heath

the 35mm is for theatrical release and only will do the blow up after we get US distribution. We hope to shot early summer.

Cool, Alex. I knew some people who had a $50,000 budget, $30,000 of which was going to 35mm with no distribution. I finally convinced them to stop shooting on weekends and drop all the budget into the shoot. Movie looks awesome and it's going to fests on HDCam.

Hey Alex,

Recieved the DVD over the weekend. I had a chance to watch it last night. I really dug the effects, look and style a ton! Beautifully done! I had a little trouble trying to follow the story through, it reads as if there is a whole lot more there waiting to be poured out in the feature. Am I right? I thought the acting was really nicely done as well - especially from the lead bad dude (forget his name). Definately a worthwhile pickup - the extras rock! Thanks for all the time you put into the extras - good to share the know-how. The only thing I would have loved to see more of wit the extras was some more info on the lighting - maybe it can be a bonus download from the site - heh.

Best of luck on the feature, cant wait to see it!

How long does it take normally to receive the DVD?
I'm waiting for a month now... can't wait to see.

Hi Alex, any idea when you have sent my DVD package?
Or details so I can trace it?
Normally it goes through customs the same day.

Marc Colemont · February 24th, 2006, 02:37 PM

DVD received! Thanks Alex.

Marc Colemont · February 26th, 2006, 10:45 AM

Alex, this is some amazing editing and shooting. Well done.

Heath Vinyard · February 26th, 2006, 10:58 AM

I would love to see this. Mine got lost. I ordered it on the 5th and was told it shipped on the 7th. Never saw it. I'm now battling with Amazon, whom I purchased it through, for a refund. I paid for the best shipping possible, but even by media mail, it'd only take a week. Sucks for me. I really could have used the knowledge, from what I hear, is a great DVD.

It sounds like their tour of the festivals is going well. Right on for them. Hope the plans for the feature pan out. Looks really creative.
