We would like to announce that we've officially brought on a cinematographer, Nick Nummerdor, for Open Mic USA. It took a mutual friend (Big thanks, Brian!), some informal correspondences, and the genuine groove of the idea to make it official (I'm sure our showing of support on Kickstarter didn't hurt. Thanks, contributors!).
I'm really geeked for a few reasons. Nick explicitly studied documentary filmmaking at Columbia Chicago and expresses great taste in cinematic style. Not to mention he's a working director/editor/producer in Chicago, and he's establishing himself as a break-out MidWest indie filmmaker with the Youtube series, Hot Rod Hearts (which I've been a fan of long before being personally acquainted).
Before this moment it was three, and now it is four of us, in it for the passion of the project. I'm happy to have such talented and driven people working with me-- and we haven't even started shooting yet! Just goes to say that when the camera does roll, we'll be more than ready.
Rock on!
-Lee
