What Happened? The Banner changed?

Hello all and welcome back to the Last Days Blog. I have been absent but busy, grin. I had the pleasure of working with Kristi Mahé on one of Sabrina's projects called "Daddy's Girl". I have added a page to my amadthoughtproductions.com website that promotes friends' projects as well as coops. Once Sabrina is ready, I will be putting up "Daddy's Girl" promotional shots and more. Kristi, having lost her hearing at a young age, brought a new element to our team's dynamic on getting our communication across, but it turned out great and we are looking forward to working with her again on "Last Days" as her character Snoop! I'm also happy to add that Dominika Zybko will be joining our cast as our heroine of episode one "Roxy". We loved working with her on "Dessert" and "Roxy" is made for her. While Kristi was here from LA and we had wrapped "Daddy's Girl" I had the chance to have my script readers' 2 favorite female characters in a rare photo shoot. "Roxy" and "Snoop" are in different episodes but I couldn't pass up the chance to put them together. There's nothing like when you see the fleshing out of something you've written. "Dessert" was my first taste, but seeing Dominika and Kristi pose in character, I couldn't help but feel a burst of pride- Roxy & Snoop were within hands reach! The costumes are first concept but already near perfect. Kristi ideally would have worn a knit hat that can fold down into a ski mask, but we're out of season and it was a long weekend, sooo this are the very first glimpse into the post zombie apocalyptic world of "Last Days"; Dominika Zybko as "Roxy" & Kristi Mahé as "Snoop". More pics to follow tomorrow! Gimme a comment or two for my vlog 2 with a surprise!

What's Next?

There are a few things on the agenda. Now that Logan's been cast, we should be able to film soon. The next couple of weeks are going to be booked with 2 other projects. The usual suspects and I will be participating in a 24 hr film fest around the nineteenth of May and we will also be working on Sabrina's cinemagraphic project this upcoming weekend. Kristi Mahé will be starring in Sabrina's short and while we have her here from L.A., we will be doing photo shoots with her posing as Snoop; a unique character in episode 3 of the series. I met Kristi on the set of my first feature role on Dominant Gene, where I played side-kick to a vengeful woman who leads a group of telekinetics grown from test-tubes over twenty years ago.  I was doing my green room scenes and Krisit was one of our extras that day. She was amicable from the start and we hit it off. We worked together again when I wrote the script to a movie she wanted to make and I saw her potential just from her drive. As she calls it, Kristi is "differently-abled" which adds a unique twist to her character. I'm certain she will have her fans, she already does from my script readers. She has a healthy happy view on life and does all sorts of projects that are aimed at helping others. I'm proud to have her on board. I've another I plan on mentioning but will keep that for the vlog along with another little mention I hope will stir the interest even more. Signing out, JLF

"Michael Logan" has a face

Auditions & call backs for one of my main characters, "Michael Logan" took place this Sunday past. I was happy to see the familiar faces of a couple as well as the new. It was a tough decision, in the end. I've been plagued with indecision between two actors that were complete opposites but yet fit. In the end, Kirk Wilson was closest to my original ideal of Logan and will be the one to be in both the monologue that will be the front of the website as well as a briefed version for the trailer to come by Sabrina Chevallier. As promised, a vlog 2 is to come soon.
