Nightscape in Montreal

Nightscape is making it's world premier tonight at the Montreal Comicon/Horrorfest. And finally there is a new trailer for the film! Check it out! I absolutely love the soundtrack- it's been stuck in my head for days.

Traveling
I flew in to Montreal yesterday and met up with the director (David Edwards) and lead actor (Joshua St. James) here in Quebec. I know ZERO French, which makes me feel like a jerk trying to navigate this city. Last night we met up with a couple other filmmakers, including Todd Freeman (Cell Count) for drinks. Jet lagged (in favor of staying up late), we were out until early in the morning. I rounded out the night with a couple hours of Skype video calling, and finally got to sleep around 5am local time.

Todd Freeman 9/13/12.

This morning we all met for brunch and were joined by Nightscape actor (Jorge Madrid) who flew in from Paris. Now that I've downed a couple cups of coffee, I need to get a little work done and then take a nap. Then around 4pm we're off to the convention to pick up our event passes. Looking forward to people watching and movie watching tonight. More updates from the premier to come!

Nightscape Premiers at ComiCon

I am very, very excited to announce that Nightscape will premier at the Montreal  ComiCon Horrorfest in September! Nightscape is a sci-fi horror/supernatural thriller film in which I play the leading lady, shot exactly a year ago.

I still haven't seen an updated trailer for the film, but as soon as one is released (any day now?) I'll post it here.

For those who are following this blog, be prepared for a flurry of Nightscape News as it becomes accepted to more festivals, and promotion gets underway.

EDIT 8/21/12: I will be attending the festival in Montreal to promote Nightscape this September!  See you there? Official announcement is HERE. You bet I'll be blogging from the festival, just like Tribeca 2011.

Nightscape ADR

I spent two days in January in the studio doing ADR work with Jason Edwards, sound designer on Nightscape. What is ADR I hear you ask? It stands for Automatic Dialogue Replacement. It's needed when the sound guy screws up. Just kidding! It's to get cleaner, better quality dialogue reads, to get an alternate line delivery, or to dub over OTS (Over The Shoulder) shots with different dialogue if the scene was altered drastically in editing. Basically, it makes the movie better and gives the director more options in the editing room.

It was kind like playing a video game or Operation because of the precision required for a good take. I also had to do things like breathe, sigh, sniff, scream and cry, matching it all to the film. It was fun resurrecting Kat's southern accent for a while, and was the first time I got to see the cut together scenes. It looks so good! Still needs color correction, SFX, titles, and the rest of the audio FX. Definitely does NOT look like an "indie" film. (Not that that's a bad thing.) I can't wait!

Nightscape: It's a Wrap!

Today we wrap filming on Nightscape! My feelings are bittersweet. Although it is great to have it done, working on that film for the past month was a great gig with talented people who were a pleasure to work with.

The last week of filming has been extra exciting filled with car stunts with a pro driver: I've been the passenger in a car pulling 180 degree turns, flying down windy roads backwards skidding into a field, racing other cars, near head on collision with a semi, and more. Two days ago we got to set off explosions, and last night we crashed a car over a cliff. What a blast!

The Oregonian wrote an article on the film, they were on set a few days ago to check the production. Here's the link.

OK, so I've been working on a film called Nightscape. I play the female lead named Kat. It's a supernatural thriller with car chases and monsters, as well as strong and interesting characters. Check out the Official WEBSITE for the production blog, behind the scenes video, back story info and more! Or the press releases on Oregon Confluence, Dread Central, an early press write up for the film here, and other places on the net.

Today was day 5 of shooting. Tomorrow is a day off, then back at it on Wednesday! Lots of fun, and it's going great so far.
