Also, I'm excited to announce that we will be launching Leaving Bliss on January 23rd. Check the website then to watch the first episode.

At the composer!

Right now, our episodes are with our super talented composer, Jason Brandt. The music he's delivered so far is great, and it complements the comedy well.

I can't wait for these episodes to be done!!

Slowly but Surely

The episodes are coming along. We need to figure out the music and titles. And I wrote another episode!

Video from Friday's shoot

My mom came to Friday's shoot and took a couple little videos.

At last!

We're finally done with principal photography for the first two episodes of the series! Friday's shoot went great. We booked a few hours in the Whitefire Theater in Sherman Oaks to shoot the very first scene of the whole series. Here are some pics from the day.

Editing is in progress, and we should be done soon. We need to talk to create music for the series and an intro sequence. I can't wait til it's all done and we can have everyone over for a viewing party!!

Updates!

We've been editing footage and are close to finishing assembling episode 1. We just have one more shoot day this Friday.

Steve and I are both very busy right now, but we're hoping to wrap up both episodes in the near future!

Yesterday was an eventful day for us!

We shot lots of scenes in about five hours. Here are some pics!

Shooting went great again. Everyone on my team is so wonderful and reliable and easy to work with, it makes my job as producer/actor a million times easier. Seriously, our actors are so so talented!! A big thanks to everyone for their time and talent yesterday. And a HUGE thank you to Emilie, who so graciously loaned us her house for the day, and to her father, Flick, both of whom were so wonderfully welcoming to our cast and crew.

I truly love and appreciate everyone who has given of themselves to be a part of this project. :)
