After I pooh-poohed a compliment for having run a marathon, a wise woman told me, “That’s the problem after you’ve done it, you can’t recognize your own accomplishment.”
But that’s not the case with Mismo. Looking back over the past two and a half years that this film has been in the making, I don’t rightly know how we did it. Or more correctly, I do and to put it in perspective it wasn’t a marathon; it was more like the Amazing Race – an exercise in stamina, diligence, resourcefulness, and, especially, creativity.
My goal for this blog is to write about the journey and, hopefully, impart some wisdom for other would-be producers. Gino will give his perspective from the director’s chair. We will also report on our adventures in film festival land and on the brave new world of distribution – fingers crossed!
Over the past two and a half years, dozens of people have contributed throughout the different phases of the film – from the commitment of our talented cast and skilled crew working nights and weekends over six months of production; to the endless hours of butt-numbing editing, week after week after week; moving on through color correction to the exploration of music and negotiation of rights; to the excitement of being in the studio with a veteran composer; and the minutiae of the final sound mix… Thank you everyone!
Next Monday, we will come together and celebrate our accomplishment.
