Post a CommentPost Update for E C S T A S Y
I'm posting a couple of clips from the movie for the Cast and Crew who worked extremely hard to make this movie happen. I couldn't thank them enough.
The clips are password protected to prevent duplication and distribution. Email luxfilmco@gmail.com to get a password.
These clips are in roughcut standard so most the sound effects aren't in place and the footage still needs to go through color correction. Just imagine those thing are in place :-)

It's been an epic shoot. 20 days of tough battles. Directing an independent film is not a vacation. It's definitely not for everybody. You can come in prepared, but all that stuff will be out the door the minute you start your day.
Conflicts arise and you need to think fast to solve them. Many times, I just wanted to leave it alone to see if it fixes itself. But that's not an option. Once the ball rolls, it rolls like a snow ball. Things just keeps piling up. So the challenge is to get rid of things in the ball's path so it doesn't get bigger....of course, the road ahead is not even, the ball rolls away from its course...
I'm browsing through the raw footage now and extremely happy with the results. I've cut 15 minutes of the film and already seeing it come alive.
Looking back to the days of the production. I'm really blessed to have such dedicated and professional cast & crew. Except for a few that (excuse me) should have never been part of it. But over all, the good ones always prevail.

Sweet Heaven Trailer
I just completed a promo trailer I directed starring Serinda Swan, Roger Cross (24) and Daniella Evangelista. It was entirely filmed in Vancouver. We got lucky. It was the hottest day of the year. The look definitely sells as Miami. Check it out.
Synopsis:
Sweet Heaven is a fast, sexy, glamorous action drama about life in the Miami underworld from the perspective of three young women.
Random Walk in AFM
Just completed polishing this trailer. Starring Devon Sawa, Serinda Swan, Bishop Brigante. We had to rush this so the producer can take in down to AFM. I had to cut down on my sleep hours to 3 hours. yikes!
Filming this one was very difficult although majority of it was shot in one location. Imagine a small size living room packed with 7 actors and 15 crew.....ouch.
I just really love how everyone stepped up on this project. Devon Sawa was really dedicated. He even flew down from LA to make the call time. Elisa King who's yelling at the door experimented with her character as a psychopath girlfriend. I remember filming that scene. Bishop (the gangster) didn't know what was coming to him. I didn't give him his lines and when he opened the door, his girlfriend started yelling at him about some girl. Bishop answered, "What do you mean she?".
