Last week's trip to Santa Monica was fruitful in many ways. In addition to meeting with established film and record producers who are interested in joining our Beautiful Noise Team to help market and distribute the current film and soundtrack, I was able to huddle with Danielle and Jay away from the hustle and bustle of a movie set to discuss the next 2 BN films in detail. I've also been in contact with Kimber and other terrific songwriters to start the process of selecting great original songs for the upcoming films - and I've already started the casting process for "Serenade" & "Heartlight" by bringing Dane Diamond into the BN fold. Dane's a marvelous L.A.-based actor/musician who will play an important role in the prequel and sequel. It will also mark the first time he's been able to act in the same film with his Father, King Errisson, who will be reprising his role as 'Zeus'.
As for the movie that will launch the Beautiful Noise franchise, Marc Alford and I are closing in on the final stretch of editing the film. The more we see of the footage that was shot entirely on location here on Florida's Suncoast, the more we believe we have something special on our hands. We pieced together the heavy dialogue scenes first; now we're ramping up to edit the intricate song sequences, which we've purposely saved for last. Across town, my co-music producers Roger & Mo are prepping the final tracks and mixes for the Soundtrack at Sarasota's Top Secret Recording Studio.
The day is coming soon where we'll marry up the sights and sounds that comprise our little musical-drama and submit the finished product to film festivals the world over and release the film through all the digital platforms discussed in my previous blog post. But for now, I'm savoring these private moments where I'm meshing my Story with the songs and the performances of some truly wonderful actors and singers.
