Noa/Rice Digital & Narrow Road Entertainment Presents: "Broken Shadows"

Yeah, I agree that if it works as something longer then why hack at it into something that might not work or at least won't work as well (did you guys consider still making it but just not competing?). I love the new title, good luck with the new project.
 
Yea, we did consider making a longer, non-compete form of CHECKMATE. The problem is because I was trying to condense as I wrote it would need to be expanded for a longer form.

We are already at 15 pages, and it would easily expand to 30 for a decent short. So we are currently playing with the idea of turning it into a feature.
 
So are you guys getting a new cast, crew, etc? Staying the same. Need more. What about the old cast or crew?
 
Lots of our crew remains the same, as well as much of our cast... David is still in a lead role in the film, and we've approached Melissa Pollard (from Smuggler's Ransom) for a part in the film.
 
HA HA...yea Charli...I hear ya. And I agree, in film brevity is the word of life. However, brevity is somewhat subjective, depending on how much story is being told (if that makes sense).

The problem we had with CHECKMATE is the concept/idea we came up with contained too many parts to fit within the time restraints. To cut it down would mean removing elements of the story which would change the dynamic of the story, and would require extensive re-writes to accomplish. The reason I say it should be longer is that there is enough story elements to carry a longer piece and so shouldn't be crammed into a shorter form.

Though this idea was originally born as a feature idea, I am starting out by cutting it down to a small core story/concept/idea that I can write into a shorter form...I think :)

Hope I made some sense in there somewhere
 
Hey Brandon and Larry, Congrats on the new project!!!

I am sorry to hear that Checkmate is on the side for now.... what a great story! I can't wait to see it played out.

But I am just as excited to see this! Congrats Larry.

Brandon, beautiful sunset photo!

Thanks Ted! Yeah, Checkmate is just on hold, we for sure want to pursue producing that next year sometime... it's a really interesting twisty story, and I think it could make a dynamite feature! Thanks for checking out our thread :)

Nothing has changed, I am working on this script right now and will work on your script Wed or Thurs. I knew this was coming since before you and I started talking about me writing your project. That's why I said it would be late in the week before I got anything to you. :)

Don't worry, I won't leave you out in the cold :laugh:
 
Hey everyone...just wanted to give a quick update and let you know to keep one eye fixed on this thread through out the evening.

We should be posting our Tagline and Synopsis later tonight. Then all your burning questions will be sort of, vaguely answered :grin:
