The Florida Premiere of ODD BRODSKY

We had a blast screening ODD BRODSKY at the Gasparilla Film Festival in Tampa!  ODD BRODSKY was honored to be 1 of only 7 features selected for the Narrative Competition!  And another film Matt shot called THERE'S ALWAYS WOODSTOCK was the opening night film!  It screened in the gorgeous historic 1200 seat Tampa Theater to a sold out house!  The festival was filled with great people, parties, films, panels, and food!  Both of our ODD BRODSKY screenings were AMAZING!  First theater was a small, but we had an awesome audience laughed a lot--and a fantastic Q&A with a moderator who had done his homework!  The second screening was at the Muvico in Ybor City.  I also had a blast speaking on the "women in the Biz" panel!  See you next time Tampa!  Our photo album is here.

4-Page feature story on Cindy Baer in IndieSource Magazine!

IndieSource interviews actress turned filmmaker Cindy Baer. And this is the best intro ever:

"One of the most driven independents out there Cindy Baer embodies what it is to be a filmmaker playing by her own rules. Polite and determined, she will not take no for an answer.  She doesn't wait for the door to be opened. She kicks it in with the force of an army, then politely says Hello, sorry about your door. She was a blast to interview and we hope you agree."

Girl Power in Post Production!

Two thumbs up on the mix stage with our Supervising Sound Editor /sound guru Victoria Rose Sampson (who has over 150 sound credits including SPEED, DONNIE DARKO and even RETURN OF THE JEDI) and Mixer Lisa Baro (pictured), who is one of just a handful of female mixers in the film & TV industry. Go go girl power!

Pre-Mix=No Sleep for me!

I thought I'd turn over all the sound files on Monday for the PreMix this week. But instead each reel has taken a full day to prepare and output all the elements for FX, BGs, Foley and Music! So I finish a reel, turn it over to sound, and then race to finish the next reel in time for the next day's session. All the while Vickie (my supervising sound editor) is doing the same for the Dialogue and ADR. Five reels in five days (which is CRAZY fast.) Finished reel 5 prep last night. I'm beat. After the PreMix is done, we'll see exactly what we need to do for the Final mix. 6:22am and already exhausted.  This is my awesome ADR supervisor, sound editor and recordist and pre-sound mixer Felix!  He's the best!

The score is done!!

Exciting News: The score for ODD BRODSKY is done! (See all the Green? Green = done!) Thanks so much to our amazing composer David Gonzalez for doing such a wonderful job on this extensive score which consists of a ton of cues including a combination of classics like Vivaldi and Bach and contemporary original pieces. Between our score and songs we have over 80 music cues!!  So thrilled to have an original never-before-heard song by the AMAZING Eric Bazilian of "The Hooters" and the 1978 hit "Sharing the Night Together!  Woo Hooo!!!
