Summer of 2012

The Summer of 2012 presented me with one of my biggest challenges so far as a film maker. A week before production was suppose to begin, I received a phone call offering me a job Directing a feature length film called "The Will".   Concerned with the amount of time (or lack there of) I would have to prepare for this project I quickly set off on finding out all the details. After receiving all the information, I quickly contacted Ibzan Lagos and offered him the role as my Director of Photography. I told him we would have 5 days to film a feature length movie in a Ft. Lauderdale hotel. He agreed to the terms and we set off on preparing for this film. It was a long week of meetings, readings, and conference calls; not failing to mention sleepless nights of script changes, lining, and creating shooting schedules, shot lists, and obtaining all the necessary paperwork we would need to begin filming this. Ibzan and I moved into our hotel room Saturday, unpacking our bags and settling our gear we then began to film a few minor scenes to lighten the workload on the other days. The days were long and challenging but with the help of some familiar faces like Irving Mercado and Brian Brody we managed to get this film finished on time.

Here are a few photos from the production:
