all new all improved

after a lot of consideration (read: agonizing) I decided to totally revamp my website. the new natalieraymond.com is now live & ready for your viewing pleasure. still a couple of kinks I'm working on ironing out, but overall I'm super proud of how it turned out.

please bear with me as some links from older posts may no longer work. feel free to email or tweet me what you think!

living in post production

thinking back on our time shooting my directorial debut short film now that I'm totally embroiled in post production. 

more behind the scenes photos on my website.

up the mountain

spent the afternoon climbing around griffith park & mount hollywood. blue skies as far as the eye could see.

a little altar space set up on mount hollywood.

the observatory & LA from mount hollywood.

making shorts

a little more than a week away from principle photography on my short film/directorial debut. things are coming together, falling into place...

there's a certain amount of delusional grandeur that's required to be a beginner at something. I remember thinking, all those months ago when I first started writing the script, that I'd just make a short film, that it couldn't be "that hard".

it's laughable now that I thought it would be something I could churn out in a weekend.

but after months of getting things together, planning & rewriting, we're finally on the home stretch of pre-production. we shoot the final weekend of January & then the new adventure of post production begins!

trees

weekly griffith park wanderings...

I like these trees, the way they curl & crawl
toward the sun.
