Visible Noise

As the writer-director of this short film, I'd like to express my deep appreciation and love for all those who helped us make this project. While it's still in post, the joy that's come along with being able to produce something that my heart is truly invested in is priceless.

I'd like to give a special thanks to our Executive Producer, Sam, who was able to view our vision, excitement and preparedness as a PLUS, and who was able to take a leap of faith with us. While it's not finished, yet, I'm certain, with every fiber, that the end result will be something we can all be proud of.

Visible Noise deals with grief

I'm so overjoyed and proud of our Visible Noise footage and talent. Although we're still in the beginning stages of editing with our editor, Hutch, our rock star DP, Greg Risley has gifted us more beautiful screen grabs to awe at in the meantime. Here's one of Olivia Applegate (AKA Story) confronting the thing that killed the love of her life for the first time.

This story is about grief and how she handles it within a 24 hour period. Our main character mourns the love of her life by taking on his bad habits.

While each of our experiences vary in story, there's a common bond we share, too. We all feel pain the same. This project is my attempt to isolate one women's process, with hopes that the final message will resonate with others.

At the end of the day, any close loss hurts like hell. Behind the complexities of our painful emotions there's a basic need to understand the why and how of things, so we explore that side of life in this short film.

Visible Noise Dream Team

This year, even though I'm further away from family, there's so much to be thankful for. In addition to being blessed with a healthy family and good friends, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

This project, in particular, has formulated a dream team that's been heavenly to work with. These actors are a Godsend. Olivia Applegate and Chase Joliet are two of the most professional and driven actors I've ever worked with. I can't wait to watch them soar even more in the world of entertainment. Anyone would be lucky to work with them, and it just so happens the lucky one is ME this time! ** BIG SMILE **

Our cast and crew has kicked butt in pre-production so we're excited to start shooting Visible Noise next week. Our DP, Greg Risley, even flew to CO to do prep work with me a couple of weeks ago. What we lack in $, we make up for in heart. And I think that can make for an even better picture.

Thank you, team, for making this a wonderful experience for me and everyone you're working with. I can't wait to see you in Austin next week!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends!
