Recent Developments

by Eric Walter
January 27th, 2010

After a long hiatus from the blogging world, I have finally gotten my feet on the ground enough to return and share my thoughts.

First off, I’ve been busy.

In August of ’08, I made the move from Maryland to Los Angeles where I proceeded to starve on the Venice beach boardwalk for the remainder of the year. Venice is a good time. After living out here for over a year, I’ve grown accustomed to the westside of LA. I very rarely make the trek out to Hollywood. Only if I have a decent reason.

For the past five months, I’ve been living in Culver City developing my first feature documentary film based on the infamous Amityville Horror case. The details of this project have yet to be officially announced, but don’t worry. I’m very close.

I’ve also formed a production company, Film Regions International, Inc, with an aspiring producer from Bakersfield, John Blythe. John is currently studying entertainment law and management at UCLA and co-producing the upcoming documentary. He’s the sinister-looking guy standing next me in the attached photo. Although, I’m not too sure who looks more sinister. Hard to tell.

So, it feels great to be posting again as I plan on making it a priority, especially in conjunction with the release of our documentary film. Please stand by for updates.


Promotional Photography

Today’s quick photo shoot really payed off. I decided I should try something more simple that captured the character’s facial expression and complimented the film in a more subtle way. I’ve included various shots that I am playing with at the moment. As always, let me know what you think.

Very pleased with today’s footage! We completed the entire set of interior shots and now have only scenes 9-10 to focus on tomorrow. I will be posting some new behind the scenes footage soon. For now, enjoy our group shot!

After conducting various re-shoots, we were able to complete both scenes. We’re a bit behind schedule now, being that we needed to shoot scenes 9-10 today. These scenes will be shot next Sunday, April 6. Parke and I are headed out Tuesday to record location audio for post. Overall, I’m pleased with where we are and what we’ve been able to accomplish.

I was very pleased with how our first shoot went down. The crew was very cooperative and determined to get the job done. After reviewing the footage I’ve seen a few things I’d like to re-shoot tomorrow in order to achieve the effect I’m looking for on screen.

Here are a few production shots from the Sammy Barnes cam. Enjoy!
