UNCW Film Studies Intern!
He11o A11,
I hope everyone is doing well! I'm in the midst of preproduction for "11:11" as we speak! The University of North Carolina at Wilmington has an independent study program for film students and I am very lucky to have a Film Studies major/Music minor as an intern! She's is extremely helpful and efficient and will be a true asset to this production. She is completing tasks that I don't mind doing myself, but consume a lot of time. She is currently working on getting out some overdue thank you cards to contributors from Kickstarter and IndieGoGo! Thank you Nikki and welcome to the "11:11" team!
While she is working hard, I have been organizing the office and getting ready to start the casting search. I sent the latest version of Draft 9 to a handful of select people for feedback and am taking a writing break until I get the responses. I've requested feedback to be given no later than June 1st, so any tweaks that need to be made will be completed by mid-June. Casting will follow (please no inquiries about this; we will definitely let everyone know when we are ready!) and then we will proceed to shoot Flashbacks and Dream Sequences in mid July. Since the flashbacks are supposed to happen in the past, it makes more sense to shoot them first to get our feet wet and get the actors into their characters. Several of these scenes will require visual effects, so this can be happening in the months leading up to principle photography. Having some footage in the can will also provide a sample reel for potential investors and gives us a visual to submit to a works in progress program at a film festival in Wilmington in which one of the dates falls on none other than 11/11/11!!!
The plan is to shoot the bulk of the film in September when it is not so hot and the vegetation will be much closer to what we are looking for. We hope to shoot interior scenes first and daytime exterior scenes towards the end of the shoot...pushing close to October, which is as close as we can get without surpassing November! We are very excited to get the ball rolling and will continue to keep everyone updated on the progress. Thank you so much for your support and the next time you see 11:11 on the clock, MAKE A WISH!!!! xo, meg
