Production journal
(more for my sake than anything else - I bet this will be boring boring boring)

July
18th: Read about a million scripts.
19th: Read another million scripts. One definitely stands out.
20th: Getting excited about this particular script. Contacted the writer, had very insightful conversations about the story.
21st: I'm liking this script more and more. Being in Alaska might not be a bad thing after all - we do have great locations.
22nd: Discussed script with Mike and Kris - we're not quite ready to commit yet. Fleshed out the production schedule. Due in 13 weeks! I'm scared. Script finalization deadline is the 30th.
23rd: More back and forth with the writer. This guy really knows his screenwriting. MoviePoet is such a fabulous resource! Thank you Chris M.!
August
27th: Have a script. Should have finished it much sooner.
30th: Website updated. Found a key prop. Still looking for locations.

Gabriel, you PM'd me asking to read the script for 'North of Hell'. I need your email address in order to send it to you.

[Tom Shortridge]

hey, just wondering if you'd already found your script.

 

[gabrielflorit]

Thanks people! I need to put up a production journal, to remind me I'm really doing this.

Tom, emailed you back.

 

[Norm Sanders]

Checking in so I can keep abreast of your film updates. Looking forward to it!

Finally: I got a script! Today we setup a website and start the audition process.

 

[gabrielflorit]

Website updated. We posted an ad on craigslist last week - got a decent number of replies. Who knows what talent Anchorage holds! Maybe with Palin being picked as the VP now everyone will move up to AK from Los Angeles. We do call this place "Los Anchorage" after all....

Anyhow. I got an art director - he's a great guy, very meticulous. Tomorrow we get together for prop-hunting. I also need to: put up casting fliers all over town, and create a 2 second logo for my newly setup production company. Oh yes, and contact location scouts to see about renting a ... location.

 

[gabrielflorit]

Phew! This weekend has been busy busy busy. Set up a website, got another craiglist ad going, put up flyers everywhere, started receiving headshots/resumes, started calling about renting an audition venue (I think Out North, one of the local theaters in town, is going to give me a discounted rate - I was part of their Rocky Horror Show last year), I might have found a great bar to shoot in - BEFORE THEY OPEN, which is fantabulous.

What else... Oh yes of course, I'm building a set. I'm BUILDING A SET! How cool is that. I found a great guy, Cliff Chandler, he's a local artist and we'll be building a set right on his yard.

I hope I have enough time for everything. Good thing my girlfriend just moved to Boston. It wouldn't be fair to her, to not see her until Oct. 27...

How in the world do you married people do this????

 

[Chris Messineo]

Thanks for the shout out up above.

I'm so glad you found a script through MoviePoet and that script you found is awesome. I can't wait to see the finished film.

 

[gabrielflorit]

Well, thank you for advertising MP! I would have never found it otherwise. It's a great resource.

 

[gabrielflorit]

Updated production shots.

 

[gabrielflorit]

Found a great location for the bar scene, Club Paris in downtown Anchorage.

 

[gabrielflorit]

Auditions start this week - I'm so excited. We're no longer building a set, since we found the real deal - a very sweet location. I hope everything comes together - we only have one chance. Clif and I will be really busy in the next couple days, finding everything we need to dress the set.
