PhillM tip-of-the-day:
Just so we are all clear: OSHA does not have an official policy of wearing neck ties on film sets. All they say is that they you shouldn't wear loose clothing around heavy machinery. Most people suggest removing or securing neck ties and also have their workers wear short sleeves and prohibit jewelry made of metal because it's conductive, etc.

The Fall

Wow, I saw an amazing movie last night. It is a film by a director named Tarsem Singh, who directed The Cell, and it follows the imagination of a little girl in a hospital being told a story by a paralyzed stuntman. The opening 10 minutes are worth the price of admission alone, the rest of the film is just icing on the cake.





GO SEE THIS FILM!

Also, if you haven't seen The Dark Knight you have to go see it! This movie makes me proud to work in the film industry, especially after seeing something like Indy 4.

Anyway, I am back in LA working on a few shorts and continuing to let people know about Distant Thunder Film up in the bay area. We finally moved the gear into a storage space and are now able to do official business as a rental house. So if you wan to get out of LA to make your movie, come to the Bay Area. We have gear and crew for you and the Bay Area is a great place to make a movie!

Shoot on film... it's just easier.
