Will try to get it on youtube soon. I think sharing / embedding that is way easier.

SAUFF update and Haze on Fox news

Today, we had a planned press conference at SAUFF, but only Fox 29 turned up. Myself and another director (Matt from Austin) were interviewed. The story came on the 9:00 PM news and Haze managed to grab a good 20 seconds of footage on air. Will post the video here when I get it.

Haze at SAUFF

Haze has been chosen for screening at SAUFF (san antonio underground film festival). It is a decently respected festival in Texas and has been around for about 13 years. I am told there were about 150 submissions this year. Haze was among the better 62 that will be screened. No, we did not win any of the awards, but it seems like we could get a fair bit of visibility for future projects.

Schedule below.

The IFMASA screening - Dec 2006

4 months of planning, 6 months of shooting, 2 re-shoots, endless nights working on the audio, two leading men and a million cuts later, Haze was finally ready to be screened last december. The first official screening at 'The Alameda' theatre in downtown San Antonio. The festival was Mary Harder's baby all the way. Red carpet and all that!! Initially, I thought it was too fancy for an independent film festival....but it was Mary! ;) All in all...a very proud cast and crew... (and my dad, who is behind the scenes of these pics by the way).

Scott and Alexandria won best best actor awards....for non-haze films though...I thought they both had a great 2006.

Its ironic that the Mariscela - director of photography, would not turn her face towards the camera....or is it a strategy? ;)

The Art department Angels- Kiran and Neha were dazzling as usual and on time - as usual....(The other dude who looks like the real star of the evening is Miki - who was forced into many a guest appearance in haze!).

You dont see Scott or Alex in here coz they are busy with the paparazzi and the red carpet. The lovely lady to Neha's(who is busy hiding her anti-paparazzi hand gun) left is Angela Barco - the girl who played the attendant at the resort. We had to cut that scene down to a few seconds, but she was amazing. It would be awesome if she would agree to be a part of the next one! And Irene needs no introduction in San Antonio! ;)
