Time to catch up with …The Hostage…..

Ed Brando (of  William F. Whites and long time acquaintance) emailed me that he had a project in January (Yes I know I’m behind here but hey read on…).  He wanted to know if I was interested in helping out doing what I do.  Well anytime Ed has a project I’m willing to help because he is one of those guys (hard working , honest and speaks his mind) which I like and admire (he doesn’t know this so don’t tell him….).  The Director is Brent Cote whom I haven’t worked with and the script is …interesting/brutal – hard to describe and no I’m not going to give any of it away you will just have to watch it.   And because of the nature of the beast it turned into a boom/mix with me/myself & I handling a boom and two wires.  I must admit it was a bit of a stretch – again because of the script.  The actors (all) gave great performances with Tahmoh Penikett and Aleks Paunovic in lead roles.  Now I have worked with Aleks before in China so it was nice to see and work with him again.  And the rival chemistry between Tohmoh and Aleks was amazing.   This great short will be screening on July 8th, 2010 @ 7:30PM at the Vancouver Film Center.
