The Production is Wrapped!

Well it has been several weeks since we wrapped Photography on Redux and I wanted to thank everyone who had a part in making this film.  Thanks for all your time and effort spent bringing the film to life.

Redux was originally written back in 2002 and through the years it has sat on the shelf, waiting for the right time to be made.  So, I can say that it’s an amazing feeling to finally see it realized.

Filmmaking is something Chris and I take very personally and nothing is more gratifying to us than to have a production run as smoothly as this one has.  We met new people, forged new relationships, and worked with some of our most talented friends.  That alone has made this a production one I will always remember.  And for that I thank you all very much.

And currently the Redux Movie website is up.  Please check it out – www.reduxmovie.com.  It’s a temp site in its infancy.  It will grow as we progress toward the completion of the film.

I thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.

Best wishes,
Sean

A slightly larger introduction from a Christopher Moro

Thank you, Jeremy for such a nice introduction.  For everyone reading this, Jeremy has been a huge supporter of our films and he, along with our friends, family, film colleagues, and representation, has encouraged us to publish more on the web.  Alas, web publishing of any kind is a skill very much lost on me.  I simply don’t get it.  Maybe I ride the short bus to Dreamweaver school.

So… www.morobrosfilms.wordpress.com is meant to serve as an interim web page for what will hopefully soon be a Production Journal, or News, or blog portion of www.morobrosfilms.com.  Jeremy, in his effort to help us, set the whole blog up and all the way from Iraq too (where let’s face it, he’s doing much more important work).

“Redux” is a short film that my brother Sean Moro has written and is in the process of directing…and which I am producing.  At the time of this writing, we are less than 2 days away from completing Principal Photography.  It is the largest production we have independently taken on and the process has been very rewarding.  There is nothing like doing it independently.  — There are 9 locations, 7 main roles, 25 pages, day exteriors and night exteriors, real locations and built sets, some modest action and effects — and all of it in amazing 4K Digital Resolution. 

The hope is for this blog to serve as a kind of behind the scenes journal in text (and photos & video, once I figure out how to upload them), which will not only give an impression of what it was like to make this movie, but perhaps also help our fellow filmmakers should they find anything educational or useful herein.  I’m not sure yet how we will organize the blogs, since there is much to write about that has already happened, but we’ll figure out a way to do it.  Non-linear storytelling is certainly not unfamiliar to most.

On the last film I directed (and which Sean produced), “The Bedtime Story,” we didn’t have production still photographs, or wordpress.com, or the ease of creating a journal like this,.  But on “Redux,” we have a lot of photos, and this blog should help us to finally create a production journal not only for “Redux,” but maybe even for “The Bedtime Story” as well.

Okay, back to producing.  Stay tuned….

A little introduction from a fan

Greetings!  My name is Jeremy Caskey, a friend and long time fan of the Moro Brothers.  Chris and I went to high school together.  Along with Sean, he went on to pursue a career in the industry as a budding new talent, waiting to take the world by storm, while I have moved through the ranks of the military as a combat videographer currently serving in Iraq. 

But I digress, this blog has nothing to do with me.  This blog was created to highlight two talented filmmakers that I have known for over 15 years.  Christopher and Sean Moro are currently in production on their newest film, “Redux,” written and directed by Sean and produced by Chris.  I am eager to see their results and progress as they take us on their journey via this blog.
