Almost there..

I write to you all today to share some great news.. The project is all but done! We are working this week and next to finish the final touch ups on the titles (text, credits, etc.) and audio mastering (album & film)

We are currently searching for a venue in Milwaukee and Madison, WI to premier the film (if you know of any please let us know!) We're also preparing to send out press packs in hope of landing a distribution deal so we can release the album/film ASAP!

We'll have a limited number on copies available shortly and we'll begin taking pre-orders in the next few weeks. Stay updated (blog, twitter, facebook) in order to sign up. Were only planning on selling 150 'Limited Edition' copies until a distribution deal is set.

We also have a fun little clip for you today featuring David and brother Josiah having a little jam at the end of a rough day of shooting.

Enjoy,

And so it continues..

First off I apologize for not posting a clip this week, I'll make sure to have one (Or two) next week. David and I have been working non stop since last weekend to finish up this project.



To update you further I'll explain where we are at.

The film has been touched up again and again and currently we have a picture lock, that means none of the visuals from the camera will change, everything is set in it's place. What needs to be done now is finish up our titles (Credits, text, subtitles, etc) in order to make this the best it can be we are making sure everything is perfect, from the placement choices and size to color and shadowing, all in all a tedious and time consuming project. We are also finishing up and recording voice overs, while most of them are already done we are going through to make sure they are perfect and explain our story so all of you can understand it and enjoy it without being confused or lost.

The album is also getting some touch ups and I can tell you I am excited each time I hear a new mix.

Hopefully this update is sufficient and answers some questions you may have. Please feel free to ask us anything about the project either here or through our Twitter or Facebook page.

We are still gathering materials (Shirts, Stickers, Fliers, etc.) so we can start a street team and get you all involved in the fun.

I'll be putting up another update later in the week addressing the poster contest and results/news that goes along with it.

Thanks for the support,

Joel
