The Emancipation Of Defeat

We finished.

It’s hard to believe we’re here, spent and chugging air, awaiting the judges’ decision. This film was a relationship, with all the ups, downs, hopes, love, dashed dreams, and arguments that are inextricable. There were pinnacles that left us high as a kite and feeling unstoppable with optimism and nadirs that felt like the third ring of Hell.

I started the Twitter feed for this movie the day Pedro and I shook hands over hamburgers and vowed to make a movie. I registered the account that evening and dutifully began memorializing the process of making “Clocking The T” with this tweet:

So, why this blog?

Punching Above Your Weight

16/04/17 09:37 Filed in: Post Production | Pre Production

We finished shooting the movie-in-the-movie sequences yesterday after ramping up through months of stop & start misery and pigfuckery. To be honest, the shoot was so painful it nearly broke me. Had pre-production for principal photography two years ago been this bad there’s no doubt in my mind that we would have pulled the plug on “Clocking the T” there and then.

Test Patterns

We just chugged through a week and a half of test screening the movie. Step one is, of course, getting people to watch it. In L.A., cold calling people to screen your self-financed micro-budget movie is pretty much asking them, "Is it okay if I show you my junk?" Mostly, they just run away.
