Mike and I have been MIA from this blog, for wildly different reasons; I was on a kayaking/camping trip in the Idaho wilderness, and Mike was in Los Angeles starring in a short film! I’ll let Mike talk about his experience when he feels the time is right; for my part, the river trip was marvelous, and I have nothing but good things to say about the great state of Idaho.
It really does look like this.
But now I’m back in New York, revived and refreshed and ready to take on the challenge of the Four-Week Feature! With only three days to go on our Kickstarter campaign, we’re up to $5,698 of our $10,000 goal, with 97 backers. Anyone care to be our 98th? Or 99th? Or 100th????
In other news, we’ve officially hired our first production intern, Gabi Madsen, and we’re very pleased to have her. Gabi was the first applicant I interviewed for the position, and after our 20-minute phone conversation (I was in the Boise Airport Best Western, the night before my river trip began), I felt absolutely convinced that she was the right person for the job. She’s bright, personable, organized, and passionate about filmmaking. What more could we want?
I’ll be driving out to Utah this Friday, and before that I’ll be going crazy trying to get all my ducks in a row for the shoot. Less than two weeks to go! Watch this space as we scramble to get everything ready.
