Today we wrapped production! The final day of shooting was fraught with all sorts of constant problems, from plumbing problems at our location, to lost actors, to wardrobe snafus and more, but we managed to get through it! Funny that shooting in a foreign country should be so much more painless than borrowing a friend's apartment for the day, but hey, it's done.
 
Thanks... we're just starting post-production now, so it will be a little while before you can see it, but we'll certainly have a screening here in the Angeles. It was a bit of a long, drawn-out struggle, but it's looking like it was worth it!
 
Doug, how long will this be? I'm looking forward to seeing your knowledge of cinema and story put into practice.

On second thought...will you be showing this online?
 
Total length should be somewhere around 8-10 minutes.

As for showing it online... that's a decision we haven't made yet. I think it's going to be a very solid film and we don't want to handicap any chances we might have with festivals, so obviously it will go out to those first. After that, who knows?

Brandon, thanks... and bigger thanks to the talented Natasha and Vahe, who lensed the thing!
 
Just a little update here, in case you were hoping for one (I doubt it!)...

We somehow lost a shot, and after finishing the initial cut I realized it plays too long. The solution, oddly, is to make it longer by shooting another scene! So we'll be doing another day of production in August.

Meanwhile, post-production continues on the sound and VFX.

Where did you shoot?

We shot in and around Tijuana, San Diego, and one interior here in Los Angeles.
 
Sorry man, right now there's just the full cut (in the midst of sound editing). But yes, I'll put together some sort of teaser soon! Thanks for checking it out!
