It's hard to believe, but production officially wrapped on "Guiding Finn" Friday night. After 2 months, this latest film is in the can. Everyone worked so hard and pushed through 2 of the hottest months on record here in Rochester, and I think we got a pretty darn good movie! Last night, I finished the first offical rough cut of the film. This week, Bart and I will go through scene by scene and start tightening it, and he'll start the music.
Friday night, after the 'Martini-Shot' (the final shot of the film), we gathered together for a picture. Our awesome production photographer, Kim Price, snapped this one of all of us, and I love it!
Here's a who's who:
Seated on the bottom left is Assistant Director Jill Schaeffer.Seated in the middle is Morey 'God' Fazzi. To Morey's left is Bart. To his right is me. And to my right is Audio Engineer Frank Sanseri.
It always feels so good to set out to make a film and watch everything come together and watch the cast and crew bond and watch as the scenes play out and then to call cut for that final time... It's a special feeling, and there's no other one like it in the world!
