Dreams can come true...

Good People,

   We have officially wrapped production and are in the post stage. I will have to be honest with you, shooting a feature is really hard work. Post- production is just as hard. I didn’t realize how much time and money goes into making sure you have great sound, publishing, marketing (which has already started) and achieving the professional look that everyone doesn’t expect an indie to have. I have done and will continue to do everything in my power to ensure that does not happen with 4 Minutes. I am extremely proud of what we have and I know once post is over, we will have created a great feature film. 

            While producing 4 Minutes, I realized the importance of having  key people around you be positive and supportive. It was a lot of daily stress for me just making sure we stayed on budget and on schedule. It made all the difference in the world to have people who shared the same goal and had fun in the process. It was days where every one was tired and drained, but the morale remained high. Always make sure the environment YOU create is conducive to a relaxed atmosphere.  Remember why everyone is there, because YOU asked them too. Not really for pay or credit, but because they believe in your vision. Its so important for you to be able to share your vision and have others see it as well as believe in it.

I am also proud of the fact that we set a start and finish date and we stuck to it.

 And finally...

Just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks to all the members of the 4 Minutes Team who all put their souls and wallets on the line to make this happen - couldn't have done it without each and every one of you...

 

Thanks Family

 Dwayne-
