Last week I met a few film students, that had a few questions for me, so I decided to play along, specially also because I love to give an hand to persons that want to get into "filmmaking".
But,.. I was amazed to see how " scholarized " those students were. In short most of their questions were about " the bling " (term that I prefer to use on this late night) and fame . It's like they were students in law or business school.

Hi all,
Since there are a lot of action scenes in this film, we have to work out a nice choreography with the actors!
Meaning we have to teach them how to handle swords, punches, kicks and so on.
So yesterday, was the first practice day of the fighting choreography, so that when we start shooting everything goes smoothly as a charm.
And of course I tapped the whole thing and did a small "montage" of it!
Keep in mind that some of those actors do...Read more
Well,
since everybody seems to quit everything today, then screw this I'm quitting "filmmaking", it's over, no more directing from me, no more "39", no more "Reiki", screw this.
It sucks, there is no future in that anyway, I'm tired to handle that camera, to write for days and nights, to storyboard while I can't even draw, what the hell was I thinking!
Well, thank you Pat, you opened my eyes, I'm quitting, and I found my new path!

Every film needs amazing locations, locations that will get the audience to dream, to believe in your film and follow the characters in their adventure.
Now, since Reiki is a 100% low budget film, finding the locations for an action/fantasy film is far from easy!
But where there is will there is belief! And we managed to find some great locations!
First of all we found the locations for the "prese...Read more
Before the start of every shoot,
every production gets all the actors together for a first scrīpt reading and meeting,
again, I do things a different way, I get the cast and crew together, but instead of being in front of a scrīpt I put them in front of a few glasses of beer!
Very important before a shoot is to have your cast and crew know each other and enjoy each other! So that we can all have a blast during the shooting.
Anouk, Yannick and Stephanie could be there but they will next time...Read more
