WORDS WORDS WORDS

We need words. And those words need to tell a good story so we can capture them in our cameras. Do you have those words? We have been reading short and feature scripts non stop hunting for that next project. 97% have not been good enough to make it half way through. The other 2.5% require us to win the mega-millions to make it. The other 5% have some potential given a little massaging. Yeah, we're a bit of a script snobs. But do we expect for the microbudget?

ITS BEEN A WHILE

Haven't posted in a while. Not that anyone actually reads this. But here are some updates in the fine world of 386 Films. PARTING is making its way out into the festival world. This is a long ass process that takes months of waiting to find out if the film has been accepted. During this time The streamable film has to be pulled from all sites. So. We wait.

386 Films is venturing into a new territory of commercial projects. Under a new banner, the web site will be launched soon. A few projects are in the works. A commercial for a local business and a music video shoot for a musician with a famous last name will be done by February. More on these later.

We are also searching for a new narrative project to begin soon.

PREMIERE PREMIERE

World Premiere planned for November 15th. Still lots to do. Yikes! Waiting on final score to replace stand-in music. Waiting for final audio mix. Waiting to complete all final touches. Waiting isn't really waiting at all. With the fast approaching deadline and a party planned, so much to do. Luckily, we have angels around that offered their services and support to make this happen. Now its up to the team to pull it all together and rock out this premiere. Stay tuned.

MUSIC TO MY EARS

As we all know film does not stand on its own as a visual medium. Sound is equally if not more important. But even before there was sound in those old scratchy black/white moving pictures there was music. Nothing is more powerful in film than the right chemistry coupling of powerful music and its visual love slave. Music can often take a back seat in most movies. Its the river upon which the pretty sail boats glide. Its there. Subliminally or in your face. It just is. Nothing gets the goose bumps popping more than finding that right piece of music for the right piece of story. Sometimes the score isn't "music" at all. Sometimes it's drones of noise artfully arranged. This, to me can be just as beautiful as a 70 piece orchestra. Music for PARTING is being composed from many angles. Chris Fragale (aka Red Orchestra) is composing original pieces ranging from classic music beds to aforementioned drones. Tony Ionno (aka Tony Ionno) is also composing and contributing music ideas. While I fill in the accent pieces and underbelly sounds, where when combined and layered this three tier cake makes one hell of a musical marriage. Music can swing a scene from one spectrum to another. It sets the tone. Wrong music for a scene can completely alter its feel and acceptance. Music cannot out weigh the visuals or story either. The magic is in the balance. I think we have spent about equal working hours on the visuals and the audio to this point in post-production. By the time we wrap this fish, that newspaper will be music heavy. We got a lot of complements for the score of our previous film, Breaking Val. I think you'll find the PARTING score to be even more delicious. Stay tuned.
