Boundaries of Attraction (Clip)

Hey folks! Wondering what I've been up to? A few weeks before this semester started, I worked designing lights and as technical director on a shoot for a short titled Boundaries of Attraction in New Hampshire. The director released this clip a few days ago. It features both a crane shot and an all-in-one traveling camera shot directed by yours truly. I'm proud of it, and I want you to check it out!

Hope you enjoy! :-D

First Job & Clarification

I have my first real job in this streak of freelancing!

I will be designing lights and working some production bits for a short film called Boundaries of Attraction, written by Jamie Fessenden and produced by Dunkirk Studios in New Hampshire.  I'll be heading up there for August 2-10.  For me it's a professional gig with copy, credit, room, and board, as well as a small stipend.  Please note that I've reduced the goal of my ChipIn based on my pay.

I'm really excited about this one--it addresses some powerful themes about sexuality and relationships, and forces the viewer to blur the lines between preconceived categories.  I don't want to give too much away, but it's got a winning script and I'm happy to be working on it.

If you're looking for work on a film set, these guys are looking for a few PAs and set hands.  Let me know if you're interested and I'll see if I can't get you in touch with Jamie.

As for my ChipIn, I should clarify--I'm not asking my friends who are as poor as I am to give me tons of money!  I'd even be delighted and surprised if ANYONE contributed any amount at all.  For me, it's a metric on how much I've been able to work.  If I manage to make the amount contributed bar hit the goal bar (as I bring the goal lower with each gig), I will have had an extremely successful summer.  So, if you ARE as poor as me, just help me out with introductions, if you can make any.  If you're not, then both connections and contributions would be awesome, and taken as a great, great favor.  If you can't help at all, well call me anyway, I'm sure I miss hanging out with you, and I've got plenty of free time!

Living the dream...

And off I go...

Well folks, it's official. I've quit my day job, because I hate it, and decided to pursue what I love: film and theater tech. Some day I want to be a director. I'm not there yet, but I have to start somewhere.

I've got one or two connections, and I'm pursuing a few acting roles as well in order to meet people (and I get to act, which is FUN), but I need two things pretty sorely:
-More connections, to get jobs.
-Money, because I have no job.

I'm sort of out there pursuing the dream at this point, so if any of you have those connections, or have a few bucks you wouldn't mind throwing my way, then either get in touch with me (it's probably been TOO long since we talked) or click the "ChipIn!" widget thingy to the left and be amazing enough to contribute. I'm aiming at $2,000 because that's how much I'd like to be able to make to survive this summer. It's a pretty arbitrary number.

Well, anyways, wish me luck, and all the best, and thank you for reading! (you can also stay updated at http://NickIsOnAnAdventure.chipin.com/)

Will keep you all posted...
