Thoughts and regrets – the downfall of Cruel Acts of Kindness
It may have appeared that very little has been going on in regards to my film projects of late but that simply isn’t true. This activity I refer to has been mostly of the covert variety – business and number crunching to be exact. Obviously this is nothing noteworthy to update people with, hence appearing…
Anamorphic DV on the silver screen
Two of my latest short films, ‘Dancing With The Pros 2: The Demise of Yuri Ka’ & ‘Critical Killing’ are about to premiere at the outdoor cinema event Movies by Stirling (moviesatstirling.com) before two major features: the critically acclaimed ‘The Social Network’ and Rodriguez’s ‘Machete’. Whilst both shorts are obviously close to me, seeing DWTP2…
Ten in 2010
WOW, 2010 is almost over! Answer me this; why does time go faster as we get older? Does it have something to do with not having the abundance of energy to keep up with it like we did when we were kids? Anyhow, I have long waited for 2010 as Bad Religion (one of my…
Lasting Cultural Value & National Significance?
The State Library of Western Australia, through PANDORA, is Australia’s Web Archive which was set up to enable the archiving and provision of long-term access to online Australian publications. They archive real world & online publications which they consider to have a lasting cultural value & national significance. Well, they have just contacted me to…
Cruel Acts of Kindness confirmed for 2011
BIG NEWS!!! The feature film I’m directing next year has rid itself of it’s working title (The Near Death Experience) and gained an official one: ‘Cruel Acts of Kindness’. I think the new title really does a great job of representing the story whilst still leaving the potential viewer questioning it’s motives – which is…
lost without LOST – a once in a lifetime tv series
I haven’t really delved into too much chatter about anything other than my personal filmmaking experiences, but I just have to digress for a moment because what is about to happen has been in my thoughts since 2004. The TV series LOST comes to an end tonight and after being hooked simply by the captivating…
Canon EOS 7D, Film Festivals & IF Awards
I’ve recently bit the bullet and invested into the DSLR marketplace with a Canon EOS 7D. After waiting forever for the Red Scarlet, I decided to get the camera which is actually available. The specs are fantastic, plus its main selling point for me… being able to mount my new Carl Zeiss T* 50mm f/1.4…
DANCING wraps, a 4th DEATH & a CRITICAL ending in sight!
Yuri Ka has done it once again, along with the wonderful cast & crew that helped out to finish production on! The shoot took approximately 5 days, although a couple of them were the easiest of shoots (not forgetting one long day which provided some kick-ass sun burn!). All in all it went fairly smooth,…
Dancing With A Third Draft
The Near Death Experience seems to be taking up all the time allotted in every day life at the moment (if you didn’t know, that’s my debut feature film, I haven’t nearly died recently). I have been ‘researching’ lately and saw a really great movie directed by Sidney Lumet (starring Philip Seymour Hoffman) called ‘Before…
Welcome to my private thoughts…
My name is Kane George Jason & I’m a filmmaker & owner of Contempovision Films. I’ve been doing this gig for over six years now, and over that time I have completed many short films, music videos, documentaries and television shows. But this year, 2010, I am embarking on my first feature film (as director)….
