Some production stills from "The Doctor's Last Day"

Been pulling some stills from the film for the upcoming festival.  Fun to go back.  Sobering to see technical issues that I've since learned to fix!  Will be tweaking before sending to this festival.

Today's challenge --shooting into mirrors

Avoiding mirrors or finding innovative ways to mask our presence.  "One" is still eating in a closeup so no problem yet.

On set for "A Jumble"

Filming has started.  We are back to one location, two characters.  Our goal:  continuous improvement in technique. 

Another challenge: to create a dramedy that offers movement that reveals the subtext, i.e. the psychology of the characters.
