I'm really lookin forward to what this Fall brings. Been back in NYC now for over 3 weeks now (amazing, I've gotten to just be in one place for awhile), but gearing up to hit the road again soon. In a couple of weeks, I'll be in Hawaii for the Hawaii International Film Festival for the world premiere of THE PEOPLE I'VE SLEPT WITH, a film I had a hand in producing. Very excited about it as we are playing a half dozen or so film festivals coming up. After HIFF, will be the Golden Horse Film Festival in Taipei - my favorite city in the world! (Our entire list of fests is here on: Facebook - add us!)
Before that, I will be in LA on a writing retreat for a film I'm working on with my bud Ted Chung. I've talked about Ted a ton before and I probably will forever. I just have so much respect for the guy. We're working on a couple of project together that has me amped. Check out this online film critic episode they did on his film A Thousand Words:
[ critics ] - Webisode 1 from Steve Weiss, Zacuto USA on Vimeo.His is the second film reviewed in this episode.
With some other stuff happening, other than the PEOPLE premiere in TPE, back in Asia, I'll be hop-scotching back over there too. Can't find me one place to live and settle down in and my back on all these flights is really feeling it...
If anyone ever needs a great DP for something, let me introduce you to Eunah Lee. She's stellar. Period. And she has a great ear apparently for music. I really enjoyed this montage from a film we worked on together: MONTAGE! The music is from this great NYC composer named Duke B. Way to be, Duke B.
Caught a great band this weekend and I gotta find a way to fit them into films I work on. Hyper fun. You guys will like: The Orion Experience.
