Hello. I’m Tom. This is my first post. I co-produced, co-directed, and co-edited The Olin Experience with Kevin in the spring of 2005. It was our first real production together, and it was well-received. Now that we’ve handled a ten-minute documentary in a month, the next logical step is to produce a feature-length dramatic film, while in the senior year of our engineering educations. Should be good times. I’m planning on writing some more script tonight. We are down to only seven scenes that haven’t been written, and about 15 that need to be re-written before we enter the “pre-final draft” stage. We want a final draft by the time school starts. Kevin and I have equal roles in the project as far as story development goes, but I have done most of the writing.
Then, we need to begin casting! We’ll be hitting up all of BaBOW (Babson, Brandeis, Olin, Wellesley), looking for a male lead, a male supporting role, and two female supporting roles. There will also be some minor characters, and of course extras! We also need a lot of crew - we need help with lighting, sound, filming, still photography, assistant producing and directing, casting, etc. You know all those names in the credits at the end of a movie? We have to fill most of those roles.
I will be posting as I write more for the movie. I hope you like reading my thoughts. Stay tuned!
