WHAT MAKES A FILM GREAT?

Posted on August 29, 2016 by forizzythemovie

Recently, the BBC polled a couple hundred critics from around the world to list their top 10 films since 2000. They then compiled into a top 100 composite. Think of it like a re-calibrated Rotten Tomatoes score, with the benefit of hindsight. The results were surprising, but this time in … Continue reading “WHAT MAKES A FILM GREAT?”

THE FUTURE OF FILM?

Posted on August 25, 2016 by forizzythemovie

I hate clutter. Recently I’ve been clearing my bookshelves to make room for more. And in separating out the ones I wanted to keep versus the ones I was hoping to sell at The Last Bookstore (http://lastbookstorela.com/), there was a very distinct pattern: I kept my fiction – novels, plays … Continue reading “THE FUTURE OF FILM?”

IT PAYS OFF SOMEHOW

Posted on August 22, 2016 by forizzythemovie

So I’ve been taking some coding classes in the past while – learning C from the ground up and Python, while brushing up on my HTML and CSS (my knowledge of web design akin to a redneck auto repair – not really knowing what you’re doing, but doing it anyway … Continue reading “IT PAYS OFF SOMEHOW”

CAPTURED ALIVE

Posted on August 18, 2016 by forizzythemovie

During one of our shoot days in San Francisco, we were at Land’s End capturing some insert shots of the main characters, as a big element of the film is that two of the main characters Dede and Laura explore their world through video and photography. It is “meta” in … Continue reading “CAPTURED ALIVE”

GETTING READY FOR THE CAMPAIGN

Posted on August 11, 2016 by forizzythemovie

Over the past month, we’ve been working steadily on getting everything ready in advance of our crowdfunding campaign. I won’t lie. I’m a bit terrified. I don’t like asking for money. And this whole crowdfunding thing is new to me (and to us). But we do feel we have something … Continue reading “GETTING READY FOR THE CAMPAIGN”

SOUND IS HALF THE PICTURE

Posted on August 8, 2016 by forizzythemovie

About fifteen years ago, I picked up recording as a hobby that later turned into an obsession: accumulating a small recording studios’ worth of microphones, preamps, AD/DA converters and boxes of cables, all connected to my Pro Tools setup on my Mac. At the time, I was recording my own … Continue reading “SOUND IS HALF THE PICTURE”

THE GIFT OF THE UNEXPECTED

Posted on August 4, 2016 by forizzythemovie

Some of the most magical moments on any film production are those unexpected ones. A technical mistake turns into a beautiful shot. A misunderstanding turns into a wild moment captured on camera. Or something planned fails to work at the last minute, forcing the team to improvise on the spot. … Continue reading “THE GIFT OF THE UNEXPECTED”

REAL HEROES

Posted on August 1, 2016 by forizzythemovie

Not much to say here in this season of political hatred and mud slinging. We are mostly good. Putting aside our views of our own circumstances and others, when it comes to one-on-one interaction, face-to-face — we want to do the right thing. Whether it’s holding the door open for … Continue reading “REAL HEROES”
