"Yukuharu - The Fading of Spring" Principal Photography Complete

It's been quite a while since I've touched the blog. I'd been in pre-production on my short film Yukuharu - The Fading of Spring (『行く春』). That was interspersed with doing my small part for Niji-Iro Cinema (a non-profit initiative that screens movies for disaster survivors across Tohoku), a bit of work for Screen and subtitle translation for a new Toei crime drama entitled Hard Romanticker (『ハードロマンチッカー』).

I'm happy to announce that principal photography on Yukuharu was completed this past weekend and it went very, very well. There was quite a lot of filming packed into two days but our cast and crew were fantastic. It had been over 10 years since I was behind a camera directing narrative -- it was a thrill to see the words on the page of my screenplay come to life. As I tweeted a couple of days ago "We captured Amazing images, performances, sounds and moments of humanity."

As I enter post-production I will be posting credits and more info about the film, as well as images. As Yukuharu was the first film produced under the Loaded Films Ltd. banner (our little company established earlier this year - see our Facebook page) there should be some kind of Yukuharu subsite under the official Loaded Films website when that's up and running. I also posted regular updates on the film's IndieGoGo project page. Another thank you to those who contributed.

More updates soon!

Looks like the project is coming along beautifully. I was wondering if you are you going to be looking for people to work on post-production?

My search for a contact address to send you a résumé was fruitless, and I would just like to ask if you will be looking for a composer or sound designer.

Hi,
I just installed a new contact form the other day. It's at the bottom of the right-hand column. Thanks.
