GLASSHOUSES

Quietly affecting. An antidote to a cynical, post-truth world. #glasshouses69 @sporadictwit

Films come together in unexpected ways.

Glass Houses Good Fortune #4

2.5 weeks to go: Struggling to get a location for Cathy’s 1969 Brooklyn apt.

A week after meeting Larke at the Celluloid SC...

Larke: Saw your old FB posts. My apt was built in 1910, always thought it was NY.

And I decorated MID-CENTURY MODERN.

I just wrote a scene from the perspective of a bird and I think I pulled it off. #writing #screenwriting

Glass Houses score is finally in the hands of our sound editor! Definitely an experience being at the mercy of others schedules! #shortfilm #indiefilm #postproduction

[David Margolis @sporadictwit]

Glass Houses score approved! WAV file received. Onto the final mix and edits to credits and title card.

Glass Houses is 6:49 before credits. That’s time, not the lotto. The objective was to take someone who is closed and to give them a moment, an opening.

Nothing huge, not a song and dance, but a special moment, one we can all relate to, a brief subtle shift in our being.

The benefits of attending the Austin Film Festival are the writers & filmmakers you meet.

I met Michelle last year, we kinda lost touch, but dropped her a line recently, she’s returning for #AFF25

I love, love her short doc Amnon: Paddleball King #Vimeo https://t.co/iYOlKrNSr4

From the writer of Glass Houses, as always touching, a provocative piece about “writing with your parents in the room”.

[Jenni Prange Boran @jenprange]

I just posted Writing with your Parents in the Room, read it here: https://t.co/36gk9r5NEn

Forget caffeine, this will turbo charge your #screenwriting & #filmmaking desires.

First-Time Filmmaker’s Tip 16b
Blocking: Give your DP a quick overview, then work with the actors. This allows your DP to set up.

Camera on sticks and basic lighting? That’s 20 mins/shot.

@FINALLEVEL @MrKenShabby Is this the point where you say Jesus wasn’t a white dude either, but that didn’t stop you...

Glass Houses Good Fortune #5
Friday 11:30pm. 9.5 hours before Day One. Still missing a location. Went to the neighbours. Your basement… can I?
Anything for the arts, they said.

Glass Houses Good Fortune #2

Couldn’t get a casting agent (to even return calls). No auditioning experience. Set experience as bg x 4 days. Four days before casting, volunteering at the Celluloid Social Club:

Kari: Have you cast the role of Jerry? My husband is African American (50s), started acting recently and is getting parts.

Good fortune far outweighed any hiccups in pre-prod and post-prod.

Glass House Good Fortune #1
A gazillion actors wanted to audition for Delivery Guy. No one auditioned for Jerry, African American (50s). I offer the part of Cathy’s Mother to Kari Staten:
