Follow the first few days of production on “Anamnesis,” an emotional trip into the surreal for Finite Films.
This production diary chronicles the third and final day of shooting for Mistletoe – the quickest turnaround of any Finite Films production thus far.
Voting is officially open for the next film Alex will be directing, to be released in May. Will one character love ribbon dancing while having an ambiguous sexual orientation, or will the entire movie take place in one day and contain a shot from a previous Finite Film? The combinations are endless! (There are actually 116,280 combinations…)
YOU decide!

Hi Everyone!
This week we wrapped principal photography on Finite’s February Film, Anamensis. We still have a pick-up shoot next week, and some visual effects elements to figure out, but the main bulk of filming has wrapped–and it went extremely well!
Finite Films has really become a well-oiled machine after our sometimes tumultuous first year. Even though this shoot took us from a suburban backyard to the middle of Joshua Tree National Park, our incredible cast & crew was always at the top of their game, no matter how crazy the shooting conditions became. Looking at the footage we got, I can tell you I’m particularly excited about Finite’s first 2012 release.
Today, I’m going to sit down to start editing the film, thus beginning the always intense post-production process. First, an initial edit of the film. Then revisions. Then more revisions, and more, eventually resulting in a “locked cut.” After that, we have even more work to do–color correction, sound design & mixing, visual effects, and composing the musical score. In any case, even though production is wrapping up, we still have a long way to go! We’ll keep you updated as Anamnesis takes shape over the next couple weeks.
As I like to say (usually in a slightly excited/ominous tone), “here we go…”

P.S. Here are some teaser images from Anamnesis. Check out more photos from the shoot on our Facebook page.
Hey everyone! We’re back!
Well, we never really left. We’ve been working this whole time, but we shifted our focus a bit to enjoy the holidays. It was a nice semi-break, but now it’s back to full throttle.
Alex was writing the entire time, and is now in full-on production mode on February Film, also known as Anamnesis. Ryan and co-writer Max Kleinman are hammering out the script for March Film, and I watched about ten films this past week in order to do some research on 40s noir as per the constraint chosen for April Film.
We also just created an Instagram account, so if you have an iPhone follow us for lots of on-set picture updates each day. Look for lots of updates coming in the next few days, starting with our latest production diary, which covers the first two nights of shooting the office scene for our holiday film, Mistletoe.

Well, the constraints are in for April Film, and here’s what you guys chose:
• The main character never speaks a line of dialogue. – Freddie A.
• Must be in the style of a 40′s noir. – Olivia
• A supernatural being/non-human must masquerade as a human. – Dan B.
• One of the characters doesn’t speak English. – Ana K.
• Plot must revolve around the murder of a character we never know. – MD
• A character must say the line “Please stop shooting me.” – Dan B.
• A character must say the line “I don’t know where, I don’t know when, I don’t know how, and I don’t know why. Well, I know where…” – Daniel C.
I guess people were tired of cute, romantic story-lines!
I look forward to tackling these constraints and I hope to make them all happen in a way that does not disappoint…
