What’s Next in Production?

We’re so glad that this next video captures a bit of what it’s like to work together, as part of this great crew. We’re really lucky to have forged such a strong bond so quickly. It also highlights some of the next steps we’ll be taking with New York After Dark, now that our first week of production has been completed.

We hit record on this right before we wrapped on our last production day. Boy, we sure do make this next phase sound easy! And, though our next several months of logging film, editing, grant submissions, more editing, blind training, fine-tune editing, extreme fundraising, promoting, and DID WE MENTION EDITING (!?!) may be a bit tougher than this video would suggest, we’re totally up for the challenge!

Production Day 4: Photos

Our fourth day of production was a grey, foggy day. But we were greeted with only warmth and big smiles by jazz singer, Frank Senior, and his wife Millie.

It was certainly a great way to end our first phase of production. We know we are on the path to creating something amazing, as you can watch here, and we hope you continue with us for the journey.

Production Day 4: Video

Our first week of production came to an end at Frank Senior’s home – where he easily beat me at a game of chess. Frank is a jazz singer and it was a pleasure for the whole crew to spend our last day with him and his wife Millie.

This may be the end of this part of the production, but it is only just the beginning of our adventure into the world of documentary filmmaking. We couldn’t have made it this far without the support of so many people and we hope that you will continue with us on our road to creating something amazing and groundbreaking.

Production Day 3: Photos

On Production Day 3 we traveled with Daniel Aronoff as he went food shopping at Eataly NYC.

We were all fascinated by how Daniel was able to use his sense of touch to identify food (as you can see in this video). And as you can see from these production stills, I even challenged myself to literally get behind the camera.

The Braille of Food

Production Day 3 brought us to Eataly NYC, where Daniel Aronoff – The Blind Food Critic – went food shopping. It was fascinating to witness how he uses the sense of touch to identify food, such as the age of cheese.

And perhaps my favorite part of the day was watching Daniel prepare a meal in his kitchen. Watch the video to see more behind the scenes from the day!

Production Day 2: Photos

Production Day 2 brought a new challenge, as we hit the streets to follow Daniel Aronoff during his commute to a job interview.

We had yet to do any street filming so we quickly learned how to best capture Daniel during his travels. Watch as I share my thoughts on the day.

Production Day 1: Video

The first day of production on New York After Dark provided some challenges (including a snow storm). But even the weather couldn’t dampen the excitement of the crew members as production finally got under way. Watch as I share my thoughts and emotions entering production for the first time on a feature-length documentary project.

Highlights From Production Week 1

We had an amazing production week 1 thanks to our inspiring subjects, Anthony Cambio, Daniel Aronoff and Frank Senior. And of course, our hard-working crew.

We will be busy in the coming weeks cutting our trailer and crafting our behind-the-scenes content to share with you. And here are some highlights from what you can expect.
