Song "When I See You" by
Oscar Arana

from Next Step Productions


This was a VERY last minute production; I received the script from Oscar Arana a few days before we were scheduled to start shooting and I met the actors about five minutes before I rolled camera. They did a great job, especially when you consider that they were taking direction from an inarticulate dunce given to speaking in incoherent sentence fragments. We shot in Marina del Rey and Santa Monica in the usual run-and-gun, no permit, 2-takes-max, guerrilla-style method; we got it all in the can in one short afternoon. Enjoy!

You did that in one afternoon! Impressive!

[cherrera7]

@21stCenturyCat Yeah, one afternoon -- but it was pretty easy, since the actors were pretty easy-going about the pace. It proved to be good training for the movie, where sometimes we had to shoot an insane amount of pages in a mercilessly brief window of time.

By the way... You were friends with Rhona Mitra? Awesome!

It's cool to see your stuff at long last. I always wanted to. Took 3 years, but whatever.

Hey stop by my page and vote for me dude. There's a grand scheme cookin'! You know there has to be for UCF to go around promoting at long last.

[cherrera7]

@undercoverfilmer00v Yeah, I'll stop by and vote for you. Best of luck!

Yeah, Mitra and I go way back. She's trying to hook me up with a directing job on Doomsday 2. ;)

"A few of my old videos; made with friends, whom I've since lost because I made videos with them."

Wow. You know... if I wasn't on such a grand personal mission myself, I would DEFINITELY make this my feature video on my page. I mean geez dude. Hah... the fact that I'm now getting my attention drawn to stuff like this is one thing, but the fact that I cannot go ANYWHERE anymore without finding a cause like this or something meaningful, it's just...

Good job dude. Good job.

@undercoverfilmer00v Thank you very much, good sir.

I like happy endings. Live is hard enough as it is to go to the movie theater to see depressing movies like City of Angels or something like that. I have a lot to learn from you my friend. Great job!

@Featherflow Thank you Ms. Flow! I would rather have all the time in the world to shoot something, but alas, those were the conditions. I don't know where she got her dress from, but if I run into her again, I'll be sure to ask!

[Featherflow]

Wow that was great! What a beautiful location and in 2 takes? You're a pretty awesome film maker aren't ya? That was really good! p.s You wouldn't happen to know where she got her dress from would you? :)
