Up at five today and out to Sauvie's Island with producer Neil Kopp and cinematographer Greg Schmitt for my upcoming short film, But A Dream. We plan to shoot the film as if it's happening just before dawn in the dreamy crepuscular light. Of course there won't be enough light at that time, but we wanted to see it with our eyes in order to apply some movie magic to later in the day for a similar look.

We had a blast. It was really great to spend the morning with two guys that love what they do that bring positive attitudes and extreme competence to the project. One thing I really apreciate is the lack of posturing and defensiveness I have often experienced with less experienced filmmakers.
I love making movies.
