They say you can't make a successful film in L.A. unless you have a big star in your movie. Well, we got one. The biggest star this side of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. His name is Bigfoot and he's ready for his close-up...Strange how it has all led to this. I never would have guessed 2 years ago when I came to this city that I would wind up making a killer bigfoot movie. But that's exactly what happened. Well, not a full-length movie, but if everything works out like I hope, that won't be too far behind. A lot of time, effort, and love went into this project, and for everyone that was involved in its creation, I have nothing but deep admiration and respect. The 4 day shoot that made up "Footprints" was, quite honestly, the most fun I've ever had working on a film. I only wish it could have lasted longer. I'm confident, though, that when the final result of all our efforts are finally seen, the dream of making a real movie will be realized. There were some amazing talents brought together to pull this off, not the least of which was our director, Hiro Koda. It was a blast watching him turn the words of the screenplay into reality. He knew what he wanted, knew how to get it, and never once did I see him not smiling on set. His enthusiasm was infectious, and that carried over onto the entire cast and crew. I've never seen a group of people having so much fun making a movie. It was exactly how this business SHOULD work. Just a bunch of friends getting together and shooting something. There was an energy surrounding this project that was palpable. Even though it was 40 degrees at night and everyone was bundled up tight, you could feel the warmth radiating from everyone. Man, we've got to do this again.
Only next time, we'll really flip a car over...
