It's a Wrap on The Campaign

7/15/08

We just completed production on The Campaign, a comedic short I wrote over the winter. It was shot as a stand-alone piece but will be shopped around as a pilot for a new series. Joshua Levine produced it along with co-producer and production designer Liz Cipollina. Chad Davidson, my cinematographer on Right Foot, Left Foot, once again did an amazing job.
The Campaign is a comedy that follows Bernice Garrety, a brilliant but down-on-her-luck campaign operative who is forced to represent arguably the worst possible candidate in the most remote and exasperating state house district. I wrote Bernice for Woodwyn Koons, wonderful actor I've been lucky enough to work with a few times. Woodwyn recently had a baby, so I decided to incorporate that into her character's story. Old friends like Dave Walton, Djuna Wahlrab, Chris Chan Roberson, Alek Lev and Scott Hurlbert, who I've collaborated with as many as ten times previously, were key participants. The great Debra Jo Rupp led our newest group of collaborators. It was a thrill and an honor to work with her. Jeremy Bobb, Ryan Woodle, and Larisa Polonsky and Gene Perelson also joined the ensemble. Here's a link to an article that ran in a local paper in Connecticut while we were shooting. We've just started editing, check back her for updates.

Obscured Pictures is Bar Mitzvah Clubbin'

1/2/08

The Bar Mitzvah Club now officially has its first producer: RJ Millard and his company Obscured Pictures. RJ started as the Press Officer for the Sundance Film Festival and a Producers' Services Rep at the Utah Film Commission. From there, he became head of marketing and publicity for Samuel Goldwyn Films and Roadside Attractions. In 2005, he founded Obscured Pictures, working with clients including New Line Cinema and IFC Films. I am thrilled to work with RJ and I'm sure we'll have more good news to report soon.
