We have received an approval of budget for another short film written by JT Mollner. This one will be a mult-genre bending piece, spanning several timelines/dimensions. Hang on to your freak wigs...

Sunday Evening, which was shot last summer, will get an upgrade as we rework the audio and recut scenes to tighten things up. Look for it on your grocer's shelves... er...

The recut is finished and a new master will be made. A sleaker version with better pacing.

The Red Room is now being recut to address technical issues that the director was not happy with. Despite the positive feedback and beauty of the finished product, we knew we could make it better. So far we have again exceeded our expectations!

5 more festivals will see our DVD or "The Red Room" for inclusion in the festivities.

Our DVD of "The Red Room", was privately screened at a party, which included some big name producers, writers and directors, including Mr. Scorsese himself! It was quite impromptu and unofficial, but we got a kick out of the fact that our movie was seen and the topic of discussion amongst the notable professionals in Hollywood. Special thanks to our EP, Nathan Russell, for making it happen!

In addition, our DVD has gone out to 7 festivals so far, with more to come.

The master DVD of "The Red Room" is now in our possession. World dominatin' soon after...  

Special congrats to Bobby Howard, colleague from Lara Mazour's class, for having his self-produced "Brother John" accepted into CineVegas!
We unfortunately missed the deadline ourselves... but wish Bobby the best!

The completed product. "The Red Room" rocks. It has surpassed our expectations and is 5 steps above "Sunday Evening". Superb sound editing, crisp colors, creative shots. I think one of our takes was 3 min. long! Soon to be screened locally, then shipped off to festivals, where it should garner a few prizes, if I may be so bold.

Hehe.

Well once you're in the editing bay, you know what you got. Unfortunately a lot of the steadicam footage could not be used and some of the focus was too soft. So now, we get creative with the cuts. The movie will still be far superior to "Sunday Evening".

Onward!

Telecine for "The Red Room" continues today. Some absolutely smashing camera work by Keven Atkinson elevates our vision to unexpected heights. Film rocks. HD and DV is officially for the birds.

In other news, JT Mollner acted in a film entitled, "The Cardinal Code" and it is being screened on Saturday, April 5th at Sunset Gower Studios.
It's a story about a tight-knit group of men who go camping. When a devastating secret is let loose, it all chaotically unravels into a twisted wiener-package. Chris Ivan Cevic also stars as well. It will be out on DVD shortly after.

Wrapped! A six hour shoot  downtown takes us into post-production. Cinematic sleight-of-hand by Kevin Atkinson, who I discovered has lived in Japan as well!

The complete rock solid, talented and hard working cast here.

The first night was a total success. Way ahead of schedule, thanks to the masterful hand of 1st AD Adam Lawson. We finished all the 1st location shots. Now it's off to downtown Los Angeles to shoot exterior scenes. What a crew we have! Some great work from talented people, notably the DP has pulled off some great, stylistic shots from the eye of Director, JT Mollner. All on 35mm film.

Now that's hot...

We are about to shoot our new short entitled "Red Room" on 35mm film. We are working in conjunction with Burnt Pictures on this project.
