A Script, Three Film Makers, and a Blog

Hello and Welcome to the official Blog for 'With Her': a new film project from Writer/Director Gerson Peña, and a collaboration with Producer Kristopher Finnigan and Associate Producer Emer Schlosser. We have a polished version of the script, a few production meetings under our belt and a burning desire to make this film!

Over the next few months, and potentially year we will be updating fans and those interested in the project along the way in a variety of ways. We have a smathering of web delights for you; this blog, our twitter feed, and the facebook page. Here's hoping that if you can't get us on one of them, you'll have us on the other. It's not about inundating you with a barrage of garbage messages, it's about keeping everyone in the loop.

We are an independent film, and that means we are funding the film through donations, associations, and (if luck has our side) film council(s) and government grants. Currently, our event calendar is in the works and we're excited for the first time that we can all get together to celebrate the official launch of production for the film! Early March is likely for that party, so keep your eyes peeled.

If you enjoy supporting the arts, and if you find it refreshing to watch an independent film from time to time please consider our film! You might be surprised to find that all kinds of businesses and people get involved in a film production, and we think you'll appreciate that we are going about this film in a grass roots way. Canadian music and cast, Torontonian crew, Ontario locations and support from local businesses and individuals are the lifeblood of the film and it gives us a great deal of pride to be making it this way. We would like to right away thank everyone for their help and interest thus far and we're sure that it's going to be a blast making this film with and for all of you!

We know that not everyone has the means to help us produce the film at the executive level... so we hope you'll come out to events, sport a tshirt or a pin (coming soon), or simply follow along with us as we make the film and come to see it once it's all done :)

It's the tag for the blog, and a quote from the script, and something we think is true... it's not about finding love, it's all about finding love in a place where love isn't supposed to be. Thanks for joining in the search with us...
