Hi, this is Tom Lassu - I am a writer/director with European
influences - I was born and raised in Hungary. We have several
actors, a kick-ass composer, and a special-effect make-up person on
board.
Our fierce team needs a versatile, non-cliche-sequences oriented
Editor and a sound person with a boom pole and mixer to complement
our strengths. Meaningful cinematographical experiments are likely
to be on the menu for us to choose from.
I believe that the right editor has a sophisticated eye for visual
possibilities that the director and DP may not be always fully aware
of, thus the Editor should be on the set to suggest sequences and to
nip post production problems in the bud.
Kurosawa used to edit daily footage after the wrap every night,
fresh out of the cartridge. Because of the compressed time frame
availabe, I anticipate the editor hanging out behind the Director
and the DP, exchange some words, watch the shooting and prompt the
DP every hour and half to: "give it to me man, I have an idea, I can
do it in 30 minutes right now, hurry up!"
Most likely we will use my house in Fairview, NJ (30 mins from
Manhattan) as the production center, and probably some nearby
locations. You can count on better than average food, and a result-
oriented atmosphere that balances having fun with making a good
film. The emphasis will be on work, but if we do it right it should
feel like play.
I am looking forward to speak to you,
Tom Lassu
Writer/Director
