By Tessa Moran We finally captured all 45 hours of tape, and have now embarked on the task of logging. That is, labeling and organizing all of our captured footage. We have tried to be very detailed in our descriptions of each scene so that we can use the searching […]

The Day Has Finally Arrived! We Have a Mac Pro!
Well, we did not lie. We bought the Mac Pro (well we said we would buy the 15th, but it came out a week earlier than that!) Our Mac Pro arrived a couple of days ago, and it was well worth the wait. Months of staring at our tapes, patiently […]
January 15th Will be the Day!
January 15th will be the day we buy a Mac Pro, regardless if Steve Jobs announces it at Macworld or not. Of course we are hoping that a new Mac Pro will be unleashed upon the world on 1/15, but in the unlikely scenario that it is not, we will […]
Post Production Has Officially Begun (Still no Mac Pro)
We have officially begun post production on the Kibbutz doc! Alas, the Mac Pro was not updated last week, so we do not have our own edit bay yet, but we have found a temporary solution that allows us to start capturing our footage. We just couldn’t go any longer […]
Barberin’ Out of the Running and Update on Post Production
Well Barberin’ made it to the quarterfinals of this month’s OurStage competition, but then quickly dropped in ranking after that and didn’t make it to the semis. We are currently waiting to see if Barberin’ gets accepted to the Our City Film Fest (what’s with all the “Our” film fests?), […]

We Were Stars… For a Weekend.
It’s been nearly two weeks since DC Shorts has ended, and all the excitement of being directors at a film festival has subsided. We left the competition without any prizes, but we definitely did not leave empty handed. Great parties, family and friends, and having a large audience to watch […]
Barberin’ in the Press – Plus a Sneak Peek!
DC Shorts starts tonight (although our film isn’t showing until Saturday), so we thought we would provide everyone with a little teaser of the film! Check out the first 40 seconds or so of Barberin’ below (sorry for the low quality)! Barberin’ is also getting a little exposure in the […]
Back in the Good Ol’ USA!
We’re finally back in the states, after a long trip back home. All of our equipment, and most importantly our tapes, have made it back in one piece. Traveling from Israel to DC carrying 45 hours of irreplaceable footage was quite nerve racking. While we don’t have a computer to […]
The Last Day.
“OH my god, oh my god, we have to go down now, now. I’m going to pass out.” Words mean little up here in our steel cage, floating 100 feet above the kibbutz. The loud drone of the crane engine muffles Tessa’s voice as she falls deeper into her panic […]
The Waning Days
By Ben Crosbie We are now in our final stages of production. With only a week left to go, we are in the home stretch. Each storyline and every character arc has to reach it’s conclusion, and all the remaining b-roll and establishing shots have to be filmed. After looking […]
Safta Sarah.
By Tessa Moran We’ve decided to add one more character to our film — Safta, Ben’s grandmother. She can offer an excellent perspective on the kibbutz because she has lived here for over 70 years. She has tremendous dedication to the kibbutz, and defends it at all costs. She is […]
