RENEE ST CYR is THE CATERPILLAR in VAMLET

This picture we’re currently calling VAMLET is wrapped as far as principal photography goes. It’s so funny to use terms like “principal photography” to describe what just happened, but technically, that is what it was. When you run and gun and make films for no money, it’s kind of funny to discuss those films in traditional industry terms. But, hey, it’s a movie and production is over!

NOW PLAYING (classic)

On an unrelated note, it’s interesting that, as far as North American English language works go, the best writing and most accomplished storytelling continues to appear on television rather than on the big screen. Dramas like Mad Men, Friday Night Lights, Breaking Bad, and Boardwalk Empire deliver so much more than their watered-down, made by committee, theatrical counterparts. The same is true of comedy (perhaps even more so). Yet, filmmakers working outside of North America continue to deliver theatrical work that equals, or in many cases, transcends the best television has to offer. It would be nice to see a shift back from shit to shine in North American cinema.
