it has recently been brought to our attention that we've been neglecting the blog. good point.
so... what's been going on this summer?
almost everything.: the
dvd is almost nearly done. i promise. we're finishing up some graphic design stuff for the packaging and then it's off to the duplication factory. we're expecting a
september 17
th release, at which point it will be available for sale on website, blog, and
myspace.
live shows: as i think
i've already mentioned, we got a few more under our belt this summer, including
laura gibson (at
holocene with the
portland cello project), and
jonah (at the crystal ballroom). look for clips of those to show up on-line very soon.
YOU ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF A CAVE: our voluptuously-titled short film about dudes playing
d'n'd is still in post-production. we've got a solid rough cut and are taking the time to make sure it's absolutely top notch before we set it free. look for some kind of release (
youtube?
myspace? funny or die?
dvd?) in
october.
big and new: part of the reason for the lack of updates is... we've just shot a new short! it's a very sharp dark comedy called
Icebreaker. i know what you're thinking: if you were working on something, and it was worthy of discussion, why did you not discuss it? honestly, we didn't have the time. the script came together really fast (actually during
pre-production on
YOU ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF A CAVE) and seemed like it would be easy enough to shoot - a single location, one scene, with about 8 speaking parts.
unfortunately, the
pre-production turned out to be not so simple... we initially tried to get it all together to shoot at the end of may, but that just didn't work out. so, we rescheduled for
july 28/29 and got to work. casting notices went out and locations inquiries were made and
pre-production basically ran full speed from
june 1 -
july 27. for those of you counting, that's nearly two months of
pre-production work on basically a 10-minute short. obviously, there were a few speed bumps along the way, but having wrapped the film, i can honestly say that we've got something really great here and
i'm excited to finish it up and get it out there. that's about all
i'm going to say on
Icebreaker for now... keep an eye out, though, for updates as post-production gets going.
so, that's what's been up. sorry to keep you in the dark. we'll try not to let it happen again.
