I'm pleased to announce that principal
photography will begin soon for the next XYZ Video documentary - STARTING
TOMORROW.
I've been developing this idea for several
years and the time has come to make it a reality.
Without giving too much away -- the short movie will include a random sampling of "person on the street"
type interviews mixed together with a series of cinematic montage sequences
complemented by a unique and dynamic musical score and visual effects.
Each interviewee will begin speaking directly
into the camera using the phrase:
"Starting tomorrow, I..."
The idea of the movie is for each person to
examine and explore their life (so to speak) and comment on how they will
strive to improve themselves in the future... starting tomorrow.
The irony is... Time doesn't exist.
It's a concept created by humans.
The truth is we live in the "Eternal Now." If you think about it, tomorrow never gets here... It's always - RIGHT NOW.
The point of the movie is to inspire the audience to
appreciate life to the fullest and to live consciously in the present moment. Here and now.
The final shot of the movie will be of me walking up to the camera with the clapboard in my hands and saying directly into the lens: “Starting tomorrow - I’m going to live my life to the fullest and make a movie about all of this... (Snap sticks) How about you? What are you going to do?"

ROLL CREDITS.
I've always been a strong advocate for creating a
marketing tool / demo poster -- before production begins.
Rather than describing the project in great
detail to someone -- I have found that that it helps enormously to have a
visual aide to present when soliciting on-camera interviews for a
documentary.
Here is the demo
poster/flyer that I presented to prospective
Cosplayers for DISAPPEAR HERE:
