Under the Rainbow wrap

My first feature length film, "Under the Rainbow", wrapped this week after about a year of shooting. In total the film took 13 days to shoot. It was an incredible experience. The hardest, most stressful thing I have ever done in my life, but such a satisfying feeling to finish filming.

The cast and crew were incredible, they stuck by the project for a long time and everyone was extremely dedicated and hardworking. That's one of the things I love most about filmmaking, seeing people come together and work so hard, not for a paycheck, but for the passion of making a film. Everyone pitched in in so many different ways to make everything come together, so I definitely want to thank everyone sincerely for their efforts and for believing in this project. People don't realize how much time, effort, dedication, thought, and money goes into making a full length film...it truly is an exhausting process, especially working at a no-budget independent level where you need to utilize your imagination to make the film work. But that's what makes it worth it in the end I suppose.

Now the post-production process begins. Hopefully the film will be finished by summer 2011. Look for updates, teaser trailers, and many many more pics to come. In the meantime, here are some stills from the production...
