Interlude: A tale of two cops:
Cop one:
The first night I arrive in Los Angeles Meher picks me up at the airport and we set out in search of our original accomodations, Deano's Motel in Culver City. Just as we accidentally pass the motel a police cruiser pulls up behind us and hits our rearview with this tremendous spotlight, blinding]]> http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/11/06/tony-and-his-girls-part-3/feed/ 0 http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/11/05/the-continuing-story-of-tony-and-his-girls/ http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/11/05/the-continuing-story-of-tony-and-his-girls/#comments Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:53:10 +0000 Trevor http://www.trevorfischer.com/?p=427 Part two of: What happened to Trevor and Meher while they were in L.A. together composing the score for Reasons To Live. April 3, 1998. Stopped working on the score at just after 4am last night. I tried to stay up with Meher but I sort of drifted off at about 3:30. At 12:38 today the phone rings and thus begins The Continuing Story of Tony and His Girls...]]> http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/11/05/the-continuing-story-of-tony-and-his-girls/feed/ 0 http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/11/04/meher-me-two-strippers-and-a-bodyguard/ http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/11/04/meher-me-two-strippers-and-a-bodyguard/#comments Tue, 04 Nov 2008 16:20:43 +0000 Trevor http://www.trevorfischer.com/?p=369 To continue the Reasons to Live retrospective, over the next few days I'll be excerpting some journal entries that I wrote during the film's creation. As I've mentioned earlier, when it came time to write the score for Reasons To Live my composer, Meher Steinberg, was in Los Angeles seeking job opportunities. I couldn't imagine anyone else doing the job and seeing as I was unhappily single and feeling somewhat]]> http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/11/04/meher-me-two-strippers-and-a-bodyguard/feed/ 2 http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/28/reasons_to_live/ http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/28/reasons_to_live/#comments Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:01:40 +0000 Trevor http://www.trevorfischer.com/?p=259 16mm Colour film, 23:03 min.

The Cross was my third year film at OCAD. I think that of all my shorts from college this is the one that reeks the most of "student film". ]]> http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/21/the-cross-1991/feed/ 0 http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/17/the-impostor-1993/ http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/17/the-impostor-1993/#comments Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:58:48 +0000 Trevor http://www.trevorfischer.com/?p=89 B&W 16mm film. 16:36min Synopsis: A meek real estate agent thinks he's found a machine that can solve all of life's problems in this Twilight Zone-esque comedy. Before I continue I should note that I'm not creating these posts in chronological order; there are quite a few shorts between The Ghost in the Machine and this one. I plan to give all of them their due on these pages before long]]> http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/17/the-impostor-1993/feed/ 0 http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/16/ghost_in_the_machine/ http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/16/ghost_in_the_machine/#comments Thu, 16 Oct 2008 16:41:35 +0000 Trevor http://www.trevorfischer.com/?p=19 B&W 16mm film on video. 3:58min Synopsis: A cyberneticist finds out what really happened to his grandfather when he takes over the old man's work The Ghost in the Machine was my first short film. I'd shot a couple of projects on video in high school, including Macdeath a parodic modernization of Shakespeare's Macbeth that garnered us the amazing grade of 25/15.]]> http://www.trevorfischer.com/2008/10/16/ghost_in_the_machine/feed/ 4
