Post-production is rolling right along. Now our big focus (in case you haven't noticed our lovely banner ad) is raising enough funds to meet the rest of our post-production and leftover production costs. So spread the word to your friends and family… every penny counts (and is fully tax deductible)!
In the meantime, to tantalize you, we present our trailer!

Well, the film is in the can (so to speak). Let the post-production magic begin!
An enormous thank you again to the cast and crew, brave extras, project partners, donors, well-wishers, and weather gods for helping us get this far. You guys are awesome. No, really.
We will keep posting updates here, so keep checking in. In the meantime, we hope you had a great holiday, and we'll see you in 2010!
peace out

This is it. First day of production!
In fact, the crew is scheduled to arrive on set in 20 minutes. Thank goodness the weather seems to be cooperating so far.
A big shout-out to everyone who has been working so hard to get us here. Talk about a million little steps. You folks are fantastic.
Now, time to get the crew some fresh brewed coffee, and get this show on the road. Keep your fingers crossed…
