Preparing Submission to TIFF

After a bit of a hiatus to deal with some life happenings, we are pushing onwards to prepare Silent Music for submission to TIFF at the end of this week! This includes a rough sound mix and colour grade and cleaner and clearer subtitles and graphics – all this with the full expectation of doing a professional online of the film within the next few weeks. It’s incredibly exciting to see it all coming together… and can I say that Andrea’s beautifully haunting composition keeps getting better and better each time I watch the film??

Also in the works is the setting up of Perspective Pictures LLC – my company that will be behind the film… the process of setting this up has been a complete education in itself… and trust me, I still have lots to learn! I’ve also sought legal advice from Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts in New York… all in all it feels great to be doing this the right way! It’s taken us a REALLY long time to get here, so there’s no point in cutting corners at this point.

Fingers crossed TIFF will be the platform to launch the film and help speed up everything that’s left to do… in any case… it’s ever onwards! I cannot wait to let go of this film and see how the world receives it! As the time to let go draws nearer, I feel more and more blessed to have such a loving family that trusts me to share such a personal story… without their openness none of this would have been possible. So I am feeling incredibly grateful! On that note, it’s back to subtitling…
