Making films is kind of like being on a runaway train. You have a destination, but getting there\u00a0never really\u00a0goes the way you planned. And so the real work becomes how to stay\u00a0on course while\u00a0(like Gromit)\u00a0laying\u00a0down new tracks on the fly. Most of the time, the train\u00a0arrives “safely” but only\u00a0through a team effort\u00a0of confronting the\u00a0unpredictable and unknown. In short, you stress, adapt, and discover: new places and people, new approaches and\u00a0ways of working. In the end, its the process of crazy adaptation\u00a0that forces you to grow and\u00a0which also, often,\u00a0brings you to better\u00a0results.<\/p>\n
Just recently in July and August I was on such a crazy course in Sardinia\u00a0and Rome, working on my\u00a0“spaghettimentary” feature film GO AHEAD TURN. \u00a0Over the coming weeks, its going to be fun blogging about these “making of ” exploits\u00a0–\u00a0in both Canada and Italy\u00a0–\u00a0that began\u00a0in 2011.<\/p>\n
Now as Post-Production begins and a distant terminus\u00a0comes into sight, I hope you’ll\u00a0stay posted to share in on the (mixed up) adventures and be\u00a0part of\u00a0the homecoming arrival!<\/p>
