New Projects on the Horizon + Happy Holidays!

Well, here it is December 14th and I don't have a Christmas tree yet! In fact, I believe it was only yesterday when I realized that I have roughly 10 days till Christmas and I haven't so much as even strolled past Rockefellar Center to glimpse at the tree or considered the hopeless task of waiting in line for 3 hours to ice skate below it (as I do pretty much every year! Not the skating part, but the consideration of waiting in line to skate!). In any case, happy holidays to those who, unlike me, have realized that they're fast approaching!

This past week I've kept busy helping out in the art department for Givenchy's Ange ou Demon fragrance TV commercial. This was kind of a treat for me because a) I very rarely work in the art department and it was interesting to get a feel for that (very detailed and intricate!) side of production, and b) I got to know some very talented designers, set dressers, wardrobe supervisors, etc etc. Uma Thurman is the face of the campaign, and the commercial was directed by Mira Nair, with whom I have interned and assisted for the past year. I was working under production designer Stephanie Carroll, who has worked on films like The War Within, Definitely Maybe, and the new Amelia Earhart biopic starring Hilary Swank (also directed by Mira Nair). Needless to say, I felt very privileged to be working among this group and felt I learned a great deal just watching them get it all done. 

Next week, I'll be on set for Two Tones Pictures production of "Mr. Cellophone", for which I am representing Passage Pictures as a co-producer. Tony Cox and Anthony Pizzuto, the talented and fantastic team of web designers in charge of this here site, are directing and acting, respectively! Our good friend, actress Lipica Shah, is also playing a role in the film. Should be a fun weekend!

Stay tuned for a possibly large update ... waiting to make some final decisions, but the skies look clear to fly for a big project in February! As I said, stay tuned!

So everyone get their holiday cheer on, to make up for the fact that I have forgotten to do so! Will be updating soon, thanks for stopping by!
