"Don't FOOL With Me" Update

BY VANGARDE GIRL NELLE, APRIL 8, 2011

My short film "Don't FOOL With Me" is still in the works.  I have about two more scenes to go.  Above is a one minute clip of lead actress Sheena Colette as "Elizabeth" hailing a cab afterwork.  As we approach completion an official trailer will be released.  "Don't FOOL With Me" is a collective effort between my cousin Dave E. Tozin and I. Can't wait to style and shoot the final scenes then edit.

Hint: Film revolves around a woman's intuition.

Uber-excited I began shooting my short film today. The shoot lasted from 10:00 AM to 7:00PM. Normally I would've spilled the beans on the plot but you'll have to wait for the official trailer.  I've already introduced Sheena in an earlier post.  Now meet Brunette Bombshell,  Alexandra Alexander.   I'm very thankful to be working with such a great team.  Above and below are some promotional images I shot today.

Meet The Star: Introducing Sheena Colette

Just a quick update on my progress with my short film "Don't Fool With Me".  Castings were held about two weeks ago in search of the main character Elizabeth.  Since the film only contains a small percentage of dialogue the goal was to find an actress able to evoke emotion without speech and nail the dialogue portion of the film.  There was a handful of good actresses making the decision process a bit difficult.  I narrowed my choices down by performance, ability to take direction and look.  After analyzing all the audition videos the director and I felt only one actress aced all three, Sheena Colette.  With virtually no direction Sheena was able to bring Elizabeth to life. Below is a clip from Sheena's audition video. Clip edited by yours truly.

Originally planned on releasing the film on Valentine's Day.  However due to increment weather in NYC the release date has been pushed back.  On a brighter note I now have more time to work on wardrobe.  If feels great watching my idea come to life.
