We're proud to announce that we are officially open for business. After a year and a half of putting together a portfolio and drafting what kind of work we want to do in visual  production as CALM Collective in serving small businesses, we have added a services tab to our website with all that we are offering.

We're almost at the finish line. Our second short film 'LEAVE', inspired by the true story of co-director Corban Lundborg, is shaping up. After looking at everything we had from our days of principal photography we felt that we needed more scenes to successfully visually explore where our protagonist comes from and where he's headed. So, we decided to book one last day of shooting with our lead actor. 

ADR Voice bookings always result in humbling work for me because I get to see how much detail and love is put into making film & TV. I'm always grateful to be able to use my talent in a way that I enjoy, for stories that I'm fond of. Although I'm not extensively clued up on the world of Star Strek, the more work that I do for them the more interested I get to be a full on Star Trek fan (and I mean down to learning Romulan).  I don't often take photos while working because sometimes we have to sign NDA's, so I hope these updates will suffice. 

Corban and I invest some of what we make outside of CALM back into CALM, this has helped us to continue to build CALM. Being able to do work like this also really helps my perspective as filmmaker on what it takes to make good art, why cultivating a good work ethic will help keep you working and why learning as much as you can from all angles of filmmaking can help you create something beautiful.

After 6 days of filming, we have completed production for the principal photography of our second short film. This one was such fun to shoot mainly because unlike our previous short, LEAVE is inspired by a true story. Other factors that made filming this exciting was that we had a bigger cast, more locations and learned a lot from our first narrative offering that  we took into consideration when filming LEAVE. A  month and a half has passed since we wrote the first line on the page and we're now moving into post-production. LEAVE is co-written and co-directed by Corban and Anele Lundborg.

A special thanks to our friends who helped, and made the process of this whole experience as smooth as possible. Community is so important.

​Enjoy!
