Yes, it's true that there's something almost mystical about sneaking off into the deep snowy silence of the north woods. Yet overall, the season is grey, cold and long. Hardly ideal conditions--particularly for filmmakers not looking to do another ski movie. So when the weather is sunny, warm and pleasant, as it has been here for the past week, it's imperative to shoot while the shooting's good. This is just what we did.
For the last three days, filmmaker Michael Haven of Exchange Productions joined us here at Tarazod Films in yet another collaborative movie effort. As some folks know, Robert has a throng of ideas and outlines for future films, but they're all a bit too involved for the available shoot time we'd have for this one. What we needed was a script that could be captured in just one day.
So both Mike and Robert conspired together and came up with a short story, a tale of loss and renewal and a pair of wheels. The script, storyboard, and shot list were all completed by Sunday evening, and shooting on The Requiem Rider would begin early Monday morning.
The movie stars Michael as a motorcycle-riding dude without a reason to live. There's also an appearance by Tashai at the climax of the film.
While we'd hope to be completed in one day of filming, things took longer than expected. Another shoot day was added for today, and by this afternoon, the movie was in the can!
