After years of wanting to make my own independent film I am finally taking the plunge. Last year, after a really bad breakup, I was on the verge of just throwing in the towel on my dreams.
I remember getting online and just moping around looking at video game and superhero websites, and thinking how pointless everything was. Then I saw a casting call for the Dark Night Rises. I didn't go to PA to take part in it, but I decided to give the next one a go.
Enter the Man of Steel. I really wanted to be a part of that casting call. I dropped everything and took a bus Chicago. I was so close to waiting hours in line for a tiny shot at movie magic, when fate intervened.
I got a call from a casting agency. They wanted to cast me as a principal extra on a television show. Awesome, right? I went in, had an interview, got fitted for wardrobe, and even did a 48 hour film festival pic while I was there. Everything was going good. I was going to get on a show. Yay!
The show was canceled after the pilot. I never got to do it. Still, I was in a 48 hour film.
I used that momentum to spur me on to several small independent projects. I did sound, casting, script rewrites and some directing. Now, after all of that I am in the process of funding and producing MY first film.
It is a short form independent sitcom pilot partially based upon true events.
One Liner: Lyncredible is a hilarious tale of two friends and their attempt to overcome the dark pleasures of life, lust, betrayal, and distrust.
Below is a link to the kickstarter project page. If you click on updates you can watch our 48 hour film festival entry from last year. I didn't have any input on the script with that one, but Lyncredible, the movie I am producing, is all me.
