We are in the middle of prep for a new short film we are doing in association with the Cinema Department at San Francisco State University. The art department is hard at work building the sets, designing and collecting props and constructing the flats. Everything in this film is being designed and constructed from scratch by the students. We are busy working with Kodak and Fuji to find a film stock that will work for us and we have also been working with Deluxe Labratories in Hollywood who will be doing our film processing. Here are a few pictures so far:


The interns hanging out at the art space during a production meeting.


All the hand crafted flats, constructed by Evan Wade.


Bottles collected by the art department for the liquor store shop.


The producers hard at work doing an amazing job stretching every one of our dollars. I have a new found respect for what they do.


Director Joseph Matarrese and Composer Victor Paredes work on some of the songs for the website, trailer and film's soundtrack.


Some of the amazing costumes created for the film by Valerie Galindo, Costume Designer.
