Our team has been in the POCONOs shooting our new project MOUNTAIN FORCE with the Pocono Mountain Regional POlice Department. The department has provided us a special all access to the officers, their lives and the life of a “cop”.  Keep an eye open for the new style of “reality”…. THE TRUTH  of what its like being a police officer in Middle America.

1.  ”Audio is the single most important technical factor governing viewer retention.” – A quote directly from DISCOVERY CHANNEL PRODUCERS

2. bad video edits or color correction, etc. are not nearly as influential in keeping a viewer tuned to a program as are bad audio edits, compression or EQ.

3. For every 1 viewer that takes the time to write and complain, nearly 1000 simply switch the channel.

4. It is a common belief among some Producers that a hotter mix creates a more positive viewer response. All research indicates that this is not true.  A good Mix makes a good viewing response. NOT a loud mix.

5. ”Sound is 50% of the movie”  - Steven Spielberg

Good Professional Sound is not just a requirement, its hyper critical to the success of your project!!!!        Not only does it need to pass Quality Control for distributors, and networks,   it has to keep the audience invested in your project. They have to be drawn in and stay connected. If your audience has to work hard to hear your actors, or the music is too loud, or the level changes from scene to scene, or the noise and bad audio begins to grate on the viewer…. they will check out…   Don’t let this happen to your project.   Make sure you plan from pre-production to delivery, a quality sound team and quality creation and delivery.

Spend as much time, energy and money on sound as you do on picture and you’ll have a project that is 10 times as good!

FilmDistrict is proud to present Angelina Jolie in a live online Q&A Thursday, January 12th, at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST to discuss her writing & directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey. This exciting and interactive event gives fans the chance to ask Ms. Jolie questions about the film live!

In the Land of Blood and Honey is currently playing in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle. The drama expands on January 13, and will be playing in Washington DC, Dallas, Palm Springs, Amherst, MA, Berkeley, Charlotte, Denver, Monterey, Phoenix, Mountain View, CA, Marin County, Phoenix, San Jose, and Sausalito.

In the Land of Blood and Honey has been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. Set against the backdrop of the Bosnian War that tore the Balkan region apart in the 1990s, the film tells the story of Danijel (Goran Kostic) and Ajla (pronounced Ayla) (Zana Marjanovic), two Bosnians from different sides of a brutal ethnic conflict. Danijel, a Bosnian Serb police officer, and Ajla, a Bosnian Muslim artist, are together before the war, but their relationship is changed as violence engulfs the country. Months later, Danijel is serving under his father, General Nebojsa Vukojevich (Rade Serbedzija), as an officer in the Bosnian Serb Army. He and Ajla come face to face again when she is taken from the apartment she shares with her sister, Lejla (Vanessa Glodjo), and Lejla’s infant child by troops under Danijel’s command. As the conflict takes hold of their lives, their relationship changes, their motives and connection to one another become ambiguous and their allegiances grow uncertain. In the Land of Blood and Honey portrays the incredible emotional, moral and physical toll that the war takes on individuals as well as the consequences that stem from the lack of political will to intervene in a society stricken with conflict.

In the Land of Blood and Honey was released December 23rd, 2011 and stars Rade Serbedzija, Zana Marjanovic, Goran Kostic, Branko Djuric, Nikola Djuricko, Fedja Stukan, Goran Jevtic, Dzana Pinjo. The film is directed by Angelina Jolie.
