apparently Michael Musto (who’s rant about Carrie Prejean on Keith Olbermann’s “Countdown” got him into a bit of a pickle back in the day) apparently LOVES Charlie Capen!. Capen is the actor for which the role of Charlie was originally written. check out his article on The Village Voice. it’s actually pretty funny and short too. check it out!

the video above is the commercial in which Musto apparently first saw Capen and below is the music video for Kyle Puccia’s gorgeous song “Broken People” which we produced, starting Charlie with Murisa Harba.

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.

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.

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. =)
