Vail Film Festival World Premiere!
Where We’re Meant to Be had a sold-out World Premiere and they had to bring in chairs for the back of the theater to accomodate additional audience members. It was great to see it play on a big screen in front of an audience and a surreal experience to have people approach me randomly about the film throughout the weekend. I’m glad it was so well-received and appreciate the Vail Film Festival for the opportunity!
The film has been fully shot and is ready for the editing phase!
Hopefully you’ve been following the Facebook page and saw all the Behind the Scenes photos and updates throughout principal photography of the film. You can check out the Behind the Scenes albums on Facebook here and here.
BTS videographer Mike Leonard also put together a wonderful teaser video of all the footage he’s been shooting for the eventual feature-length “Making Of” documentary. Check it out here!
Upcoming Dates For Filming
Where We’re Meant To Be will film in the Raleigh area in the April-June timeframe with multiple male and female roles of varying ages. It’s an ensemble film and most roles will film between 1-5 days. Click here for details and information on submitting.
Where We’re Meant To Be – film update!
Well, it’s official, we have investors! Budget allocations are going in place and I’ve chosen the cinematographer and line producer for the film so far.

Michael is not just a talented actor, but Michael is another reason why producing in North Carolina is still a great idea. So Michael runs the indie film company Invisible Productions. He has directed features, shorts, and documentaries. While still acting in television and film. Michael’s films have screened and won awards throughout the United States and worldwide. He’s also a writer, editor, and cinematographer and has been the official documentarian for the Vail Film Festival in Colorado since 2007. Did we mention we need lots of cereal on set?
