[Zak Forsman]

brave words for a man who still has drives full of media sitting on my bookshelf.

[Matthew R. Rodwell]

Seems like the real estate is moving pretty fast, time to reserve my spot.

*Plants flag*

Dibs on this spot.

okay, i'm finished already. mine's non-compete. i couldn't include your fascist time-telling device....

view the majesty of TurboTax: SexyTIME!!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVOUgVorbX0)

[Moojangles]

that was brilliant. 5 stars.

[dvpixl]

Zak, love this font you keep going back to. What's it called?

[Zak Forsman]

Zak, love this font you keep going back to. What's it called?

its from the Univers (no 'e') family

[dvpixl]

thanks.

[Billy Pilgrim]

WRITTEN and directed by Zak Forsman? I thought you just made up everything as you went along? I mean, that's all improvisation is, right? It's like "Who's Line Is It Anyway". Not to sound cliche, but I will be looking forward to this. Just as long as John Woods sings a song about time.

[Zak Forsman]

current cast and crew added. revised banner..

[Cliff Wildman]

I'm soliciting any offers from those of you who have reserved spots in this thread. Top dollar paid. i'm serial.

come on zak!? 'macrostar' and you can't get it to somehow fit timefest. you've got the time work in the theme, dude!

[Jeff Anderson]

Wow that was umm incredible Zak. Looking forward to your real entry... love the "based on a notion by". Glad to see you've got the same cast and crew - worked really well last time. Oh and yeah I'm reserving this spot for my review. Make it look like I travelled back in time...

[Sid Barnhoorn]

Good luck with this! :)

[Zak Forsman]

just to be clear, i don't want to take credit for something I had nothing to do with... this is something my friends put together for the YouTube/TurboTax contest. You recognize John of course (sans beard) and I suspect there is a cameo by Marion's right hand in there as well.

[Charlie Anderson]

Sexay Time = Win

Oh I was just excited to see them in the cast list for the Macrostar. You will be taking credit for that one right? Didnt even recognize beardless John...

[Mark Johnson]

Zak, TURBOTAX: SEXYTIME is friggin' BRILLIANT!!!! CONGRATS DUDE.

[Zak Forsman]

again, i had nothing to do with it.


UPDATE: story/character development continues behind the scenes. will likely go out this weekend to shoot some second unit.

[Zak Forsman]

Do you know how hard it is to find original scifi props that don't cost more than $ 200 a pop? Pretty hard.

[Tom Marshall]

Good luck, Zak

[Zak Forsman]

Thanks, Tom.

[Zak Forsman]

I'll be hosting some exclusive content off site. PM me for a password.

[Zak Forsman]

new content update to the private project development site.

PM me for a password.

[Drew Ott]

Wow, Zak! Your private project development site is on the same level as the Fat Monster Films secret site.

I am in web-browsing bliss.

[DJ Lewis]

Yeah, I'm digging the off-site content for sure. This is more than a production diary, its a production petri dish

[Simon Höfer]

Yes, great source of media and information it is! The music is outstanding. Looping it all day while I study for exams. The knowledge seems to flow right into my brain. :D

[Mark Johnson]

I must admit that Zak's uber secret ultra confidential development site totally rocks. The only thing missing are the altered photos of Blaine. Zak, we should talk, as I can hook you up in that regard. :)

[Zak Forsman]

I keep this one taped to the top of my monitor for motivation....

[Blaine]

Move along folks. Nothing to see here.

[Zak Forsman]

slow day....

[Zak Forsman]

...didn't really....

[Zak Forsman]

....have time....

[Zak Forsman]

....to work on this project today.

[Zak Forsman]

****yawn***

[Zak Forsman]

we're shutting down development for a short while. Marion has been cast in a new play and i'm up to my balls in work for the next two weeks.

did get my timefest entry animatic done for the big fx scene... check it out.... last update for a while...

[DJ Lewis]

Whoa! That was simply awesome...

[Zak Forsman]

this project is tentatively on hold.

[Kyle Stebbins]

i love your type treatment, forsman. seriously.

[Zak Forsman]

okay well, this project is (unfortunately) pretty low priority right now. hopefully some time will open up and make it doable, but for now, our latest feature WHITE KNUCKLES and the short I F*CKING HATE YOU has been doing incredibly well with glowing write-ups on Aint I Cool News and other film news sites, and several requests from festivals to screen it. White Knuckles, which we shot back in September 2006, and IFHY both need me and my pimp masta madness going 100% full throttle right now.

for LA based DVXusers, a screening of White Knuckles will happen in June. and you can see a teaser hacked together by the film's director here...

Looking forward to another SABI film either way.

[Slimothy]

Sorry we couldn't make it tonight Zak. Let us know how it goes.

[Danielleus]

Hey, yo, just wanted to drop by and show some love. Looking forward, as always to yer stuff. What's up with the O2 banner. You working on that piece as well? Another piece that looks like a heavy hitter. But I wanna see yours especailly. Good luck getting er done. Can't scroll through the posts so I don't know what the deal is. Feel free to typographically slap me for not reading. I deserve it.

Good luck.

Daniel

[Zak Forsman]

M A C R O S T A R isn't going to be in timefest. it still exists. and will be made this summer. but not as part of a dvxfest unless the next theme happens to fit.

[Mark Harris]

major bummage.

[Zak Forsman]

fact is im going to do two shorts between now and the end of the year. money is already in place. one with Marion and John (from IFHY)...

http://www.sabipictures.com/heartofnow/gfx/castcrew/marion.jpghttp://www.sabipictures.com/heartofnow/gfx/castcrew/johntwoods.jpg

...and another with two actors who were in Heart of Now... Dusty Sorg and Mary Elise Hayden.

http://www.sabipictures.com/heartofnow/gfx/castcrew/maryelise.jpghttp://www.sabipictures.com/heartofnow/gfx/castcrew/dusty.jpg

...and on top of that, Sabi will do two more shorts directed by Kevin K. Shah (White Knuckles)...

[Mark Harris]

some bummage alleviated, though the waiting almost balances it out with some added bummage.

[smashedburrito]

excellent! Make sure to keep us updated.
