Don't get too hyped up lol. I'm happy for the film, but it's just a starting point. It's sort of an odd beast since it's started out to be a strange dark Japanese-gangster-esque film in black-and-white. Then we sold out, lol. Struggling to make the film satisfy the desires of the distributors has made it more strange, but in a way that's a bit less cohesive and more random (without the strong B&W visual to tie it all together). And we had to forgo some effects we just couldn't make look decent in the color version, like a certain building that will be on fire in the black-and-white version. But I really wanted this to be a starting point for my crew's film-making path, and solid step for everyone else, and my artistic ego's willing to take a smirking gutpunch if it helps launch everyone further faster into proper budgets, by having something I did prove a profit (instead of a black-and-white cult-praised art film, which would have warmed my inner cockles).

I'm still happy with the color cut, since it's unique and sometimes challenges the audience. It's certainly a dark film that's better to watch in quiet solitude to catch some of the philosophy, both overtly on strategy, and the subtext. And Eric's really good in it. Sorry, you are dude. (I heard he's self-conscious about the role). Everyone's been complimenting him in the role, and not even aware it's certainly a role outside of his comfort zone at that time.

See, I told you I shoulda stunt-doubled for that sex scene lol. I been taking a sex workshop at the local brothel.

haha

oh man, worked with the 5.1 surround guys this weekend, and it's sounding so good now. They fixed like all sync issues with the adr, just gave it this very standard film/tv levels which sound real pro. On top of that my producer was adding more and more foley and stuff up to the last minute. It's finally sounding on par with the visuals.
