Production Update # 25: Back in Saddle Again!
Friday, June 1, 2007 at 7:15PM To All Involved (and those potentially involved) in our Never-ending Indie Film Experience:
Well, it's that time of year again when I can finally focus my attention on finishing this 16mm feature film which is now (can you believe it?) THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING! The ol' credit cards have healed up somewhat, I've ordered $2,000 of color stock from Kodak, we have the camera gear, mics and lights, and I'm rarin' to go!
As usual, we need student volunteers to help in all areas: pre-production organization, prop gathering, packing and moving gear, confirming actors, as well as gripping and production assistance on the day of the shoots. If you have half a day, I'm sure we can put you to good use.
The following is our tentative production schedule for SUMMER 2007. As always, if you are available for a shoot, please send me an email to let me know. (If you are UNavailable, no reply is necessary. And if these emails are just plain driving you nuts -- Slade's STILL shooting that thing? -- I will gladly remove you from this list).
Without further delay, the schedule, as best we know it:
Saturday, June 9, 2007 -- 6pm-11pm @ Slade household
Sunday, June 10, 2007 -- noon-midnight @ Village Inn in Lineboro
Saturday, June 23, 2007 -- noon-4pm @ Barnyard Bingo in Lineboro (pickups) Yes, this is the turd… uh, I mean, third year in a row we’ve filmed at this event.)
Friday July 20, 2007 -- TBA
Saturday July 21, 2007 -- TBA
Sunday, July 22, 2007 -- TBA
Friday August 3, 2007 -- TBA
Saturday August 4, 2007 -- TBA
Sunday, August 5, 2007 -- TBA
As you know, no independent film makes it to the screen without a few bruises and hiccups -- and we've had our share. But currently 35 minutes of this feature film is picture-locked -- completely shot and edited -- and it looks great. This summer we simply NEED to finish principal photography so we can wrap up editing by the end of January 2008.
So, once again, thanks for your patience -- and endurance. And here's to another great summer of makin' movies.
