Vagabond Lane

Been awhile since I've written/posted anything about my movie, Vagabond Lane, currently under construction as we speak.

First off, a lot of people are wondering what the deal is; why is it taking so darn long for this movie to get done?

Answer: I'm slow.

There's other answers as well, but that's the truth of the matter. SOME people think I'm not even done with the rough cut, however. That just isn't true. Granted, some scenes are incomplete and have yet to be fleshed out, but let's face it: ain't too exciting editing them action sequences when it gets right down to it. HOWEVER... I'm well into the audio work now, and I can even see a time when this movie will be done.

The best advice I've gotten about the film has been from TJ Johnson, however, whom has been assisting me on the edit:

"Will, all those other people? Those haters? They can all go to hell."

Oh yeah.

Yes, Vagabond Lane will be completed. Sooner than people might think. But it will be done when I (a) say it's done; and (b) am ready to release it.

Boise activity in the last 12 months.

One of the things I really dig about living in Boise is the active amateur film community. Just in the last 12 months there have been nearly 100 short films shot (mostly for i48, but still... that's a lot of content), as well as the feature films The Broken Quiet, Vagabond Lane, Guns of Jericho, Norman Waiting, Ibid, and The Sanguinarian. As I write this, Drew Wattles is in production of a short sci-fi film with Dan Epp, The Muse Building residents Iron Circle Pictures/Appaloosa Pictures are working with Boise uber-director Michael Hoffman on a documentary of the 2006 Fiesta Bowl winning Boise State University football team, Autumn Angel director Mike Gough is in Wyoming shooting a marching band documentary, and I'm STILL editing my damn movie.

Here's a pic from i48 2007. Left to right it's TJ Johnson, Jim Van Dam, Pete Iverson and me. This was taken around 4.25 pm at Pete's house. It was such a tough shoot...

As for the i48 2007 judging, I think Jim's wife Chris sums it up best...
