Pics from Shoplifting from American Apparel & Brad Warner Documentary

We first shot in Akron for the Brad Warner documentary. Noah Cicero and Jordan Castro met up for the Zero Defex show. I showed them a rough trailer for THE HUMAN WAR.


Randy Blythe from LAMB OF GOD came out to support ZERO DEFEX during the show. He even got up to sing a few songs.


After shooting in Akron, we went to Solon, Ohio to begin filming a trailer for SHOPLIFTING FROM AMERICAN APPAREL (SFAA). Here is a shot of Andrew Crighton and TJ Hellmuth inspecting a camera before shooting one of the opening scenes for the trailer.


James Roehl and Brad Warner contemplate the screen as we shoot one of the first scenes in SFAA.


Noah Cicero lays out his lines on the table in front of him to help him get through the scene.


After several days of shooting, we began to watch dailies at night. As you can see, we were all pretty exhausted. I don't even think Jordan is awake in these pictures.


Andrew Crighton (Director of Photography) adjusts lighting for a scene in SFAA.

(More pics in the coming days. We'll have the trailer up on Kickstarter for donations by March 1, 2011.)

Off to Ohio!

The adventure begins...

We will shoot a trailer for SHOPLIFTING FROM AMERICAN APPAREL (SFAA) from 2/10-2/12.

We will also film an interview with LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe for BRAD WARNER: THE ENLIGHTENIZER, and then also film ZERO DEFEX performing at THE MATINEE in Akron at 10 p.m. on 2/9.

Here is a bit of the storyboard for SFAA. Donate in March to see the movie come to life.

SHOPLIFTING TRAILER in February!

We are making progress towards filming SHOPLIFTING FROM AMERICAN APPAREL.

Jeffrey Brown (cartoonist) has sent the uncolored poster for SFAA. It's pretty fabulous. He has also volunteered to send original drawings of the animated images to be auctioned for funds.

Steven Andrew has gotten up the new refurbished Sangha Films website.

If we keep plowing forward, and make a solid push at this virtual fundraising campaign in March, we will have a full-fledged movie on our hands come June.

February Shooting Schedule will be hectic, but lots of fun. I'll be posting pics and tweets, etc. in the coming week.
