On New Years Day we finished principle photography on my short film. We still have a little B-Roll to shoot (including footage in NYC!). We have some voice-over work to finish and then we'll lay a string out throughout January. Then we'll give everything over to our soundtrack guy Matt Mateus to create the audio art. We'll have some post work/fx after that to pull together and we'll probably be able to screen the film in late May (after the Passion of Sister Dottie S. Dixon completes her run at the Rose Wagner!). I've had some incredible help from folks — my fantastic cinematographer/editor Ryan Gass; stunning still-shots from Dave Newkirk; my beautiful actors, Justin Barker and David Daniels; brilliant custom art from Sandee Parsons, and a whole team of production help: Brandie Balken, David Luna, Humberto Estrada, Scotty Foust, Carolina Arias and so many more! I also need offer A BIG thank you to Aninna Mitchell. Without her, none of this would have been possible. There is a lot of work left to do and we are excited to start pulling it all together.
Here are some stills shot by Dave Newkirk — whose art will be featured throughout the piece.

The film promises to be an experience. It's very surreal, non-linear and unconventional. But what would you expect from an trans-racial eco-queer Zen love story?
Love. it. Can’t wait!
