What’s been going on…

Hey guys, I thought it would be a good time to give you a bit of an overview with the current film being worked on – Docks.

Docks first began last year, when a co-worker (Rob) and I hooked up and started to think up ideas for a comedy. We took elements from the day-to-day experiences we were already having, twisted them a bit, and included it in this mashup of ideas. We were planning to shoot the film last fall, but progress was moving far too slow, and it all ultimately got canned.

Resolved to finish the film, both I and Rob continued the process of thinking up ideas. I started to write the screenplay. However, time issues really started to get in Rob’s way, and he dropped out.

I continued on. I finished the script. I ordered the microphone. The T-Shirts. Everything needed to make this a reality. Cancelling the project was not an option for me. I had already invested $1,000 at this point in equipment for the film.

So, in the beginning of September, I began to organize the shoot times. The first shoot took place about a month ago, on September 15th. Ever since then, with the exception of this week, there’s been at least one shoot a week.

I have to say that the people I’m working with are all absolutely fantastic. It hasn’t been easy, and there’s been a number of complications along the way, but these people have really made all the difference.

So this is where we’re at. More shoots need to be done, and they have to be done before November. I expect that I should have a movie by Christmas, and a DVD by mid/late January 2008.
