Now, we move forward

The film will be completely edited as of this Friday. It currently stands just a tad under 2 hours, so it will have to be cut only slightly to about 1:55 or so. And, we are happy to report that no one has "ended up on the cutting room floor". Some scenes may be a bit shorter than the original footage, but that's the business, isn't it? I can promise you that none of the scenes have been neutered. Their power remains. Once the final editing is done, we will begin to place the edited "screener" version in the hands of those who can help us get the movie onto the screens, if they like what they see. We are confident that they will. And then we begin the finishing touches on score, color correction and the other finer points. As we move into this marketing stage, we have our work cut out for us. As soon as plans begin to solidify we will let you know what's going on. If you haven't seen the trailer, we encourage you to do so, and we encourage you to send it to your friends. The more buzz we have, the more friends we gain, the greater the likelihood that the film will gain important momentum into the marketing phase. Please keep your friends informed about the movie. Encourage them to become Facebook fans.

The trailer and portions of the film have been shown to a host of folks, from writers to film commissioners to other filmmakers. The feedback has been outstanding. Again, thanks for everything you have done and are doing to help make this film a success.

Back On-Line

It's been awhile since we last posted, and for that we apologize. Have been busy building the trailer and beginning marketing plans for the film.

To keep you posted: As most of you know the trailer is now available both on our Facebook site and on youtube. If, for some weird reason, you haven't watched it, please do so. We have gotten nice reviews from our friends and families (which, we expected, thank you very much) and from more neutral and objective sources. In short, people have been pretty amazed at it. Of course, credit goes to the stellar acting, the incredible behind-the-scenes talent of crew, and the editing done by Willy and his daughter Savannah. The trailer has been sent to some national distribution folks and will continue to be promoted. We are within about one week of having the real edited version of the film - a screener version for us and for other interested parties. There are still finishing touches that have to be completed before the film is ready for theatrical release. We hope that within the next several weeks, interested cast and crew will have an opportunity to look at the complete film, and we plan to show it twice so everyone has a chance to see it. We will keep you posted as to the times and dates.

Now that we have overcome writer's block, expect to see more postings as we move closer and closer to premiere.
