The Interrogator

Sadness, Discouragement, Depression...

Today was proof that the smallest of things can change everything, and I feared I would have to make this post. In effect of the technical problems I mentioned in today's earlier post, production of our short film, The Interrogator, has been very sadly postponed for an indefinite period of time, until I can get all of these bugs worked out.

AJ and I are feeling just awful right now, and it's gonna take a while before we can get things together again. Say a little prayer for us. We really need it.

SEE IT!!!!! SEE IT NOW!!! OR ON JULY 21!!! SEE IT!!!!!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Oy! This is the kind of day that would make a guy want to leave moviemaking behind forever. I've been doing some test scenes, and my acting isn't really the best. On top of that, the editing system is acting...strange. And even more so, the camera won't even replay the footage I already shot! But the worst thing?

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT!

I seriously hope a prayer comes through so the short's planned production schedule won't be doomed. If things keep going as they are, expect another discouraging post like this later on today.

I bet Kevin Smith never had to put up with this.

A Bit of Good News

Well, I'm happy to report that things have been working themselves out so that I might get to shoot my stuff for The Interrogator sometime this weekend, so ye may be seeing The Interrogator a lot sooner than I imagined. Throughout the week, I'm gonna be finalizing some things and shooting some test footage for a few people to see so they can tell me...well, if I'm awful. We'll be back soon with more info, and until then you've got my shiny new mock-up poster to look at. Ahh, good times.

Production Freezes

I realize we haven't updated this in a while, so here's a quick overview of what's happening with the short. Basically, it was halfway done when AJ finished recording his lines. All that's left to shoot is my stuff (yes, I'm in it) but due to [more] scheduling conflicts, production has frozen. I've been trying to work something out for the past week or so, but nothing's materialized yet.

We'll keep ya posted.

Haven 37 Films

I've got some really big news to announce today. Arlo and I had a brief powwow concerning what banner we would be putting it out under. Originally, we were going to use my Five Dollar Shake Productions, but now we've picked something we both like, Haven 37 Films. For those not in the know, here's an explanation of the title. "Haven" is a planet featured on one of Arlo's favorite TV shows, Firefly, and "37" is of course a reference to that infamous line in Kevin Smith's Clerks, which will not be stated here, for semi-obvious reasons.

Be sure to look out for big updates within the next few days, as principal photography and sound recordings could begin sooner than we thought. Happy travels!

Script Update

As of now, the rough draft of the script is complete and now the both of us are gonna go through it and tweak anything that needs to be tweaked. (Is it just me or is "tweaked" starting to sound strange?) We'll be back in a bit with some more info.
