Zambian Forge in DV Magazine

Go buy the April issue of DV Magazine (Digital Video). Zambian Forge is featured inside with an article I wrote on tapeless telecine, and shares the cover as well. There may eventually be an electronic version on DV.com, but not yet. For those of you who know her, there is a large and wonderful shot of Rachel. Though you might not understand the technical jargon, I think you will appreciate the magazine.

Festival Screeners Ready

It's been a busy week, but as it draws to a close, I am happy to announce: Zambian Forge festival screeners are ready!

It's been a long road to get here, but, finally, I'm ready to start pushing this film out into the world.

I flew up to San Francisco, went through my mixing session, and returned to LA with sound files in hand.
I spent the following days plugging away at adding in the audio files, graphics, and fixing a few small items. Then I moved the project over to an uncompressed timeline and output DVD files. I also created a new DVD interface to use for the screeners.
I mailed my first festival submission out on Thursday, just in time to meet a deadline. A couple other copies have gone out in the last few days as well. My new push is for festival entries and to find a distribution mechanism. I'll be working on this over the rest of the spring. More news on that front to follow..

San Francisco bound

Tomorrow morning I head up to San Francisco.
I am going to be finalizing and picking up an opening title sequence developed by VideoArts, as well as overseeing a sound mix at Berkeley Sound Artists. On Tuesday I will be heading back to Santa Monica, combining all of these elements, and outputting my master DVD for festival submissions and for distributors to look at.

Reaching picture lock on this cut is huge for Zambian Forge. Another major milestone is about to be reached. I can't wait.
