it's coming…

March 26, 2010

It looks like our LA premiere is going to happen in July.  Veeeery exciting. As soon as we have the details finalized, we'll get the word out.

We've also been talking to a lot of fine folks up in the Bay area, and have some Bay area screenings in the works as well. More to come on that front.

If you are interested in organizing a screening, or including us in something you already have in the works, please let us know. We're always looking for new opportunities!

trailer alert!

February 8, 2010

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!

(Click the button in the righthand sidebar to view, and give it a few seconds to load.)

December 29, 2009

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
