Cubicles to be shot January
Although the film I am working on currently is slated to be the biggest Water Cooler Production so far, a first is happening for Water Cooler Production. And it starts like this:
Writer Robert Sandoval handed me a script some time ago in June called Cubicles. Its a fun little movie, and although it was well written, I had no intention of directing it because of working heavily on Chemical 12-D at the time but also because I knew I wasn’t the director for the project. I got it but it wasn’t calling for my style of direction. So, I gave him notes on it and told him it would eventually get made (I was not lying, I knew someone would do it).
Flash forward to roughly one month ago. I was playing on XBox live and I received a message from David Trojan, my assistant director, telling me that we need to make another movie. Then I realized it right then and there that David Trojan would be the perfect director for Cubicles. Its his style, he read the script when I did and thought it was great. I then messaged Trojan and told him, ‘yes, we will make another movie. We’ll make Cubicles. You direct it and I’ll produce it.’ He met me with enthusiasm and has been all for it ever since.
Currently, we are finding the location for the short, 5 minute piece and then we are off and going in January. It’ll be a short shoot and hopefully will be completed by February. Its a great piece and a first that I decided not to direct something that comes out of Water Cooler Productions (outside of a doc Billy Bitterman did). I’m excited to prepare a shoot as a producer and I’m going to do my best to make sure the shoot goes smoothly, post production runs quickly, and the film is finished on time. It’ll be a short that will be seen online and I think it’ll be a blast.
Keep your eyes out for Cubicles in February, Messiah in January, and the teaser poster for the next big Water Cooler Production Monday. Business isa boomin’. Stay tuned.
