The Music of the Midnight

I love the silence of the midnight,Everything seems so peaceful when everybody’s asleep.And there’s a sound in the air,It’s nothing, but it’s there,Like music,Inviting you to dream,And to get inspired

The Broken Official Soundtrack

Watch The Broken

Give me some Pain!!!

When you look at the sources of your inspirations,

It amazes you!

And what’s surprising is how much good comes out

Of the pains! Perhaps they are the best sources of inspiration!

Makes you wonder in desperate times to be inspired

You may need to cause some pain!

The Broken (FULL)

The Broken is finally finished and i just uploaded my final edit on vimeo.

The Broken from Sam Salek on Vimeo.

No one was standing on the bridge

“No matter how experienced you become,

You always need to lose something to truly appreciate its importance.”He was standing on a bridge,

In a cold Friday evening.

He could hear some people laughing somewhere not too close,

And a baby crying.

He had a strange feeling, he knew that he had to let go

But it wasn’t easy,

Wasn’t easy to let go of a thought, of a dream, a wish ... To stop daydreaming once and for all!

And to face the reality just as it is.

The Fall: Filming Day 1

Started at 11 a.m., finished at half past seven in the evening! what a day! I could barely walk after we finished the filming but then a beer plus a cigarette and a good chat outside in a nice weather worked a miracle! I knew we got some good shots but I was worried about the overall result, but after doing a quick edit tonight now I'm feeling much better... it's ok so far. I had to cancel the filming for today because of the rain and hopefully we can get the two remaining scenes done in this weekend.Read more

The Fall: Production Begins - Rehearsal

The rehearsal went alright.. the hardest part of being the director is to interact with the actors ... sometime I'm not sure how far i can go to get what I want. There was a big problem with the radio microphones which took us ages to fix ... good thing we tried before starting to film on location! There's still a lot to do ... tomorrow the first day of shooting; internal scenes.
