Here’s a quick video Christina Rose and I recorded soon after hitting our goal tonight! We couldn’t have done it without all of your generous support! Thank you again for donating and spreading the word. We’ll soon be sharing more updates on the orchestra when there’s significant news….and we’ve got some Backer requested songs to get ready to perform for you as well (including the one using all of the words you’ve given us!)

Kevin previously donated to our first campaign….so by combining his pledge amounts it allowed him to request a song for our cast to sing. He has been nothing short of amazing in his support — so this is a special video (with a special guest appearance). Much appreciated Gary and the cast!
Maria previously donated to our first campaign….so by combining her pledge amounts it allowed her to request a song for me to sing. Here’s the result: Just 20 days left in our all-or-nothing campaign. And we’re 33% funded!! Thank you Maria and to everyone for your generosity and support!! ***UPDATE*** Just got a pledge where I have to do another song. Ohhhhh boy. Much appreciated Gary and the cast!
Fresh off the presses. Here’s a beautiful poster by good friend and filmmaker Brendon Fogle (Twitter: @bfogle75). His short film in development is SYNC (@syncthefilm) www.syncthefilm.com Presented by Cinema Speakeasy and Cinefist – more details here I plan to donate my share of the proceeds to another filmmaker’s crowdfunding campaign (to be determined after the screening). Christina Rose and I hope to see you there! Film Info Page OFFICIAL WEBSITE IMDB Page Facebook Fan Page Kickstarter Page TEASER 1 TEASER [...]
I was a guest on #ScriptChat (via Twitter) this past Sunday to talk about my experiences on bringing your script to life. ScriptChat is an amazing networking community of screenwriters who chat, share and learn about the wonderful process of writing. Learn more about this group here. It was great connecting with so many talented and enthusiastic writers. The hour quickly flew by and I spent about 30 extra minutes trying to catch up to all the questions. I started [...]

This blog entry pertains to my latest Kickstarter campaign which is seeking to raise finishing funds (including live orchestration) for my movie musical. As a special incentive, we are starting a new game that involves all of our current and future backers. If you donate any amount, we will ask you to give us a single word of your choice — any word at all. At the very end of this campaign, we will take the list of compiled words [...]
I’m proud to announce that we are embarking on one final Kickstarter campaign for HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG to raise its finishing funds. Everyone involved with this film feels truly blessed to have accomplished what we’ve done so far with the generous support of countless people. It’s truly humbling. We are now coming to the end of the post-production process and this campaign seeks the funding to help us complete the project in the best way [...]
I’m proud to say that our latest teaser for HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG had its exclusive premiere on THE FILM STAGE (after I shared it first with our Kickstarter backers). They had some great words of support for the film, the cast and myself. “…we are excited to exclusively reveal this trailer and showcase a truly exciting upcoming talent that everyone should be paying attention to…” Click here to visit the full article Here’s the new teaser [...]
As part of our thank you rewards, we had been performing special song requests for people that pledged a certain amount. This one is a little late….but we are finally happy to do it for Will and David!!
Over the weekend the main cast of HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG gathered in a makeshift studio (Joe’s Brooklyn apartment) to lay down additional vocals for various tracks. Just a quiet top floor and a huge floor rug taped against the window can do wonders for DIY soundproofing a space. We were sad to miss one of our actors Mark DiConzo, but happy that the rest (Joe Schermann, Christina Rose, Debbie Williams, Jenn Dees, Daryl Ray Carliles) [...]
We released a new poster for HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG a few weeks ago…I just haven’t had time to share it on my blog yet. I love this one as it brings to mind A CHORUS LINE and ALL THAT JAZZ. More goodies coming soon. click image to enlarge See all the images and videos associated with the film on the official website
Well….I hope we get to screen our film overseas when it’s ready — but it’s very cool to see an Italian website showing our trailer some love. CLICK ON OVER to check out our trailer on iVid I’m busy working on the next rough cut as well as a new trailer — if all goes to plan they’ll both be ready in Feb.
Over this past weekend, 2 film news sites that I hold in high regard covered our HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG teaser: /FILM writes: “I don’t think I can remember any indie in recent memory that wanted to be a musical as well. It just doesn’t seem like a task for too many filmmakers, unless you’re a young Rob Marshall and have your sights set on crafting something extraordinary, something really expensive. For sheer ambition alone the [...]
new (Winter 2010) teaser poster – click to enlarge I scheduled a private test screening of the assembly cut (i.e. very first cut of the film) for Sunday (12/19) at a cozy apartment in Manhattan courtesy of some generous friends. The majority of attendees have no association with the project and aren’t familiar with the storyline other than knowing they’re going to see a musical. I thought I’d keep a running journal for the month of December on where I’m [...]
In honor of editing the dance sequences for “SCHERMANN SONG” — here are the wonderfully talented & beautiful dancers. I felt like 007 that day.

Had another great year at the Flyway Film Festival! I had the honor of screening 2 films (WHAT’S UP LOVELY and DEATH OF THE DEAD) this time around. Both showings were pretty packed for this intimate festival tucked away in the charming town of Pepin and Stockhom, Wisconsin. Both films had great feedback! @BillElverman tweeted that WHAT’S UP LOVELY is “an artistic masterpiece, Jenn Dees gives best indie performance of year so far…” @loopmovie said that DEATH OF THE DEAD [...]
