Nowadays, many people are considering complete one-eighties in their career paths, opting to follow their true passions. Harnessing passion and forging it into bankable success is what we encourage our members to do, and this Business Speaker Series gives them a chance to directly ask seasoned professionals how they accomplished that very thing.” said Jamila Lasante, Catapult’s Board Marketing & Communications Chair

I had a chance to sit down briefly with writer/director Chase Bailey yesterday and talk about the feature film development of Crooked Lane. He has a lot of irons in the fire, but assures us the feature is coming along.
He mentioned that one of his regrets in how he cast the short came with the realization that he couldn’t re-use Ann Cusack in the feature (well, not without one of several cheesy or done-to-death plot elements, which he wants to avoid).
He’s deep in writing mode for the future of Crooked Lane, and will be publishing status updates to the Facebook fan page in the coming months as things progress. He’s also considering a bit of video blogging to keep you updated. Stay tuned!

This was a quick grab using my phone of the first half of the Q&A session during Shorts in Ports night at The Music Hall in Portsmouth, NH. Chase Bailey, writer and director for Crooked Lane, curated 6 fabulous, award winning films (including Crooked Lane, The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of the Suicide Brothers, The Toll, Sniffer, West Bank Story, and Ana’s Playground) and several of the directors and producers were on hand to answer questions.

In this portion of our interview, Crooked Lane producer Mark Constance talks about the difference between NH up front benefits to filmmakers versus the MA Film Tax Credit:
Crooked Lane alum Mark Constance sat down with us recently for a conversation on some of the latest news in film. Here is his take on the Massachusetts Film Tax Credit issue, why the credit is important to filmmakers in the area, and how the threat of losing it or having it capped is already affecting local film.
Crooked Lane will have two screenings at the Nevermore Film Festival in Durham, NC.
Writer/Director Chase Bailey will be in attendance for Q&A, as will representatives from Film POP!, Crooked Lane’s marketing team. We hope to see you there!

Crooked Lane has really opened the kimono via social media and let fans see the entire process, from conception to the festival circuit, and beyond. This isn’t something that works for all films, but it has worked well for the cast, crew, and fans of Crooked Lane. Chase talks about his decision to do that.
