***Updated: New Video made by Laura Aguirre Added***
Our fifth and final film of Do Not Disturb, entitled Death Takes a Holiday Inn, written and directed by Brandon Nicholas, starring Diva Zappa, Jason Alan Smith, and myself, Mali Elfman, was wrapped a couple of weeks ago and we finally have a little behind the scenes look for you to watch!
All the films are currently being edited and are headed towards picture lock by the 30th of December. After we raise a bit more money they’ll all be on their way to being scored (we’ll announce who is doing that soon, we’ve got some really talented people in the works) and color corrected.
Enjoy…

We’re getting close to the end of our “making of” videos for Do Not Disturb. Below we have some behind the scenes footage of Jon Mann-Krieger‘s Intrinsic starring Jason Alan Smith, Diva Zappa, Troy Garity and myself, Mali Elfman. All the films are currently being edited, I saw a rough cut of one of them last night (won’t tell you which) and to my delight it was amazing. I can’t even begin to explain how excited I was to see that it’s coming together so well. More on that later, for now check out the making of Intrinsic below…

We just wrapped Do Not Disturb two days ago and while on a major come-down and tearing apart our set, I received a few stills from our grand finale taken by photographer Brendan Holmes. Our final two films, Intrinsic by Jon Mann-Krieger and Death Takes a Holiday Inn by Brandon Nicholas both use the same cast in two very different stories that interlace with one another. Both directors had one day to shoot their film and another cross over day in which they shared the set. It was probably one of the most difficult ways of doing things but somehow it managed to work!
Below are photos of our two directors along with cast members Jason Alan Smith, Diva Zappa, Troy Garity and myself…

The production of Do Not Disturb has come to an end, and we’ve managed to keep you updated every step of the way. One of the last shorts the crew worked on was entitled Prom, which was directed by Laura Henry. The cast included John Reese, Diva Zappa, Jonathan Majors, Lucinda Rogers, Adela Guzman, and Lissette Schuster. They shot a behind the scenes featurette that gives you a detailed look at all the work that went into making this portion of the film.

We’ve officially wrapped day one of Do Not Disturb and Eric Balfour’s, Duccios Madonna has been made! Amazingly enough it all came together pretty damn well. Thanks to an amazing cast and crew, we managed to get all of our shoots by the skin of our teeth, with no major break downs or explosions.
Tomorrow we’ll be giving the studio over to our AD in order to allow him to make his own short film (and help us balance our budget).
I’ve been on a set for 13 hours with almost no sleep for I’m not sure how long, so I’ll just let the videos do the talking…
