the brochure

the filmmaking world is complex. the thought of so many artists collaborating to create a something always leaves me in awe. for example, today we had a screening of the social network which was penned by aaron sorkin, directed by david fincher, shot by jeff cronenweth and the combination of so many others. it was an engaging, entertaining piece of cinema.

that's the world we join, currently, just on a smaller scale. first things first, JIN.

to help us get to that point preproduction is full of planning on how to make the film. one of many things in progress, fundraising. thus, a peak at our almost finished brochure, an excellent tool when we have to talk to friends, family, business and strangers. borrowing and keeping with the theme of our website here it is:

First step.

 From Feb. 2010. 

"IL Cho" has been writing the script "AIR", which is about war-drama short of Afghanistan for his Cycle3 in AFI.

He was pitching the ideas to Cinematographer "Sam Kim", and looking for "bad ass" producer.

First time he showed the first draft to "Sam Limor", 

it said "Humveess rolling down the ground and Blackhawks land on the base in Kabul, Afghanistan" 

Sam Limor said, "Good luck, buddy"

Few weeks later, he brought the entire army base and vehicles onto team, and said

"let's go"

And then, IL needs a sharp screenwriter who can spell out the unique and muscular nature of the scrip. Therefore, he meets "Alex J. Ankrom"

Principle team for "AIR" lined up, and yes yes'll, they rock the project and bond like the brothers.

As you can see,

They became the team "JIN"

Development

AFI, where the art of storytelling is born.
