The Ginkers Documentary

Sound engineer and sometimes writer, Bill made it down to Red Bank this weekend and we pounded out a decent session of work on our respective holidays. Mostly we continued our development of a comedic feature that is now in it's 3rd draft. The story was conceived by a mutual friend some years back and an early draft was written 3 winters ago when I was on break from college. Bill joined in last year and we managed to get a 2nd draft complete over winter vacation. With some delays and work on other projects we managed to get through the 1st act in just under 5 hours this week and I am liking the way the script is moving at a quick pace.

A talented local musician, Rob Maulshagen, and some of the Rucksack Films crew will be combining forces over the winter break to create a music video for one of his new works. Details to follow.

In Ginker news, the footage screening continues and continues to show a lot of potential and is much funnier than I remember it when we filmed.

My newest script is going through edits currently and after changing the plotline to favor a side character, I see it picking up steam. Set in 1983 and following a family new to the suburbs, it began as a Ginker side project, but has morphed into something entirely different. I am thinking of shooting it myself with a spare crew and cast in a short span of 5 or 6 days over the end of the summer if all goes well.
