As most of you are aware, Olivier, the Director of Photography, was the first crew member to come aboard 'project pedal' in early December, almost immediately afterwards he had sent me an email, referring two of his close film-partners, Olan Bowland, a talented photographer, also the builder of the new mini35 kit [or in this case the new HDV35 kit], and Quentin Aksajef, who is, from what I hear, an amazing editor and a very experienced camera operator. Both had studied filmmaking techniques in Belgium, and both were personally familiar with Another State of Mind's unique style and approach.

I knew I wasn’t going to come across a better situation. With this team of three I had a –very talented - bulk of the project’s crew fulfilled, most importantly; these three wouldn't require any “adjustment period” during the first few weeks of shooting - they could jump right in and feel comfortable enough with each other to express their own ideas and concerns.

So, I am, of course, very excited to announce the addition of Olan and Quentin to the film’s crew. I really can’t say enough about how ecstatic I am with the film’s progress… to quote Moulin Rouge’s Harold Zidler, “every things going so well”!
