Cool! I can see that Grimm Brothers fest got under your skin.

 

[AJ Brooks]

My friend is working on Grimm right here in my own Portland neighborhood! First Warner Bros. with Amanda Seyfried bite on Red and the Wolf, then NBC's "Grimm" takes another bite! Gotta fight back!

But no, this one won't be a dark fairy tale. It's a true campfire story.

 

[Rodney V. Smith]

AJ! Nice to see you in for this romp! I'll be expecting your usual badassery... just so you know....

 

[AJ Brooks]

I actually dropped my badassery while shooting Sente Sente and broke it. I sent it out for repair and I'm hoping to get it back before the deadline, but the vendor's giving me the run-around. My smartassery is still in tact, so I'll rely on that for the time being.

 

[Matt Harris]

Dude you should have flown back to Africa for a day and shot Sente Sente 2.

Haha, if I go back I'm doing a feature!

UPDATED with cast/crew and a sneak pic at the storyboard of the first scene.

I can't draw, but hopefully it communicates what needs be!

 

[Noel Evans]

Good to see you back AJ.

 

[Rodney V. Smith]

So what's going on in here? I'm seeing a disturbing lack of stills. Come on AJ: let us know what imagery you;re throwing our way this time so we can quake in our little red booties.

 

[AJ Brooks]

Shooting starts in the morning. I will at least post some still from the set.

 

[JaceBrownlow]

hope you guys had a smooth shoot!

 

[Alan H. Chang]

One more day!

 

[Amir Assasnik]

Im excited to see your work again. I think next time we send you to Cambodia to let your creative side flow

 

[Ryan E. Walters]

Glad to be a part of the team- I think we walked away with some really strong images that will help you tell your story well.

 

[AJ Brooks]

Updated the first page with a few grabs.

 

[Elton]
