Last night's premiere of THE LAST TENANT was a success!!  With the exception of a few minor sound and picture errors, the film is complete.  We have one more visual effect that needs to be completed, and Michael Halper is finishing the sound and picture this week.  Our final work that needs to be completed is the poster and DVD design, and for that we have brought in Peter Lugosi of Pure Skateboards (http://www.pureboardsusa.com).  Final DVD's will be ready to be shipped by the end of this week.  Just contact me if you want one!

Michael Halper and I have been working non-stop for well over a month now in order to finish our movie THE LAST TENANT, but the day of the Premiere is finally here, and the film is complete!!  Check out the page (http://www.ascentiafilms.com/Ascentia_Films/The_Last_Tenant.html).  Thanks go out to all the cast and crew, and also Rob Gokee for the score, Nate Caauwe for the VFX, and Mitch Rouse for helping us finalize some of the color correction.  Mark Johnson of Fat Monster Films, and Jack Daniel Stanley also need to be thanked for their very valuable input and advice.

LITTLE WONDERS has once again been pushed back, this time for an undisclosed length.  I am hoping that I will still be able to work on the film once production gets rescheduled.

Michael Halper and I have brought in Nate Caauwe of Fat Monster Films (www.fatmonsterfilms.com) to help us with Visual Effects for our movie THE LAST TENANT.  The guy is amazing, and you should check out his reel at (htttp://vimeo.com/1376460).  Our other hire, Rob Gokee, is already working on the score.  The film is awesome!  With all this great collaboration, we are both really happy with how it's turning out.

The Premiere for THROWAWAY took place last night and was a success!  The movie looks great, and was a big success for Directors Dennis Widmyer and Brian Fitzpatrick, and also Cinematographer Michael Halper.  The film (in which I was Key Grip) has already begun making the festival rounds.

Production for LITTLE WONDERS has been pushed back until July 21.  I am obviously disappointed, but the good news about this is that Michael Halper and I can put our entire focus on finishing THE LAST TENANT.  We are currently seeking a composer for our score, and are considering some visual effects for the movie as well.  We have our premiere scheduled for July 19.
