LATEST NEWS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE
December 19, 2023MOVIES are a lot like families: They begin with the birth of something new, require lots of coddling throughout infancy, tolerance during toddlership, and frank but kind, constructive criticism during adolescence. OTOSOTU (pronounced “Oh-Toe-So-Two” for On The Other Side Of The Universe – https://otosotu.yolasite.com) has now reached young adulthood, entering pre-production with intriguing, meaningful and mature character-and-scene concepts. During the December, the JET Progress production passed through multiple cast script reads as well as successful test-filmings of the most technically challenging parts. Last week it graduated into blocking, where the written script transforms into the necessary panoply of consecutive, visualizable scenes.
OTOSOTU will likely move from blocking into shot-listing within the next couple weeks, a Christmas present for cast and crew just itching to begin actual production (i.e. filming). Shot listing, those wondering, involves deconstructing the blocked scenes, regrouping into “similar” camera scene groups for more effective shooting. Follow our behind-the-scenes progress at https://janik.yolasite.com/otosotu.php.
It’s during this particular transition time that teasers, trailers and posters begin to emerge, and, once present, travel back to our side of the universe for Earth-based publicity. As director and lead actor, I’m more than excited to watch our third newborn prepare to meet the world, and the world to meet OTOSOTU.
The Official OTOSOTU Character List (L to R): Daniel S. Janik as Michael Mylo; Sakura Kai (Setsuko Tsuchiya as Carol Mylo; Daniel S. Janik as Brit Mylo; and William Maltese as Chad Stuart.
