On The Levels

I really love that feeling when you're driving home at night, feeling lighter than air, the world is a beautiful place and everything is right with the world. Don't you?

Tony, John and I (Overlook's Big 3) went to visit Yoho Media last night to discuss the possibility of using the RED camera for The Levels. The Levels is our most recent venture. Story and script by John Faria, it is a contemporary western set in the rural west country. It is a dark and brooding tale of murder, love and family rivalry. First draft is out of the way, business plan is being drafted and plans for test shoots in the summer are well under way.

We came away from our camera meeting buzzing. Talking about all the practicalities of shooting and the finer details of the RED camera made us realise that this is REALLY happening and people believe in what we are trying to do! The meeting aside, the recent launch of our twitter page www.twitter.com/thelevelsmovie and facebook fan page also seems to have sparked interest in what we're doing. It's like a slowly building line of cheering spectators along a marathon route. Yet, on the way people are offering to help push us or pull us along to ensure we reach the finish line.
