when I started this blog five years ago, I was a pet sitter and the name animal-crackers made sense. now I'm a stay-at-home-dad and freelance writer, but rather than confuse everyone by getting a different blog, it's just easier to keep posting things here.

another month

Has it been a month since my last post?

January was crazy. Andrea and I wrote another movie, which is well on its way to being made. This time we're producing it and Andrea's directing.

(Our previous script, Fit Chix, was produced and directed by two friends who did an excellent job.)

The new movie: Destroy Roy. Andrea has assembled a cast and crew, located sites for shooting, set dates for shooting, written a theme song, and talked a local restaurant into catering the shoots for free. Oh, and she's maintaining a daily blog: destroyroy.wordpress.com.

If all goes well, the theme song will be recorded and mixed this weekend. Shooting will be finished by mid-March. And in April or May the movie will be edited and ready for release. The DVD will include a behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of Destroy Roy and possibly a music video of the theme song.

It's insane, really.

What's amazing is finding out how many people are willing to work for free. Well, "free" isn't the right word. The pay includes experience, film credit, fun, catered shoots and parties, and hanging out with our 5-year-old, Josh.

Oh, and of course Josh is in the movie. Non-speaking part if you can believe that.
