Random thoughts from Post production hell

Its been a long battle, and so many times I wanted to give up but couldn't because I didn't know what else to do. I burned the bridge 9 years ago so that I would have no way to retreat. Days came when I hated myself for doing so, I wanted a way out, I laughed at my situation and wondered why am I trying to make movies? what is wrong with me? but its a compulsive disorder that filmmakers have and soon enough I find myself coming up with new ideas for movies, and I keep saying wtf am I doing I need a job, I need health insurance, I need to pay rent, I need some new clothes. But because theres no way out, I have been forced to think "okay, stop thinking where your path of retreat is at, and start thinking about how you can survive this battle!" Its a fight to the death here.

This last few months have been a dark time for me as it usually is when one is in the pits of post-production hell. Not knowing if your child will breathe, or die. I'm finally seeing a glimmer of light as we near the final stages of post production. Sound design is 2 weeks from being finished on LAS VEGAS STORY. POSTER looks AMAZING! There is hope for the future! Music sounds great! SXSW submitted, fingers crossed. Tribeca submission this week.

Stay tuned y'all.

Hello fellow filmmakers and film lovers!

Hello. My name is Byron Q, a writer/director/filmmaker from Los Angeles trying to make it in the film biz. As of today, I've made 3 feature films. My first film is called "BANG BANG", a coming of age drama about 2 kids affected by gang life and teenage angst. It won a jury prize for Best 1st Feature at the 2011 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival where it premiered. I have since gone on to successfully self distribute the film. It is available on Itunes, Amazon VOD, DVD/ BluRay, and also on Chill.com. Anyone in the world can view the film as long as they have access to the internet.

My 2nd film is a feature documentary called RASKAL LOVE, a biopic about a Gangster who became a pioneering breakdancer in Seattle during the 90's. Currently making the festival circuit after it premiered at the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival in 2013.

My 3rd film is still in post production. Currently titled LAS VEGAS STORY, with oscar nominated ERIC ROBERTS.

All posts here will be about my journey to make films and also insights and advice on self distribution models, as well as filmmaking techniques and thoughts on the direction of the industry. Thank you for reading! Please connect with me on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, PINTEREST, TUMBLR.

All the best,

Byron Q
