Natalie Portman is haunted by herself. She sees doppelgangers everywhere and thinks everyone has bad intentions towards her. The line between reality and fantasy dwindles throughout the amazing film directed by Darren Aronofsky. Personally, I feel this is his second masterpiece after Requiem for a Dream. I’ve read that he considers Black Swan a companion… [Read more…]
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is a fantasy war epic set in Nazi-occupied France in 1944. The film is divided into five chapters; four to introduce the characters leading two plot lines and the final chapter has them both clash to change history and the way World War II ended. The film is a peculiar war film… [Read more…]
>Some updates: Zimbabwe and Noah is still alive. Just in a coma. Riley is doing preproduction on his horror movie right now so we probably won’t get him back for a couple of weeks but the good news is that the movie is finish-able. There’s a new ending fix the absence of our leading lady/traitor,… [Read more…]
>So, I’m trying to get ahold of the actors to get ready for the next shoot. Marleen has been un-reachable for the last couple of weeks. Turns out, because she was fucking somebody on the set, and when her boyfriend found out about this, he refused to let her finish the shoot and the movie.… [Read more…]

>On September 11, 2010 we got together to shoot “The Basement” scene. This is the climax of the movie, this is where all these characters with awkward relationships with each other barricade themselves in the basement of the cabin, waiting for midnight and Y2K. It wasn’t a good start. I had tonsillitis the week before… [Read more…]
While we were at the cabin, it was discussed how exactly we were going to shoot the scenes of Zimbabwe and Noah at home (these scenes start the movie, we leave their home and go to the cabin where the story really starts). It was brought up that they should live at the beach since… [Read more…]
>Originally, when I wrote Zimbabwe and Noah back in February it was a stoner comedy that starred only my friends as the four leads, we were going to use a beach house (located in Los Osos, California) that was available to us. In the following five months, I ended up replacing two of the main… [Read more…]
>So, we haven’t done a scene since the 5th (I think?). I stopped because I knew it was going to get gay working around people and their finals, but the good news is that everyone is pretty much done which means we’re continuing this shit tomorrow (today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday). The scene involves… [Read more…]
>So, it was a really funny shoot yesterday. I thew away what I wrote and I had everyone there throw out funny lines for Matt to say. In the end it took us about four hours to shoot one page but it’s going to be a funny minute in the movie! I’m not going to… [Read more…]
