I just finished working as Gaffer for "The Unvarnished Boy" (formerly titled "The Biltmore", a 15 min short with semi-decent budget, directed by Matt McInnis and Matt Drake. I was called by my buddy, DOP Toby Gorman, to help him out on this gig. We shot the film in four days/nights in various interiors/exteriors in Vancouver, including back alleys in downtown eastside, inside the seedy Ivanhoe Hotel and inside the cool Biltmore Cabaret. Some very nice lighting gear and setups will make this show a nice looking one, and the story of a potty mouthed street-kid growing up and becoming a responsible youth thanks to the help of a random waitress may just be what some film festivals are looking for.
That said, it was also a tough as hell shoot, with extremely long hours and brutal physical labor. We're all masochists in this indie film biz. Fortunately, we are also friendly, collaborative and enthusiastic, which makes it all worth it in the end. :) All for the love of art! lol
