The strip-board for the breakdown is finished. I took the precaution of making it as well on a physical board. I don't want to find myself somewhere in the middle of nowhere and discover that the laptop decides to quit. I had a dream about that.
In the meantime, I will work on tension between two of the characters. We have to make a short with the new camera before we go to Paraguay. Let's make all of our mistakes here, not in the jungle. We have the right sound gear for the Cannon 5D. After we have our production gear in place, we will work on our post-production landscape.
This is the day I should have been on a plane to Paraguay, and solve every single issue in two weeks, including and especially actors and locations. Instead, we can breath a little while we strengthen ourselves.
A good friend of my, and father of one of my dearest friends, renown artist Hermann Guggiari, died in Paraguay. He was a living legend there. Cheers Hermann. Sprinkle some of your talent this way.
Nothing just shapes easily from nothing into a finished entity, whatever it may be. BETWEEN LIFETIMES started out as a short script for a short film and has since evolved into a full feature length screenplay. This is its story.
Welcome to our story
I started writing BETWEEN LIFETIMES in 2006. My son Lucas would sleep behind me as I typed away. I based the child's character on Lucas. My intention was to complete the script quickly, so I could cast Lucas as that child. As the script grew, so did Lucas.
Flash forward. It's 2012. Lucas is at least half a foot taller than me. The story came into its own after more than a few re-writes, and now I find myself on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs in an attempt to bring BEWTWEEN LIFETIMES to the big screen.
Carrie Clark , Lauri Hakola, and I (Antonio Weiss) are preparing to go film in Paraguay south America, in the next few months. BETWEEN LIFETIMES has become EL RIO DE LAS VIDAS, as it was translated in Spanish to adapt it to the culture and languages of Paraguay (Spanish and Guarani)
