Cast and Crew

Omied, Stacey and I sat down today and hashed out our decisions on the cast. I've been getting in contact with some of the Actors we've picked and the response has been great. The key crew positions are starting to be filled in with Joe Rivera on as DP and Renato Hoyle in place as the 1st AD. I'll need to post a complete list later. Onward ...

Locations

The film is starting to come together. After an initial concept came to me while listing to a lecture, I worked with writer Omied Far to flesh it out. The idea is to make a comment on how the media can be irresponsible at times with their take on the truth. And how the audience should look deeper into what is said to find the truth.

Thanks for joining us on this journey.
