Nena, the Sequel!

Nena 2 is now in production. However, time is passing by fairly quickly and in a season where things are getting tougher for the producer.

When I first began to plan for Nena 2 and 3, I was ignorant of the fact of how much work was needed to be put on these newer productions. They have a bigger cast and have a very tight budget. My friend/boss, Bruce Ostrout, once again, has kindly given us his equipment to use for the filming.

Making this short film is like working a full time job. The only difference is that I am not getting paid. With rehearsals, location scouting, adjusting the schedules, and storyboarding, I can easily spend 40 hrs a weeks on the project.

A few things happened that made it seemed like production was never going to happen. For once, some know that my grandmother passed away on the week that we were supposed to start the shoot. Then, two days prior to filming the first scene of Nena, my aunt got involved in a car accident. Not to mention, I got attacked by killer ants while scouting for the place we went to film this past Saturday. All these incidents led me to believe that somehow Satan, doesn't want us to film this show. Hum...I wonder why??? (rolling eyes)

If anyone is reading this who is a trusting believer of Jesus Christ, please pray for us, the cast, the crew, and anyone who has been volunteering to help out with the production. We certainly covet your prayers and need them. Pray that we will continue to TRUST Jesus and what he is doing through this production. :)

Filmmakers, animators??

In an interview with Steven Spielberg, he mentioned that filmmakers should be animators. This is why...watch the video

Vinegar Hill, a Film Production With a Mission

This is a production company I would love Kairo Films to emulate and hopefully work with in the near future. Read their story and how they got started.

Then, take a minute to watch their video work. It is AMAZING. This was the company that produced the short film for NEXT, a Christian conference for young adults.
