New website!

Well, the new website is officially up and running. Check it out.

The first post.

The first post is always the least important post, because you don't do much but introduce yourself, your blog, and try to sound interesting enough to garner as many followers as you can. Which is very, very tough work. Trust me. I would know. This isn't my first blog, you see.

Of course, this blog isn't exactly "mine", per say. In purely professional terms, this would be the first post for the official blog of PARACHUTE KIDS, a feature film directed by Marc Katz. Trumpets and fanfare. Another note. I'm not Marc Katz. I'm just the lowly writer-person with no actual power. But hey, if Adriana (the other writer) and I hadn't written the script in the first place, there wouldn't be a movie, would there? It's a shame directors tend to completely ignore that fact.

But I'm just being sarcastic here. Marc's a great guy.

A bit about the film. Here's basically what the film's about:

Directed by Marc Katz and David Kirkeby, PARACHUTE KIDS revolves around a group of four Korean American teenagers living together in a house in a suburb of Los Angeles. Sent to America for the sole purpose of studying, these kids live in a place that has no supervision, no boundaries; where any semblance of actual authority is 5956 miles away.

Away from their parents and away from home, they form a family. And like any other normal family, their story is a progression of ups and downs, of moments both happy and sad. Together they struggle to forge for themselves lives of their own, one that is in their control. Together, they are, PARACHUTE KIDS.

Nice, right? Well, of course it is, cause I wrote that too.

We shot the film in a week two and half months ago over the summer. We're still in post production; prepping the movie for submission into festivals and all that. But I won't say anymore, or else we won't have anything to write about, will we.

Our teaser website and trailer are online: www.parachutekidsfilm.com, and our fully flash featured website should be up and running in the coming days. That's pretty much all I have to say for now. Go check out that trailer. And spread the word.
