One month later.

It's been a month since we left New York and we've gotten some great footage. 

Our Thai connection Mook has been a great asset in Bangkok, unfortunately we have to leave this crazy city against out will and pass through Hong Kong on the way back home. Once in the States we will share a sneak peak of the footage so far. But for now, here's a picture of us and Mook. 

Additional fundraising

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed so far. We have two weeks left of filming in South East Asia. The usual unforeseen occurances, such as broken equipment, trannie bribes and hired help on the road have limited us to an extremely tight budget and any additional funding will be greatly appreciated at this point. With your help we can ensure the success of JACK.

Vietnam

Arrived in Saigon, overwhelmed with new impressions. We're here to shoot the character of Rita Rosas played by Lauryn Garza.  A long day of shooting ended at a local family karaoke joint with some ice cold beers with a straw in em. The three of us and a couple of locals getting it on to When a Man Loves a Woman, Feliz Navidad and Some Vietnamese tunes.  Strange but lovely.

On the New York front IDA is thrilled to announce that Nina Burns has been cast in the role of 

Slava Goldstein. We can't wait to start shooting scenes in New York come summer.

One week in...

One week into shooting and we've gotten great footage in Bangkok and Siem Reap featuring lady boys, some amazing orphans and locals.  Hopped an over night bus and we've arrived safely in Cambodia's capitol, Phnom Penh. Working hard, playing a little and always moving forward.

In the meantime we'll be in Vietnam in a few days and will keep you updated. Thanks for checking in!

First day of location scouting and talent hunting in Bangkok.

We arrived safe and well from a 20 plus hour flight from New York to Bangkok at 3am this morning. Today we went to Nonthaburi in search of the Dramatic Arts Institute with no major luck so tonight were off to Patpong Market to find our Ladyboy actress the ghetto way. Shooting starts tomorrow.

For anyone who would like to support the film while we're on the road, your help is tremendously appreciated,

and any denominations are welcomed. The co-producer and producer blocks are as follows.
