We more or less finished up filming Overland on Monday, with a dawn shoot on the shores of Point Pleasant Park. After a big wrap lunch at MB house Alex, Karissa, Lien, and I grabbed the ferry across the harbor to take a few photos. It was an insane and wonderful week, and I have to thank Karissa (on right) and Alex (on left) profusely for their wonderful work. I can't wait for you all to see these two battle it out for control of Freed's body and soul, but enough spoilers. I'm back in Montreal, repeating the journey to get supplementary footage and sound samples. I board the Hep yet again tomorrow, bound for Halifax. Next is the immense job of working through the footage, editing and scoring, and I am looking forward to the long dark hours this process entails. It looks like I'll be doing post in Halifax, as my plan to work at it Montreal for March fell through. Ah well, there's no place like home. We're planning on premiering the first "leg" at the Dance On Screen event in Halifax on April 7th, and then I'll be heading coast to coast with screenings (hopefully) in Montreal, St. Catharine's, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Vancouver, and Victoria.

Freed the Puppet - Overland


Well after 10 weeks of prep and production, we're all set to start filming! Alex, Karissa and myself will all converge in Montreal early next week to start the process, finishing up in Halifax on the 22nd. The above photo is Point Pleasant Park at dusk, one of the final scenes of the film.
