Lost and found.
I haven’t been working on the film much lately (moving to a new apartment after 12 years is a concentration killer) but there is an exciting development. Courtesy of the 16mm mag reels that I used for editing all those … Continue reading
You only get one chance to make a first impression.
Yesterday I showed the latest assembly cut to someone for the first time. This person knew next to nothing about the movie. I’d specifically kept him in the dark about it because I wanted an absolutely direct reaction, uncontaminated by … Continue reading

I’ve just finished my first assembly edit. 93 minutes. In the grand scheme of things, that means very little. But it feels worth noting.

End of film. End of film?
Paramount has just become the first studio to announce that it will no longer distribute film prints. This means that each forthcoming movie from Paramount, regardless of whether it was produced on film or video, will only be shown digitally … Continue reading
What it looks like.
The scan of the negatives is finished. The negatives were scanned at between 2K and 3K, 2400 pixels across, using what’s called a “flat pass” approach. No color correction or adjustment, simply capturing the greatest possible detail, including the grain. … Continue reading
What the rough cut looks like.
Or at any rate, the boxes. A pal of mine who lives in Brooklyn recently shipped this back to me. It’s been sitting in his closet for several years now, since the last time I was able to watch it. … Continue reading
