Back from Brooklyn, folks.

Marc and I just got back from Brooklyn, and both of us are superbly excited.

It wasn't Brooklyn that was our source of excitement, I'm sorry to say. It is a nice place, and reminds me a lot of home, but our little excursion into Brooklyn was a lot more than a nighttime boredom adventure.

We met up with Richard Vagnino, who going to be scoring Parachute Kids. Which is great, great news. So, a brief update on why that is: we're pretty much finished with editing, sound, and most of the other things that comes along with post production (of which I can't seem to name, because there really isn't much I do know about post production). But the film's Achilles heel has been that we haven't been able to find anyone to score it. We have temp music, but we would have run into licensing issues and the music was all very rough.

Music is always such an integral part of a film as well. In my own personal opinion, music is what helps bring out the heart and soul of a film. And film without heart is a film that is literally heartless. I wouldn't say that it's necessarily a bad thing, as there are many heartless films that may or may not have been enjoyable. But it is sad. Like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz sad.

That's pretty much what we were worrying about Parachute Kids, but it looks like we're now back on the right track. And this also makes the film entirely ours. Up until now, everything but the music was.

We don't have a clear deadline as to when we'll be done with the music and such. Richard is going to be collaborating with Katie Costello on some songs for the film and the score. Katie Costello, if you remember, wrote and sang the song "City Lights", which plays with great effectiveness in the second half of our trailer for Parachute Kids. Hopefully we'll have finished everything in time for submission into festivals.

I cannot help but express my excitement for what's to come.
