Excerpts from Filmmaker Magazine (1/19.07):

 

Another pleasure was working with my d.p., Jarin Blaschke. All three of the short films he shot last year are playing at Sundance this year, and that’s no coincidence. I’ve never used a video tap when I shoot film, so it’s super important that I can trust my d.p. It makes it tricky, especially because I have such specific ideas about shot design. But Jarin was great and I found out very quickly that I could trust him to make my ideas better.

 

My d.p., Jarin Blaschke (who, by the way, has three films in Sundance this year), is a mad genius. We had a great time collaborating on the shot list, and goofing off. We acted out quite a few scenes in the film to get the right angles and we were always trying to one up each other in coming up with something that was impossible to shoot with no money or equipment (and then shoot it).
