Already time to look back?

Now that IN THE COOLER has been launched, I have been busy registering the film at the short film depot site, and sending it out to festivals. After the holidays, I will actively be seeking a distributor, and taking care of various accounting details.

I am a creative person by nature and daily practice, but film history is filled with examples of creators who produce. And I find that, the older I get, the more it is becoming apparent to me that there will be no substitute for rolling up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty. This is not only true re: COOLER, but on other projects that I hope to be able to blog about in due course.

In the meantime, here is a short clip I shot with my Sony Mini HD camera back in September, at the Corona. It shows Jacob directing the crew and the cast, and give the viewer some idea of just how smooth the process was.
