First post

Hey people!


I've started this blog to chronicle my life as a production intern on Letters to God. Some people wanted updates and I figured this would be the easiest way.

Letters to God is being produced by Possibility Pictures and will be shot on location around Orlando and on set at Universal Studios Florida (soundstage 25). It's a Christian film centered around a 9-year-old boy's struggles with cancer and how it affects his family and friends. I'll post a more detailed synopsis when I get a copy of the treatment or final script, which should be soon.

Like I said, I'll be working as a production intern. Preproduction has officially started and is starting to rev up in preparation for shooting, which will begin at the end of May. Today we had a production meeting with all the department heads together for the first time. We went over plans for the film's production and I ran around making production passes for everyone (these passes allow us into the Universal backlot and the employee cafeteria--cheaply priced, ironically--as well as the theme park on the weekends, for free).

David Nixon, the director, has assembled what he called "category leaders leading a category." All the department heads are experienced professionals with a strong interest in reinventing the "Christian film" category. Everyone is excited to be here and create a high quality product that will hopefully set a precedent for many future Christian films.

Lots of various production tasks (permits, contracts, etc.) need to be done this week. Callbacks for actors will be soon and an open casting call will take place this Friday. Possibility has leased out soundstage 25 on Universal's backlot and all the office work will be based out of here. We're trying to organize the various office office spaces this week.


I'll try and update every day. We're pretty busy, so there should be tons of interesting stuff to post.

Check back tomorrow!
