The Long, Slow Death Of A Filmmaker

Through-out the past couple of years I have been lucky enough to find a group of like-minded filmmakers who don't look back or think twice about what they have gotten themselves into. Honestly, it takes a kind of fearless, ignorant determination from a lot of people to make a film work on a shoe-string budget. It's hard to find people like that about anything really, especially film, and especially in Ohio. So this is a "thank you" to them and a congratulations to a film finished and sold: "The Long, Slow Death of a Twenty-Something."

To sum up the past year through-out all the seemingly endless production days there were sleeping DP's, broken 180° lines, poorly lit greenscreens, reshoots, equipment transports, much surveying of the many streets of Kent, a make shift steady cam, jib, lots of duct tape, the long and grueling editing process of perfectly timed transitions, continuity issues, tweeking, color grading, tweeking, audio clean up, and more tweeking. And at the end of it all, A dry erase board with the title "The Long, Slow Death of A Filmmaker" hung from the wall with 50+ more tweeks to make.

After all this, it might sound like I'm griping. I'm not. I loved it. It's what I dream about and I wouldn't have traded it for anything.

Peter Jackson gave a word of wisdom to his producer, who has been a mentor and producer for us. A word of wisdom worth stating that "Pain is temporary but film is forever."

I am very proud to have been a part of LSD20. It's funny and has a very relatable, honest look at our generation. I have watched the film probably 100+ times and honestly, I never get tired of it. When it comes out on DVD I know I will watch it many more times.

To all that were a part of the film, "Thank you". I am glad you were able to share in the process, an experience that will never be forgotten.
