Still Working ...
... Oh, man, I'm so close to the end of this CHOP train, it's killing me! Color correction was finished last week and now it's just a matter of putting some finishing touches on sound and mix, typing up the credits crawl, and out-putting it so that I can burn discs.
Of course, the hard part begins now - promoting and selling the movie. To that end, I built the CHOP Facebook page and opened a CHOP twitter account to keep everybody updated. Join up and keep yourself posted!
CHOP Facebook Page
We're CHOPLLC on Twitter!
Everybody is at the San Diego Comic Con this weekend. I used to dig heading down there until about 4 years ago when getting parking and tickets became absurd. Now I'm content to stay here and work on my movie.
Max went on vacation with my parents for 2 weeks and Lynh is on maternity leave, so I'm trying to take advantage of the break.
Just found this artwork from the Comic Con, so it looks like I've got something else coming out sometime in the near future ...
Back soon with more updates!
BONUS UPDATE:
As soon as I updated the site, I got an email from Gadi Harel (co-director of DEADGIRL) giving me a head's up on a bit of cool news. Seems he and Marcel have partnered up with a company called CRYPTIC COTTON and they're releasing an Official DEADGIRL t-shirt! Check out the shot and order yours at the CRYPTIC COTTON WEBSITE:
Pretty cool. Gonna have to order one for myself!

Bronson!!
It's been a damn long time since I updated this blog. Wonder if anyone's still coming to read it? Wouldn't blame em if they didn't. I know that I should hop on here all the time to promote projects and throw down some info and, hell, toot my horn a little bit. I think that my reticence to do so stems from a kind of "Facebook Celebrity" burnout. You know how people hop onto Facebook to tell you that they just passed page 50 on a script that they're writing or talking about a movie that they just signed up for that isn't even CLOSE to getting made, or (my personal favorite) talking about all of the "meetings meetings meetings" they're taking in "Hollywood." Leaves a bad taste in my mouth and my theory is that if you've got time to talk about all of this stuff online, maybe you're not as busy as you say you are ...
Well, I'm busy. And that's why I don't blog that much.
But now it's time for an update.
The big news is that Lynh went into labor 5 weeks early and Bronson Vinh Haaga was born a week ago. I've been scrambling to take care of home and baby business all week while also putting the finishing touches on CHOP (I'm at the sound designer's working on final mix as I blog!). Bronson was 5.5 pounds and 18 inches long. He's finally home with Mom, eating and sleeping a lot. Here he is:
I was actually in Cleveland acting in a film called THE SQUAD with Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Ed Neal when Lynh went into the hospital. A few stressful days of shooting while I prayed that she'd keep the baby in her, then an emergency trip back for the birth (managed to get all of my scenes in the can before I left, though!).
Turned in another draft of a script that I did a while back. Hopefully it'll go out and get some actors attached now. A director has already signed on.
Also just landed a deal to write another script for a cable TV channel that I'm sure you're familiar with, but I can't really announce anything about it just yet. Rest assured, I'll tell all when I can.
CHOP is getting there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Color correction begins next week and it's the second-to-last step in completing the film.
Been hearing more news about FETCH. It's well on it's way to completion and I'm hearing good things about it. Got an email from the composer of THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE telling me how excited he was to do the score for FETCH ... news to me, but pretty damned cool. The World Premiere is on September 6th in Kansas City, where the film was shot. Who knows? Maybe I'll fly out there to take a look ...
Like I said, though, I've been trying to stay busy. Wrote another script in the midst of all this baby and movie madness:
... Wonder if anyone wants to see it get made, though? Trying to push this through is my next job after finishing CHOP and writing my mystery script ...
Okay, that's about it for now. I'll try to update more regularly, as I've got all of these projects in the pipeline and hopefully will be talking about them more in the near future ...
