Soundtrack & Pre-Production

It has been a pretty good week for pre-production and current progress on the film. The last blog mentioned the possibility of a wonderful, new female artist to the soundtrack for the film. "She" was excited about the project and is interested in having one of her songs included. We are working out some of the details and will announce her song and bio in the very near future. Equally as exciting, another incredible, independent female artist has shown interest in the project. Ironically, I came upon her through MySpace and she has a beautiful voice and song that fits very well with the feel of the film. As with the previous artist, this young woman is excited about the possibilities and a few details need to be discussed with her as well. I will be very excited to announce them both very soon. Music is such an important part of my life and I wanted the soundtrack of the film to have some very unique sounds and a variety of musical artists. We have eight great (and unique) artists so far and I am looking forward to adding more.

The films progress is slow, but steady. No other way to put it than to say that it is an intense process and bringing all the pieces together takes time. Persistent patience is the key. I am just finishing the final two films of ten that I was watching to get "the feel" and cinemaphotograpy ideas for our film. Silent Lucidity is going to have a unique 'edge' to it and we are working adamantly to figure out how we are going to bring that to the audience. We are looking to find just the right combination to show the dynamics of the relationship between Garrett and Leah Brooks, the co-existing role of their son Jack, and the internal/emotional struggles of Garrett. Putting that all together in a unique, new viewpoint will be the fun part. I will be meeting again this week with the other two producers and we will be focusing on the remaining fundraising and narrowing in on our lead actress for the role of Leah Brooks. Stay tuned.
