IFP-Sundance

STANDING KNEE-DEEP IN WATER — THE AFTER-SUNDANCE BLOG

I empty my pockets of biz cards, coffee receipts and contacts written on scraps of napkins and sing-think to myself, ala Rosemary Clooney – “Is that all there is?…” “Let us know when you want to have dinner” a filmmaker Sundance vet texts. “The post Sundance blues are real. Believe it.” These thoughts must be truthfully reported in this blog even though reading about luxury problems like this would typically make me want to punch the writer. I was secretly expecting that once you got into Sundance you simply had to hand out butcher tickets to distributors and dig out […]

MEETING ROBERT REDFORD: THE “DURING SUNDANCE” BLOG

I’ve been considering many cold opening quotes to this “During Sundance” blog ranging from, “Bagels again?” to, “Marina Abramovic is in the next bathroom stall!” I’ll let Robert Redford start it with, “There’s Sundance here,” as he points towards the floor at the Directors Brunch “And then there’s Park City,” he indicates down the mountain. “Park City is not Sundance.” We directors nod. Bob understands. We won’t buy into the machine of the market place. Our film is already the gold and Bob is warning us to stay grounded. We then instantly bum rush him as soon as his speech […]

THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

Today is the day. I’ve been working to finish this movie since 2006. There were moments in the six years since putting pen to page during which I couldn’t make this day out in my future. Not that I considered quitting, that isn’t my style, but I did at times feel like the journey of making this film would stretch into eternity. This is not unprecedented, check out Ellison’s second book or Wendell B. Harris’ second movie. To avoid that fate I had to take an extreme measure and commit myself to working 12 hours a day 7 days a week until the movie was finished. This […]

WELCOME TO PINE HILL: THE BREAKOUT HIT OF SLAMDANCE 2012!

Welcome to Pine Hill (4 minute clip, Backyard scene) from K M on Vimeo. Or What we’re doing to get people to see our movie in Park City “What do you want out of this film?” That’s been one of the first things people ask when starting to talk about Welcome to Pine Hill. If they really like it, they ask, “What’s your festival strategy?” Since Pine Hill was not the product of years of planning or a business model, the answer to the questions was easy: I wanted to finish the film; my festival strategy was to get into […]

PREPPING “MY BEST DAY” FOR SUNDANCE

If I had a child, I would name it Reel. Reel 2-pop Greenwell. Reel because breaking my movie in 15 minute reels has bought me time to work on one part the movie while the composer, sound mixer or color corrector is working on another. There is one more chance for every one to make it better before it goes off into the jaws of Sundance. 2-pop because if everyone gets the same reel with 2 frames of tone popping at the front of the reel and the back end of the reel– If those pops line up to the […]

TEN MINUTES. DOESN’T SEEM LIKE MUCH RIGHT?

Written in collaboration with Clay McLeod Chapman Our short film—Henley—had been back-burning in our brains for over five years. Clay had published a novel back in 2003 called Miss Corpus. Craig, it turns out, was the only person who read it. There’s a chapter in the book, The Henley Road Motel, which is all about a boy growing up in a family-run roach motel. Think lil’ Normie Bates before donning mom’s summer dress. When business begins to dwindle, our 9-year-old hero cracks a pretty devious scheme to bring customers back to the family business—and poof: A short film is born. […]
