Nose Hair - Through the Glass - The ADR Tank

Last weekend was packed with ADR magic as the talented Bethany Sparks and I recorded 5 voice actors in two days. The month long process of auditions and filling out USC forms finally ended, but it was all worth it. The actors really gave it their all and we got some wonderful performances.
The Nose Hair is really starting to form a solid mass now. I've been boarding like a fiend with the ADR in place this past week and hope to have the entire film boarded and locked down with sound very very soon.

Passer Passer at Long Day Short Film Festival

Last Friday my thesis film Passer Passer premiered at the Long Day Short Film Festival in Alameda, CA! Alameda is across the Bay from San Francisco, an island that used to serve as an air force base. The screening was inside of a giant hangar that used to be used for painting aircraft, but is now used for storing massive amounts of wine.

I was in the festival in 2011 with Moe's Musical Morning, and it was really great to be back again and see how the fest has grown.
