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.
