Working On A Feature Film.

For years I have always wanted to film and edit a featured film of my own, but you have to crawl before you walk right. Well it's a good thing that I have the opportunity to crawl first. Since the last week in November I have been working on the post-production crew for this feature film called the Emigrant produced by Henry Sosa and directed by Alejandro Santiago Ciena. It's a film about a young Haitian kid who lives through the 2010 earthquake that devastated Haiti. The film is beautifully shot and has a great story. Make sure you view the trailer.

 During the short time working on this project I have learned a lot about pre-production. Even though I am working on the post-production end. There are many factors that you have to take into account when filming a large production like this. Especially on a low end budget.  You really don't know what to expect as a first time filmmaker. I am so grateful to be part of a production like this. It has allowed me to observe what mistakes not to make, and what to do right.

Now I know what to expect when we start filming the move "Dead Serious" for Envisible Empire and Making the Frat: The Old School for WIJAH publishing. I know this blog post seems like the ramblings of an exited wet be hind the ears new comer to the film industry. But that is not it at all. My experience and hard work has brought me to this point and I have much more to learn and skills to acquire. When you have passion for what you do as a profession you are always seeking to expand your skill sets in order to perfect that profession. You will never stop learning. Till the next post keep being creative.
