The production finish line is in sight...

While 2 scenes still stand in the way of me saying "that's a WRAP!" and finally meaning it, we residents of layover-ville have managed to keep ourselves busy.  Alex and I filmed our Kickstarter thank you videos in McCarren park the other weekend, so keep a google alert or an eyeball on your virtual mail boxes for those.  We've also simultaneously started the post-production process.  I'm only days away from pulling out the secret weapon, Matt "clip cutter" Kazman, to take the reigns of the keyboard and mouse and really edit this whole thing together.

In other ostensibly related/shameless self promoting news, I played my first show with a full band last night at Sidewalk Cafe in the East Village.  You can check out a video here to see how after almost 24 years, I still haven't learned how to open my eyes.  Speaking of opening, we opened for the wonderfully talented Johanna Samuels, who is in the middle of doing a residency there.  Check out a new song from her set here.

Spectacle Theater

Spectacle is a really cool independent theater in Brooklyn. The programmers are some good friends who do a whole lot to bring audiences cool, rare movies, and support independent filmmakers (fun fact: Laying Over held auditions inside the theater!).

So if you haven't been you should go check out the theater. Tonight they have a great lineup, which I wrote about for filmmaker Matt Wolf's blog. There's a lot of crazy cross-promotion going on here, so to sum it up in linkage: check out Spectacle, check out Matt Wolf's upcoming doc Teenage, and if you have time go see Seventeen tonight at Spectacle. I'll see you there!

Talented friends

Check out members of the LO family, Heaven's Gate, playing "Salome" on Newtown Radio here. You'll see them perform live in Laying Over. And in the meantime, they're putting out their 7" High Riser this April/May on Fire Talk Records.

Back in a New York groove...

After almost two months away from production, we finally jumped back into the swing of things this weekend with some new faces. While Saturday was a coooold and snooooowy night in Williamsburg, yesterday was warm and intimate as we shot at Awol Erizku's photo studio in Noho. Awol's a great guy and a talented photographer who's work you can check out here along with some candid pics of your very own happy little production family.
