Where to begin...
--December 9 became an important day in the history of MOTW. This was the day that we conducted our first-ever meeting on the film.
I would call it a pre-production meeting officially, but basically it was the first time I was able to chat in person with other members of the cast about the movie and what I have in mind for the movie.
Amidst the hustle of holiday shoppers at a mall not far from my home, I got a chance to sit down and talk with my friend Jason (who'll be playing one of the roles and helping out behind the scenes) and his friend Dave, who's officially has been added to the cast. More about him in a second. I also invited my friend Josh to the meeting as well, but an unfortunate accident involving a friend of his caused him at the last minute not to go. (His friend, by the way, is doing better, so that's good news).
After lunch, the three of us got to sit down and talk for over an hour about the movie and what I had in mind not just for the movie, but for each of the characters as well. It was a good meeting, as it gave us a chance not only to meet in person for the first time, but also to break the ice and go over things for what lies ahead when we start filming next year.
Overall, I consider this meeting a total success and we're already planning to have another get together soon.
--Now, a quick word about the newest addition to the cast. Back in June, when this project was going to be a mini-series and I was desperately looking for help, Jason not only offered his services but mentioned that he knew some others who'll be interested as well. Dave was one of those who were interested. Not only is he one of Jason's best friends, but he's also done some acting as well. After meeting him for the first time and talking things over, I found him to be a perfect fit for one of the key roles in the movie. So let me officially welcome Dave to the MOTW crew. I'll post a picture of him soon.
--Next up: to the right is something that my friend Bobby over at Waveride Entertainment put together for me. This is the first official teaser poster for MOTW. Very, very cool looking. I hope to add a few more posters like this in the months ahead.-- And finally, if you've noticed, this blog site has undergone quite a few changes. The headline's a lot bigger, I've added the logo to the film to the far right, included some links to current (and future) werewolf movie links and some other touches. Sometime in the coming months, this very site will be changing to more of a production diary page, for I'll be planning an official website devoted to MOTW, complete with videos, photos, and everything else devoted to this independent picture. Stay tuned, I'll keep you posted.
Before I conclude this post, I want to give a shout out to someone who came across this very blog site looking for werewolf films: Mike Hickey. We've exchanged emails several times and he's become quite a good online friend. He tells me that one day, he wants to do a werewolf film of his own, although it's still a pipe dream right now, collecting dust atop his computer desk. I hope, however, that he goes through with his plan. This project of mine has been something I've been involved with for over a decade, and even though it's gone through countless changes and rewrites, I've never given up on it. So I hope that he doesn't give up on his as well. Also, if this blog site, documenting all the good (and bad) things of putting this project of mine together, helps him in any way, then I'm honored to help.
That's it for now. Told you it was a jam-packed update. I hope to have another update for you soon.
