under the cover of a flower

Posted in poetry and writing on March 9th, 2008 by Rob

a flower held in the hand of sadness grows more powerful with every tear.

under the cover of a flower a blossoming soul seeks its rest.

give into the colorful clouds and walk around its silver lining.

and when its time to wake, open up and show your rainbow petals.

Loan Application 2.0

Posted in Alternative Mindz Filmz, Loan Application on March 9th, 2008 by Rob

Sometimes you work on a project that you feel so strongly about that when people tell you that they didn’t like it you almost fall apart. This is the case with Loan Application, instead of just trashing the project I asked people the reason why they didn’t like it. Everyone with an astounding and resounding voice said it was the lead actor. Not the script, not the filming, and not the editing. They fell out of the story because of our lead actor, and to his credit he did his best but unfortunately it wasn’t good enough.

So after a long and hard decision I have decided to re-shoot Loan Application, after we finish the final cut of Poker Face. We should be shooting Loan 2.0 in the early part of April.

so far the only person cast is

Franco Santoro as the lead

The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 in which genetically manufactured beings called replicants

visually indistinguishable from adult humans – are used for dangerous and degrading work in Earth’s “off-world colonies”. Following a small replicant uprising, replicants become illegal on Earth; and specialist police called “blade runners” are trained to hunt down and “retire” (kill) escaped replicants on Earth.

The plot focuses on a brutal and cunning group of replicants hiding in Los Angeles and a semi-retired blade runner, Rick Deckard (Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment.

Ridley Scott  credits the Painting Nighthawks and the Graphic Novel the long tomorrow

as the inspiration  for the movies look.

Comic Books have played some importance on the blade runner film

Seven versions of the film have been created, for various markets, and as a result of controversial changes made by film executives. A rushed Director’s Cut was released in 1992 after a strong response to workprint screenings. This, in conjunction with its popularity as a video rental, made it one of the first films to see a DVD release, resulting in a basic disc with mediocre video and audio quality. In late 2007 Warner Bros. released in theater and DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray the 25th anniversary long-awaited digitally remastered definitive Final Cut by Scott.
