I decided to start recording my thoughts and quick summaries of the movies I watch. This is mostly for my own good – so I remember what story has what title, and also to categorize the movies by “genres” as coined by Blake Snyder in the book Save The Cat! If you haven’t yet read it, some of the comments may not make much sense to you. Much recommended if you too are working on a screenplay.
These are not going to be the usual reviews you generally find on the Web, and I may even post some SPOILERS – so be careful. But I hope that it will be useful at least to me, and maybe to some other screenwriters.
So, here we go…
I’m releasing today the director’s cut of my short movie “The Devil in the Detail”. View it here:
The story is originally written by Alexey Berezin (my brother) in 2006, which in early 2009 I converted into a screenplay (big thanks to Michael Dougan for help and guidance!), and then produced, directed and edited over the next few months with the crew from Scary Cow Productions, and finally screened at Victoria Theatre in San Francisco at the Scary Cow Independent Film festival.
Much credit goes to the actors -- Jerome Shafer (David), Andrin Foster (Gaylord the Devil) and Karuna Tanahashi (Lili), as well as the excellent crew members: Talha Ahmed (location, 1st camera), Mark Lisaj (2nd camera), Dee Leitner (makeup), Terry VerHaar (lighting), Dan Patterson (grip), Dave Cowl (sound), Gina Richman (2nd editor), and Russell Blalack (sound conditioning). Many thanks go to Silicon Valley Studios for providing their studio space, and the Scary Cow Productions for helping such projects happen.
Please leave your comments about the movie -- I’d love to hear your feedback!
Also, for higher quality copies (DVD and possibly Blu-Ray), feel free to send me a request.
Enjoy!

Now that I’ve completed my Producer Training at KMVT, I’m looking for a good topic to produce my own show. It has to be not-for-profit (-ish), light-hearted and dynamic. I love to shoot in the field and edit my stuff, so the studio talk show would be generously peppered with cut-aways, possibly special effects and cool music.
Well, I’m still thinking… If anyone got any ideas, I’d love to hear those (leave me a comment!). Thanks!

I’m happy to announce that my short 10min movie “The Devil in the Detail” will be screened on Sunday, October 4, 2009 at the Victoria Theatre in San Francisco starting 3pm (along with a bunch of other shorts done with the Scary Cow Productions).
Check this page for the ticket details (once the theatre puts it up), and hope to see you at the screening!
…And the site was born.
Took it roughly two months from the conception of the idea, registering of the domain, and the climatic insertion of the top-loaded HTML with the “Under Construction” code seed, to this first post.
Bang!
Judging by the gestation period, it may have to do something with feline creatures, but we have yet to see that…
