VOTE FOR EBBE











Hi there internet world and blog readers. I just want to drop a quick line about a short film I worked on two years ago that is being entered in a film festival in France. Ebbe the Hunter or Le miroir et l'enfant as it is called in French. It is slightly cut for the film festival, but it would be great if we can get the support from my readers and visitors. I'm very proud of this film, I was the cinematographer on it. I've worked with this cast and crew many times and I don't think we could've made the film without them. We shot the film in Toronto, Canada on one of the snowiest winters. It was a joy and pain to make the film, but it was all worth it. So please watch and vote! Vote everyday until January 15th!

WATCH FILM

Thanks,

Dan Lam

Toronto, Round 2.

Hey guys, so I'll be leaving tomorrow evening for Toronto, Canada. I'm going there for the second time to work on a short film with a few Columbia University friends. I'm going to be Camera Assisting on the RED One. About eight days of shooting, four days outdoors and four in. I'm leaving this cold weather for even colder weather, I am looking forward to it... Last time I went, it was around the same time, so I know what to expect. I just hope that I don't lose a finger or two to frostbite. Plus, we're working with more equipment this time around.

I've been a little stressed about the shoot these past few days. I normally worry about a shoot the day before it starts, but this has been building up for a while. A lot of things factor into it. I've been procrastinating in packing up and doing the laundry. I spent the last few days just watching movies and hanging out with my family. I've got like five other DVDs at home to watch. Hopefully, once I get into it I'll forget my worries and will get the chance to concentrate on my work.
