GNOCCHI will screen with two other films: THE INDIAN & THE SAMURAI, written and directed by Shilpi Roy, and SHATTERCANE, written and directed by Michael Tringe.
Hope to see you there!
Collin, Kwok and I met up yesterday to do color correction on the film. It's always fun to hang out with those guys but it was even better last night since, at around 11 PM, the film was finished! It will screen at USC on Sunday, February 8, so mark your calendars now.
I also want to give a special shout out to my parents, Tom Harada and the Samuel and Lorenza Gary Memorial Award, for helping to push the movie through the final stages of post-production.
For everybody who is anxious to hear the most updated information about the status of the film -- we did the online and layback about two weeks ago, which means that the final hurdle to jump before we have a completed movie is color correction. That should happen in the next few weeks.
In other news, for anybody on myspace, check out Gnocchi's page and become a friend of the movie!

The exciting news of the moment is that the sound mix was completed today! The fact that this was actually accomplished is due in no small part to the awesomeness of mixers Dave Lankton and Paul Fonarev. Thanks, guys!
