I know The Silver Lincoln itself isn't up yet, but that's just because it isn't done yet. Brian Andrews, composer extraordinaire, is still finishing up the score. It'll definitely be up as soon as that's done!

"Lincoln" Storyboards Up!
I just uploaded the storyboards from The Silver Lincoln, which include some comparisons with some of the final shots. I'll put up some more comparisons soon. Click on Chester below to check them out!

"Ragtime" Now in Glorious Flash!
Thank God for Flash. Before now, Ragtime Ballad, in its Quicktime incarnation, would skip and jump erratically when played for no discernible reason. Now, I've got it up on a nifty Flash player with bells and whistles to boot. Check it out!
In a few weeks, when I get the chance to do a recompression, I'll replace that one with a bigger, crisper one.
I've also put up Flash pages for the behind-the-scenes videos from Variations on the Death of Gerald and Irretention. Be sure to give those a whirl. And check out the post just below this one for info on the recent revamp I did on the site!

Website Revamp!
For a while I've been noodling ways that this site could be improved, and today I finally sat down and implemented all the changes I'd been working on. Sure, nothing looks different yet, but check out the Archive and any of the individual films' pages. It's more streamlined, more informative, and, I think, snazzier. But I'm just one man - let me know what you think!
The Links page has also been stripped down, mostly thanks to the news that Zia Films, as a production company name, has already been taken, and Take 24:7 is going through an overhaul. Even so, only Boa, of my friends, has a functioning website, and so it's basically the Link to Boa's Page right now. Eventually I'll be replacing Links with Press, after I scan the newspaper articles.
But most exciting of all is the fact that I just dug up an old CD that had behind-the-scenes pictures and storyboards from old films of mine! So check them out below!

Wrap on "Corner Store!"
On Sunday morning, July 6th, we wrapped production on The Corner Store, after four long night shoots.
This film was part of the Korean exchange program in which I participated. The experience was very rewarding - it allowed me to work on 35mm film, to build characters and scenes with the actors and DP on a much more fluid level than ever before, and of course, I got to go to South Korea. Tonight the Koreans, many of which are now good friends of ours, depart for Seoul, and the long post-production process will begin.
I hope to have photos and a new page up soon!
And, of course, The Silver Lincoln is still in the twilight hours of post-production. Brian Andrews, the composer, has been working diligently on perfecting the score for the film. When that's complete, we'll see it up here.
There is some bad news. Turns out that Zia Films is already a functioning movie production company in Los Angeles. This means that I will have to dream up some other production company to work under. I suppose that's just as well, though I'm not sure why.

Back From South Korea
Earlier this week I returned from my two-week voyage to South Korea, courtesy of Chapman University. I took dozens of photos, and the best have been added to the photography page. Just click on the image below to go there.
The script for the film that we will be making with the Korean students is almost done. We'll be shooting in just over a week, and there's a lot of pre-production to do. Luckily for me, Chapman is footing the bill for the whole production, so for once I don't have financial worries on top of logistical ones. Now all I have to do is put a film together.
Good thing that's what I love to do!

Lincoln Screens, Korea Drafts
Tomorrow night at 7:00pm, The Silver Lincoln is screening at Chapman University's Knott Studios. Just this morning, Daniel McLellan (the editor) and I finished some last-minute music and sound effect tweaks. It's look and sounding fantastic, and it should be a great premiere.
I've been working with the writer, Darryl Wharton-Rigby, on the working-titled "Corner Store," which is the script that is being produced as part of the Korean exchange program this summer. It's still in its very early stages, so we'll be working on restructuring and resizing it to a level that's more manageable for the limitations we have. I'm confident that it will be a good film, and a great experience all around.
Since this post is lacking in colorful pictures, I will direct you to Zia Films, where I've recently overhauled the design to something I feel is more in tune with the themes and ideas that I'm interested in.

Lincoln and Korea
I've just put up a new page for The Silver Lincoln, where you can see behind-the-scenes photos and the list of credits:
For now, there's not much else up, but stay tuned!
In other, much more exciting news, I've been selected by Chapman University to direct a short film as part of a fully-funded scholarship / travel course in June. The travel course is also an exchange program with students at a film school just outside Seoul, in South Korea.
Over the next couple months we'll be developing a script for the shoot. Then, for two weeks in June, the seven people involved in the short will be going to South Korea, to visit and learn from the students there. We help them and crew on their set, and then they come back here to California with us, to crew on our set. The whole thing - the travel and the production - is paid for by Chapman, which is very exciting. I'm really thankful to have been chosen for such an extraordinary opportunity.
More on that in the coming weeks!
