more thorough description

kendall and i were talking just now and came up with this tasty little description. what do you all think?

Charlie, Andre and Mike are old friends from back east, though Andre and Mike haven’t been speaking since Andre took Mike’s girl, Marie, years ago. Now that Andre and Marie are broken up, Charlie tricks his two oldest friends to come out to his uncle’s cabin outside a small rural town to patch things up. Suddenly Marie’s new husband shows up looking for her, despite the fact that she should be hundreds of miles away in the city they all call home – not lost in the wilderness, and certainly not dead in a trunk in the middle of the living room. In the midst of their apparent oblivion to the dead body’s presence, a mystery of betrayal and obsession unravels, testing the boundaries of brotherhood and friendship.

just finished building a poster board and foam core model of the cabin to help with the pre-production process. check out pictures of the model here.

pics and videos

kendall and i just got back from a 4-day road trip, the main point of which was to visit the cabin in Moab and get lots of pics, videos and whatnot for pre-production. i just posted 4 pages of these pics and they can be seen here: page 1, page 2, page 3 & page 4.

i’ll post some video as soon as i figure out what’s the most relevant and will be building a model of the cabin soon as well.

it begins!

had a reading this past wednesday, September 15th, at the ole WONGDOODY (thank you, Ben Wiener!) all of the usual suspects were there, including Charlie Capen (Charlie), Romina Bovolini (Marie), Travis Stanberry (The Sheriff), Chris McKenna (Andre), Will Bowles (Ryan) and about a dozen other actors and guests.

Chris McKenna the general consensus was definitely positive – as for me, i was definitely excited to hear it being read by the actors and pleased to see it so well received. so now pre-production begins. kendall and i are headed to utah next week to check out the cabin where we plan to shoot this next spring.

i’ll be posting tons of pics when we return, so … there’s that to look forward to. =)
