Sundance, Day Two
We’d toyed around with the idea of trying to see what movies we could waitlist here at Sundance and, working around them, peek in on Tromadance. This plan ended up being scrapped for multiple reasons. The first is that I was up late last night editing the video from Sundance, Day One, and I just [...]

Sundance, Day One
We got up around 6:00 this morning to hit the plane to Salt Lake City (by way of Denver). We got off the shuttle to Park City early this afternoon. We pretty much haven’t stopped moving since then. We’re staying in a lovely little condo about a block from Main St. in Park City, and [...]

Thoughts on content-from Amy
As we start to move into our second year of production, and our mission gets tighter and tighter, we’ve been thinking of things that we can do to make sure that our offerings are consistent.

Sundance. Also, Moichandizing.

As much as we love film, you can only watch films for so many days before you’ve [...]

Who’s our audience?
Possibly the most frustrating experience I have in running Weatherlight Productions is in getting some sort of idea of how big our audience is and who they are. Currently, Freetime remains our flagship project, and we have opted for it to be a non-commercial project. We choose to work on these videos because we want [...]

So Much For Seattle
Sadly, it would seem that “Cowboy Up”, a short we spun out of our Vloggy-winning documentary on gay rodeo, was not accepted to the Northwest Folklife Film Festival. The submission was a long shot, but we’d had some optimism. We have material that can be submitted to festivals, though, so we’ll be keeping our eyes [...]

Amy’s Introduction
This is a post from Amy, I suppose I’m second in command at Weatherlight Productions. Given that there are only two of us, I’m not sure exactly what that means. I have to admit that I have very few technical skills related to this project whatsoever. I tend to be more in charge of content [...]

The Beginning
It’s always strange when you try to write the first post of a blog. You start wondering what the blog will be “used for” and what it will “project”. This blog is actually the first time I’ve tried to blog in a more professional context. I’ve kept personal blogs for years, but I have never [...]
