Small Steps and Giant Leaps for Kerberos

Too many small steps and pieces of the puzzle to mention, I need to be working! But two major parts have come together, and the patterns are developing for more.

First, I have settled on my kick ass 1st AD - Attila Alexander. Realistically, its Attila who has settled on working on Kerberos. Having spent several hours over a couple of days in discussion on Kerberos and films and filmmaking in general, I feel a huge weight has been lifted (trials of Hercules - okay -- but being Atlas is too much!), and the momentum is building. Attila is very personable, very bright, and very committed to helping me to make Kerberos realize its potential. He is also very experienced and creative in his own right and will be able to contribute on many levels over and beyond the running of the production.

The second recent addition to our movie is the commitment from the world renowned voice of Adriana Mezzadri to once again add her amazing talent to my score. She did the same for Blood Ties and the inclusion of such a recognized talent is exciting.

Kerberos is an raw, gritty thriller racing through the darkest corners of our dark streets and dark thoughts, and yet I strive as a director and a storyteller to find the emotional catalyst driving each scene. Adriana's powerful, lyrical voice will help the audience feel the underlying motivations even as the bullets are flying and the bones are breaking.

Scouting of locations, meetings with Police Departments to recruit their support, and official casting begins this week at People Store in Altanta. It will be just as exciting to me to have my Executive Producer Brad Fallon, Line Producer Amanda McCarthy, 1st AD Attila Alexander, and Casting Director Robert Pralgo all working together in one room with me to start populating our film with the characters I put on paper so many months before.

As Attila said as we shook hands on the deal last night - both knowing the full implication of the endeavor and exactly what was meant - "Let's make a movie!".
