Mark, I didn't realize all this until now. It's been awhile since we saw you on Mall Cop. What an opportunity this was for your family. Give hugs to Bethany and the kids and wish you guys a very Happy New Year in 2010. Hope to see you soon!!!

Hi Mark
We went to high school together and here I am reading the Portsmouth Herald and seeing your
film being voted Film of the year in NH. Great job!! I remember your Dad from Osco in Rochester
he would be really proud of you today! You have an amazing career and family! Best of luck to
you! Keep up the good work glad to see your back in NH. Your were here visiting your family
from California when your Dad brought you into Osco to say hi--and he always talked about you
and your career! Take care, Terri (last name is my married name)

Love the blog. Great job and everyone is able to really connect with what you guys did with the film. It's a very intriguing story and it's based in New England which I am bias to. Hope to hear great news about reactions at NHFF.

Eliya-Quaye did a wonderful job. It was so great working with your family, Mark! You're so right, the whole group involved in the making of the film is like a family, one I'm thrilled to be part of.

Oh man, so true! I look at the kids and wonder how they got to be 6 and 9 already!!!!

Thank you for checking in!

It was a really, really interesting time for us. Our kids are both passionate about everything they do(kinda like their mom and dad!!!). The moment Eliya-Quaye asked Bethany and I if she could take acting classes we gasped but she loves it so as parents we will be her(and Caleb)support for what they love.

Yea, cmajor, I may have a script she might have a small role in!!!

See you at the theater soon!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!

I was speechless(that's really hard for me) seeing my daughter in the film.

The business can definitely take it's toll on you both physically and emotionally. The toll it takes on the family can easily break that dynamic apart. I spent many years before I had a family living that high life but it certainly changes when you make those changes in your life.

As always with this group of filmmakers(Tracey, Chase, Smitty, Shawn, etc...) it is always a great experience. Having Bethany and Eliya-Quaye was stressful but knowing the jobs that they did makes it well worth it.

The film really looks great! When I saw the color corrected and sound mixed version my jaw hit the floor!!!

Thanks for checking in!

One minute they're babies, the next minute they're in your film. Great stuff. Really special experience to share with your daughter.

How lucky you are to be working with your wife and daughter on this film. I think its so important to find projects that you can share with your children that you are passionate about. I am sure this will not be the last time that your daughter and you work on a film together.

I can't wait to see the film!

What a lovely look inside the film production process. I think far too many people see film production as one long party where "Hollywood types" just party the entire time and a film just kind of happens at the end of it. No one thinks about the long days, the time away from loved ones and the potential toll it takes on the families.

Thank you for sharing such an intimate little family moment!

It sounds like it was a great project to be a part of. The fact that you got to work with your family on it sounds like it made things more fun. Really looking forward to the release to see it all come together.

Re: What Part of the Film Are You Most Curious About?

Amy Greenlaw — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:50:57 -0000

The film takes place in an unspecified area of New Hampshire. However the location used for "Crooked Lane", the house, was in Barrington, NH.

Re: Chase Bailey On Why He Chose The RED Camera

Bob P. — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 20:11:52 -0000

Thanks for these comments about the Red camera. I would love to here some technical comments about camera operation from your DP. I imagine you had it loaded with prime lenses...but I'm curious about the depth of field. How it compares to film. Also the digital work flow. Was it a big relief to not have film issues like mag changes.. dirt in the gate.. no crappy video taps..the ability to playback full color takes instantly...camera size, was the small cam a benefit? And finally, will you film look this in post to get your grain or leave it clean? Thanks...not too many people to ask these questions to (yet).
