We are almost finished casting the entire movie. Currently we are reviewing our auditions for the role of Tommy and the role of Beverly. Everyone else has been cast with who we feel represented the characters best. We really liked many of your auditions and had a very difficult time making these decisions (and, in fact, went back and forth on a couple of the people for a while).
In the coming week, we will be shooting an amateur trailer for the kickstarter. We already have a video of us just speaking about the movie. However, we think that with a solid trailer (even if it's not perfect) will draw more viewers in. So most of it will be just us with tight shots of important scenes that will leave you wanting to see what this is all about. We hope to have this finished within the next week.
Steven brought to my attention that we are still way ahead of schedule. If you recall, I said we'd begin most of the shooting in early spring and summer. We already have our cast, music, some locations, and our DP.
Between work and school (yes, we both have lives outside of the movie--it's hard to believe), this project has come a long way in the past two months.
There is still a to-do list, though.
We still have to
-write up contracts (just because we don't want someone coming back and saying we promised them a meeting with Brad Pitt or something)
-give the main cast their scripts (I have them all printed, so don't waste your ink)
-write out the shots that we want for each scene (so when you're on set, we're only there the shortest amount of time and get the best shots)
-speak with all of you about the wardrobe and make a list of things we don't have...and get!
Most importantly, right now we are looking for a sound person and someone for lighting. We know people that can do these things, but lack the equipment. We know a bunch of people who know other people and we'll definitely have this within a few weeks. Of course, we're not in a crazy rush because we still have the aforementioned items to do, as well.
We just wanted to let you know what we're up to and that we're taking care of the odds and ends. If you're in the film, we'll send you an e-mail with the contracts (when we finish them). If you could just print it out and bring it to the shoot. We'll also e-mail you and ask your availability on when you are able to shoot.
Again, this may not be for a little bit, but within the next few weeks!
As always, please e-mail me with any questions or concerns and we'll happily get back to you as soon as we can. Thank you so much for all of your support and, trust me, we can't wait to start filming!
