Friday night at our local theater's premiere of the indie film Humboldt County I was allowed to show the teaser trailer for the film. It felt great seeing our actors up on the big screen and hearing Tinyfolk through the huge speakers.
I spoke one of the co-directors Darren Grodsky (check out the blog on the right) and he gave some good advice and hopefully we'll get in contact soon. Check out his film, it's like Garden State, but without the gimmicks and a much better sense of space.
Saturday's hippie reshoot was a blast. We got about 20 or more extras (even my sister!) to come out and enjoy the nice weather (for december). We had people smokin', dancin', singin' and even some nudity!
On Sunday night we filmed a little confrontation scene between Sylvia and Charlotte and Johanna. I assumed that during finals week everyone would be stationary and studying, yet I was wrong and everyone was out driving to and fro from library. The sound was so bad by Student Health (our location) that we had to quickly find somewhere else to shoot.
Luckily we found a cool, eerie hallway in HSSB. Everything looks great too.
Monday night we shot a scene with Nicholas in his room painting. It was tiny and laid back, but fun.
AND the best news of all is that our film has received the URCA (Undergraduate Research And Creative Activities) grant from UC Santa Barbara. I do not know how much yet, but I will know (by snail mail) in a couple of days. Congratulations everyone on crew and cast!
To put it in LOL terms, "Wiiz provin' to all da haterz that we are legitz."
