First Meeting of PBC

Met with Paul Sekon for the first time, our first meeting between director and producer. I actually learned a lot from him in this 1hr 40 min or so.

I was at the library at 1:05pm right after eating lunch with small group. It's good having a small group finally. Anyway I went inside the library and it was 1:10pm and I still couldn't see anybody and I tried calling him but he never picked up. I was getting a bit worried. I went outside several times to look around and started waiting just inside the gate in the library and he finally came in.

Paul is excited about it and that's really good. We went down the things we have to do: casting, securing location and getting more specific with characters. We have a lot of work to do.

I need to think about the title again and be exact on what I want.

Need to write a background paragraph for character.

For audition, get actors to memorized the line. Contact that Asian agency. Finalize on what I want. Think about beat of script and securing equipment.

I have decided that I am going to shoot Punch, Baby, Cry for my master project and if I am able, shoot Un-Wake and my lovelorn project afterward.

I want to shoot it with Sony PMW-EX3, so I need a camera operator with experience and know-how to shoot on the EX3.

The only person I can think of is James.
