So I made the hefty trip from Brooklyn to Glens Falls, New York, where John Yost and crew are in the middle of an 8-day shooting tear on THE BRAVE AND THE KIND. I (conveniently) showed up an hour after the day’s wrap, just in time to screen footage, talk schedule, drink some very cheap whiskey, and watch Rae and Randall bust out to painfully bad 90’s pop tunes. Mood on set is very loose — we’re on schedule, on budget, and John and Sean (the DP) are thrilled with the results. 60% of the movie is in the can at this point - we’ll probably be up to 80% by the time I head back to Kings County.

If you don’t know anything about what the heck I’m talking about, follow the link above. THE BRAVE AND THE KIND is one of the first films to emerge from the glorious confines of IndiePix Studios, a family drama that blurs the lines between fact and fiction in the life of one upstate New York family. Blogs, pics, and videos continue to chart our progress through pre-production, production, and eventually through the editing process. Keep tabs on the film’s official site, or ‘friend’ us (God, that’s a verb now…) on Facebook and MySpace. And check back in with the blog — I’ll do my best to keep you posted, let you in on why it takes being a wee bit crazy to make a movie.
