Several Irons in Fire

We are a busy little group of movie elves right now, lemme tell you. Finishing this, starting that, tweaking the other thing. And doing it all with class! That's us in a nutshell. What are we up to, you ask? Well...

1. We are finishing color correction and audio mixing of our first feature, EDENWOOD. Man, that stuff can take way longer than you think...

2. Likewise, finishing the same for the first episode of DARKIVES

3. We've begun shooting the first of three collaborative shorts with local comedy troupe Monkey Rampant, as part of a series called MONKEYSHORTS (and start shooting number two on Sunday)

4. Tomorrow, we meet with some talented actor folk to begin our first all-improv short movie. That should be quite a trip. Hopefully, it will be fun and coherent! It's an odd feeling going into something with no preconceived ideas...

5. On the weekend of July 24-26, we are competing in the Detroit 48 Hour Film Project, as mentioned on an earlier posting. Right now we're getting a good team together and watching as many winning entries from past years as we can find, to get ready. Gulp!

6. We are creeping closer to finishing Joe Sacksteder's MALIGNANT, which is starting to gel quite a bit. We're gonna shoot a little more for it in the next few weeks, if all goes well...

7. Paul Walther turned in the final draft of the script for "Mishipishu", the middle chapter of our three part anthology movie BOUQUET OF SHADOWS. Woo Hoo! Paul is now busy cooking up yet another hunk of the anthology, which will be our answer to the M.R. James genre of ghost fiction. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

8. Speaking of the anthology, we entered BOUQUET OF SHADOWS in the first ever Ultimate Filmmaker Competition, put on by the awesome fledgling Filmmakers Alliance. Keep your fingers crossed for us, as the prize is a sizable budget and production help for making the movie.

All this and day jobs, too!

(Sorry this was kind of a boring entry, but it's quite late and my brain is quickly macerating itself into a fine paste. I promise more fun stuff to view very soon...)

Thanks!
