FAT MONSTER FILMS presents "O2" ... Every. Breath. Counts.

We have our crew in place and believe we have all the necessary bases covered. We are particularly gratified to have several DVXUSERs flying in for the shoot. Friday May 23rd will be a pre-light session with Levie Isaacks ASC and we will be shooting all day Saturday and Sunday (24th-25th) at Laurel Canyon Stages in North Hollywood.

We are delighted to have a team experienced with shooting on the RED ONE (Geoff Reisner, Matt Garrett and Kholi Hicks). We're hoping to have a truly good looking short as we will be shooting 4k and will be using the very nice ZEISS cinema primes (16mm, 24mm, 40mm, 50mm and 85mm) that Matty G. rode to victory with in the last fest. Many many thanks to Sam Druckerman at Red4kLA.com for assisting us.

The script has been tightened up considerably in revision 11 and I particularly want to thank Jack Daniel Stanley and Barry Green for their notes and guidance.

We are trying hard to learn from the many mistakes that we have made in the past and continue progressing as film makers and as a production company.

One pledge we will make is that Fat Monster will ALWAYS have its doors open to DVXUSERs and we welcome any of you to join us on our shoots here in Los Angeles at any time. Accommodations are spartan but the camaraderie is always good with egos properly deflated. Our casa is your casa (and if things get too crowded we'll spill over to Luis' place).

Jesus! Are all those people coming!!!??? Why can't I just make films in a cave in the desert? Everybody wants to be all professional.....

If you want to make films in a cave, I do believe "al qaeda" is hiring.

But seriously, if you need a cave, let me know.
