Two days and Thirty two hours later...

Aspiring and unknown film maker Micheal Dawson totally impressed me over the weekend while shooting his short film for the upcoming season of "IN THE CAN with JR DIGS" that goes on the air in a couple weeks! After considering tons and tons of submissions for season two and looking at dozens of short films on line from the thousands of shorts Steve searched out over the internet in hopes that I could find the right bunch of film makers to work with this summer, I know for sure now that Mike was a great choice.

Although he is a first time director, the cast and crew he assembled this past weekend was awesome. Two days before we began shooting on Saturday morning, he didn't have a location nailed down yet but ended up in two luxury suites in a swanky down town Toronto hotel.

I don't want to give too much away with regards to a couple of the curvballs I tossed at him over the weekend while shooting, because it might ruin the fun of watching the episode. Lets just say that he absolutely proved this past weekend that he is a great director and film maker and I hope all the film makers that have been chosen to be a part of the series this summer put as much into making their short film as he did!

Looking forward to making another short film again next weekend!
