

SUNRISE OR SUNSET

Sunrise and Sunset look so much the same on a cell phone.  Sometimes, after a nap, somebody asks is it today or tomorrow?  I wonder how long until we can finish Dry Moon, is it today or tomorrow?  Sunrise or Sunset?

Gracie's voice is clear and strong, and her music fills the frame!

SO IN MY ABSENCE....

I HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD.  Recuperating from the hell that is life in the modern world.  All the stresses which are completely self-inflicted, all the pain that is created out of thin air...no rhyme or reason for the pain and suffering we cause ourselves on a daily basis.  Just to stay alive has been a no-brainer...now how to live, what to buy, the schedule, the rushing, complaining, the complaining about the complaining.  Pointless when confronted with what truly ails our country and perhaps our world-- which is a moral dilemma...perhaps unanswerable, but if there is any hope it is ART.  Really and truly.  WHAT ELSE????

So I continue with DRY MOON.  I must and will finish soon.  We are now looking for someone to score.  I have musicians who are talented, willing and able.  I have a great friend who has a new recording studio READY WITH THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT.  So that's good.  But waiting.  The beautiful, lovely Sarah, AKA Gracie Lee, has agreed to sing...now the planets must align and bring it all together to ACCOMPLISH THIS MOST IMPORTANT PHASE.  And this person will come to our project soon...I feel it as certainly as I feel the hope that springs eternal when the MUSE is around...and she is so nearby I hear her whisper to me sometimes, I feel her as she brushes by in the most unexpected moments of my life....soon soon.  I think we will be done by the spring and DRY MOON is beautiful and will be seen by its audience.  Reaching out to our sound designer...you are there and will bring the visuals to fruit--just like the paw-paw trees, we grow together in a group.
