Social Beasts

image

I was an hour away from heading to a meeting with Zino (prepping for an Seattle angel investor presentation later in the month) and I got a call back from one of the producers of ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’. I wanted to know how their social media campaign helped the film and he replied that it definitely helped. They ran it like a political campaign - getting people to be ambassadors for the film a month or two before the landed at Sundance.

AMBASSADOR CONCEPT: Engagement through challenge - take part - KickStart a film with people in your network and help something good reach audiences world wide.

Their hunch paid off. BEASTS is a great movie from a great script - with magic in the form of an actress (so young!) - the social element helped to carry their vision to new heights.

KUDOS. 

May CENTERVILLE be so blessed!

Olivine got a chance to shoot a video for UrbanSpoon in Portland last week. We were invited to video Tommy Habetz and Matt Brown, co-owners of Bunk Bar, a marvelous sandwich shop and music venue in Portland, Oregon. Got a chance to use some tracking shots as well as play with our new shotgun mic. The music for this piece was taken from the track ‘Devil’s Town’ by The Builders and the Butchers, who are on Bladen County Records, a label owned by Matt Brown

On the set of FilmSeattle.org’s first short (entitled ‘Magic Hour’) I got a chance to play gaffer and rig this blackout sans the usual equipment of poles and bars. Thanks go to the gods of weather for not blowing the whole thing down. We also blacked a similarly sized area on the back side of this building using only tape and a roll of black plastic described as ‘picnic table covering’ (obviously, Halloween based picnicking)! 
Further thanks go to Chris and Jay of FIlmSeattle for the chance to work on set and to Jennifer from OlyTown for her help with this ugly facade.

A film about hope in the face of a tragedy that we’ve been both witnessed and caused here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s the story of the last wild salmon run. I really recommend hitting their page and spreading the word about this powerful film.

Washington Filmworks Innovation Lab

We’re proud to say that last December, after many rounds of submissions, Olivine Productions was selected as a finalist in the Washington Filmworks Innovation Lab for it’s feature film project ‘Centerville’. We received the lion’s share of funding support and we’re looking forward to pre-production on this ‘sci-fi romp with a heart’!

The film is to be directed by Keith Bearden and our director of photography will hopefully be Mark Simon.

Here’s a photo of 2nd and Battery street in Seattle, where I got a chance to play an extra on ‘Lucky Them’, Paul Newman’s final project that got shelved upon his death a few years ago. Megan Griffiths is directing (Eden, The Off Hours). There were about 20 or so actors who got a chance to play several background characters in the ‘Rob Roy’ lounge. We had a very nice time, and the crew was spectacular, helmed effectively by Scott Larkin as the Assistant Director. Tony Collette, Thomas Hayden Church and Oliver Platt star in this film about a rock journalist retracing her past in search of an old flame.

This video was created for Baobab Foods, and will be featured on their Amazon store to help customers understand the nature and uses of the baobab fruit.

A blend of footage shot in Malawi and motion graphics, the title is ‘Baobab 101 - What is Baobab?’ 

It’s quite an amazing superfruit!
