The song is ‘Get Me Away From Here, I’m Dying’ by Belle & Sebastian and the exuberant performer is the one and only Jeff Fal

Over the weekend we participated in a photoshoot for the Donnybrook Writing Academy directed by our talented and charming friend, photographer and artist Nina Barry. The shoot was a blast and the resulting photos are rather attractive, if we say so ourselves (you can see them here).

James Darling was in town with his fancy new HD Camera and shot this great time lapse of one of the setups. Josh threw it together with a spot of music, popped it online and here we are — Enjoy!

Thanks to our good friend Brit Horvat, this week over at yourhub.com they printed an article I wrote about the production of Lowered Expectations and its conception. Through a magical and tortuous route, it eventually found its way to the cover of the yourhub section of both the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News this week. If you’d like to read it, I’m including the article below – or, for the purists amongst you, you can read it in its original setting here.

Production Stills from Lowered Expectations Episode 03 – the Dream Analyst below! The shoot of episode 3 went swimmingly. I think we have a lot of great material and some really fun/funny performances from the cast. I’ve started cutting and it’s all coming together really well. There are also a few fun effects to watch out for (check out the last photo in the set for a sneak preview). Those are going to take a bit longer in post-production, though we’re hoping to pull everything together in the next couple of weeks for an early September release.

Episode 03 features: Josh Shayne, Tyler Mark, Vanessa Barcus, Tasha Shayne, Vic Shayne, and Janice Shayne. Cinematography by Jason Lange. To whet your appetite as well as keep you sated for a a little bit, we’re putting up a few of the stills from the shoot for your perusal. Thanks for watching!
