Hey there guys. John Here. We’re about to start day five of shooting my first feature narrative I’ve titled “The Anniversary”. The first four days have been completely exhausting, but also insane fun. I’ve been overwhelmed by how many emails and messages I’ve gotten from you guy wishing me luck and showing your support. I can’t even begin to tell you how much each one means to me. THANKS!
Anyway, before I left for the day I thought I’d give you guys a look at what our set has looked like and what’s been going on. So here are some select pics from the set of “The Anniversary” (by the way, if you like them, I’ve got TONS more on my Facebook).
Ashley Oxford shooting her first scene

My Director of Photography, Carey Coffey (I couldn’t do this without him)
Jason Contini and Betsey Crammer doing a very very very difficult scene. Man acting can be rough huh?

John with his new favorite toy in the world. The Red camera.

The director’s chair with my name on it was a gift. Oh I love it.

Robert Sanchez (who this would be impossible without) and editor Chuck Norris (yes, that’s his real name) taking care of the details.

Well… that’s all I’ll throw at you for now. I hope this thing turns out as well as I think it will. My expectations and enthusiasm are growing everyday we shoot. I can’t wait to share it with you guy… win or lose. :P
