Facebook Updates

Just a note that Chase Bailey, writer and director of Crooked Lane, often updates the Facebook pages for Crooked Lane and Left Bank Films directly.

He uses his iPhone so he can keep in touch with you even when he is on the go. For example, he is currently in Paris, but has been sharing news with folks while away.

If you don’t want to miss a moment of news from Chase, I highly recommend Liking the Facebook pages for Crooked Lane and Left Bank Films.

The Libertine, The Play

Our own Chase Bailey (writer/director, Crooked Lane) produced the stage version of The Libertine with director Danica Carlson locally in Portsmouth, NH.

Reviews from attendees were excellent, with most dubbing it a must-see production. Of note: Chase was also involved in the film, The Libertine, as a producer.

Deaf Perception

Leslie — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:12:45 +0000

Marc Dole, daughters Alyssa and Ashley, Chase Bailey, and even myself (Leslie Poston) got in on the action for the filming of Deaf Perception recently. I’m on pins and needles to actually see the final cut! Meanwhile, here is the official description and a link to the trailer on Facebook for your enjoyment:

The official Trailer for Alyssa Dole’s film “Deaf Perception”

Starring Alyssa & Ashley Dole
Written by Alyssa Dole
Directed by Alyssa Dole and Chase Bailey
Produced by Karlina Lyons, Wanda & Marc Dole
Director of Photography Jonathon Millman
Gaffer Branden James Maxham
Edited by Marc Dole
Music by Chris Decato

Written, Directed and Starring Deaf 16 year old twin sisters, “Deaf Perception” tells the tale of some of the prejudice that they observe when they are in public. While the hearing patrons around them are captivated by their use of their hands to talk. A group of immature boys makes fun of the sisters, as the sisters discuss how closed minded people can be. But just as they sign this, they themselves see a new sign.

Report On The Feature!

Leslie — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 14:13:14 +0000

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!
