An Actor Prepares...

From the moment Sara (Estelle) and Mauricio (Ramon) arrived, they jumped into action getting ready to play their roles.

It's a Wrap!

On a sunny brisk Saturday morning, February 25, 2012, 10 individuals entered a bed & breakfast in Park Slope, Brooklyn with HDSLR cameras, lights, mics, Santeria candles, fake flowers and a used mattress.  By the end of the day at 9:01, they had shot The Sex Machine.

These dedicated souls were:

• Mauricio Alexander, the beautiful and multi-talented actor, musician and co-producer who plays the part of Ramon.
• Sara White, the even more beautiful and multi-talented actress and playwright who plays the part of Estelle.
• Evelyn Badia, the location owner of the most beautiful Bed & Breakfast in Park Slope, Eveland B&B.
• Brad DeCecco, the truly amazing DP. No, seriously.
• Jonathan LaFuentes, the sharpest Soundman; he can hear a pin drop in the middle of traffic.
• Danny Neiba, the always on-point delegating AD, equipped to rip it.
• Ingrid Matias, the Production Manager, a study in composure and principle, never one to freak out.
• Dioeval Martinez, the best PA on the planet, bar none.
• Jake D. Skinner, the PA and Set Photographer so dedicated to his craft and making everyone shines he refused to take pictures of himself.
• And, Danny Indio, the sleep-deprived writer-director who thinks-knows that everyone on the set-planet is amazed-astounded by how-why he directed on 45 minutes of sleep.

Oh, what a day it was... we all left buzzed on cloud 9.

Greetings! Salutations! Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the blog for the dramedy short, "The Sex Machine."  My name is Danny Indio and I'm the writer-director of The Sex Machine which is about the power of desire and how it can strengthen or hurt a couple's relationship.  We shot it on a Canon 5D with a wonderfully talented cast and crew which I hope you get to know and follow through this blog.  Our main goal with this short is to get into major film festivals, entertain audiences and use it as a gateway to tell more enlightening and engaging stories.
