In this blog you will find content about the making of our independent feature film Mismo...
our journey — and the film's — as we navigate the world of distribution...
our musings as storytellers and filmmakers...
and our new project Pitchin' Papaya, the name of which is still up for debate.

Gino prefers simply Papaya while I like Pitchin' because it rhymes with bitchin'...
and bitch to me means "being in total control, honey"...
While the four hard-core saleswomen in our story may not be in total control, they're certainly no pushovers.

As hard as we try, we have yet to come up with an elevator pitch for Mismo...
Not so with Papaya which is an all-female Glengarry Glenn Ross.

The Team of Many Hats...

Our Scary Cow pitch attracted the cameraman that we desired, the "legendary" Danny Baldonado.  I figured that if a guy can shoot skateboarders while he's also on a skateboard, well, he's our man!  Thankfully, he liked our idea.

When it came to lighting and sound, there was no-one withing the SC community, so I called on my friend Jeffery Davis with whom I'd attended film school.  He also liked our idea, but not the monthly SC fees.  It wasn't hard to do the math and conclude that we were better off putting $$ directly into our own  kitty rather than compete quarterly for bucks that might never come our way. 

Et voila... that was our team... and for those of you who wonder what a "real" film team looks like, I'm providing this image courtesy of The Guerilla Film Makers Movie Blueprint by Chris Jones, Jonathan Newman and Cara Williams.
