All quiet on the Kanowna front
Like the calm before the storm, all is quiet on the Kanowna front. We have sent DVD screeners off to a number of festivals and all we can do is wait!
In the mean time the press kit is being finalised and should be finished very soon. The website is now online and has had close to 300 hits since we went public. Interestingly we've had visits from Mumbai, Kiev, Klaukkala, Ovideo and Misawa just to name a few (I have no idea where some of these places are). It's a good indication of how global film is.
I was trawling through the many photos from the shoot and found a couple gems of Clarkie. I've used one in the press kit and this is also on the website, but for those of you who haven't visited it yet, here it the photo I'm talking about. Taken by Ben, I think the crew had moved on to do the final shot and they stayed behind in the Asia town alley set to take this.

Excellent photo, don't you think?

Kanowna short film - Day 2
Day 2: Flies, sun, horses and more flies!
Today we shot out on a salt lake, just East of Meckering. I'd forgotten how difficult it is to sustain yourself out in the elements and many of the crew also didn't have much experience working in those conditions. Plus, we lacked real resources to cope with sun and wind and hence, we suffered a little.
On the positive side, we had horses today which really gives the film a feeling of scope. We shot the horses galloping in a wide-shot, which was fantastic!
We really started losing the light in the late afternoon, due to an approaching cold front and Dustin's last shot of the day was in cloud cover, but you have to take what you can get. His performance is so strong that it didn't really matter.
Peta was a trooper today! She had to do a scene running across the salt lake and she stumbled. She didn't stop, she just got back up and kept going.
All-in-all, a very successful day with only a couple challenges for the performances and coverage.

The cast for Kanowna, the short film
Just to remind everyone who is in Kanowna, the short film.
Dustin Clare is playing Trooper Brown.
Peta Sergeant is playing Osarno.
Ben Khaw is Chomatsu.
Clarke Richards is Trooper Clarke.
We've got a good group of very talented and eager actors. The characters are layered which will give the actors a good challenge to breathe them to life.

More Positive
Today was a positive step in the right direction. It looks like we've found an actor to play the lead Japanese character, Chomatsu.
I was sure enough in my mind that the production would now be going ahead, that I contacted Dustin Clare and Clarkie to 'touch base' and see where they were at. Both of them have been working on backgrounds and researching accents. It was great to chat to Dusto again, it's been a long while.
We are close to getting a Costume person attached, but Michael has met our new Production Designer and we do have a Make-up person.
For a production which has no money, we are in a good position to make this happen.
"This has been the hardest thing I've had to do so far, " Michael said to me today.
Yes, a period movie on a tiny budget is a big ask. Even though when I wrote it, I definitely had in mind doing something for a very small budget, the search for detail all adds up.
