Sons of the Potomac
THE SONS OF THE POTOMAC FILM PROJECT
The “Sons of the Potomac” are the hilarious Improv Acting team of two of my friends, Jack and John, who I met through classes at Improv Boston. SoP will be performing a string of live shows at Improv Boston this April…Go to the Filmshift Festival Facebook page for more information.
The three of us have talked a bunch of times in the past about producing a series of narrative comedic shorts that I have written but have been laying on the shelf.
I’m currently in talks with 3 separate cinematographers with amazing reels and their own high-end equipment to shoot a number of my projects, and one of the DP’s who I talked to on Thursday is really interested in shooting at least three of the screenplays I wrote for SoP.
And just yesterday, at the After Party for a play that Jack was in, called, “Number The Stars,” (Directed by my sister Samantha,) we talked a bit more seriously about what ideas we like best. I’m going to try to write a few more ideas between now and April, but we’re all psyched about doing it.
So now, we have a writer/director/producer, actors on board, and a camera-man tentatively signed on…with all the equipment we need…I’m calling that a good start! Future posts will go over the process of finding locations, polishing the script, and rehearsing the scenes…So stay tuned!
