PUSH - Directed by Matt Sconce

It is interesting watching each film appear as approved one by one on the status list. I feel the tension for the poor people still waiting. They are almost all approved now so I would expexct the viewing to be in the next couple of days.

An interesting and horrifying twist here on the home front. The city board members are trying to defund our Fresno City Film Comission. the vote is today and a ton of filmmakers are showing up to protest it and state reasons why it should not be done. It would be devastating if that vote passes. The vote is at 2:00pm PST.

Mark Aro, myself and around 12 other directors, producers and film people spoke before the Fresno City Council today in front of TV cameras and a packed standing-room-only house. We kindly told them the wonderful work that the Fresno Film Commission has done to facilitate movie making in the Fresno area. We shared the importance of patience in the process, as training and equiping talented workers in the field of making movies is a gradual process. I personally shared with them that we at Hyperactive and Aftershock studios have shot four movies in the Fresno area in the last year. We have spent thousands of dollars in goods and services in the town and have only been a small example of what could happen on a large scale if the city becomes really desireous of a film industry and supports that goal in the area. We shared other stories of cities the size of Fresno that have established film industries and what that partnership has done to provide literally millions of dollars in higher revenues to those cities.

When I talked money, I noticed that they were all intently listening. Hopefully they didn't 'can' the position of film commission. It was ironic that they were going to stop funding the film commission but wanted to spend more money on a few portable bleachers for only one city park than his entire yearly salary. I have to talk to Mark Aro and see what ended up happening as I had to go early and help Matt with something. It was nice to see all who showed up to represent us and our industry there today in Fresno. Well done to all. :love4:
 
We are in a lull until we can vote...

This location was a great find. I remember walking in and think that it would be exactly what I wanted for a certain scene in PUSH. While scoping it out, I realized that it was filled with pigeons. I thought "Wow...Pigeons must have made this their home. Look at all this pigeon poop..... I walked closer to the wall to investigate and stepped in something soft, squishy, and stinky. It was not pigeon poop. It was definitely proof, someone else had made their home their as well...........
 
yes those local residents that live in their cardboard homes tend to leave big squishy around often!
 
Hey, thanks for stopping by. Can't wait to see work from fellow Fresnians. Love the grabs and the set. Are you renting much gear or do you own (or your crew own) most of it.

Can't wait. Good work finishing. Good luck.

Yep, on a commercial shoot, Matt laughed at a cow and it peed violently. The wind caught the pee and whipped it into his mouth. The camera was rolling, but it was focused on his hands...not his expression of gagging death. If we had recorded it, we might have won 10,000 on Americas Funniest Home Videos. Lets just say...no kissin for a while...:bath:
