Luis, spy on us all you want but you will never get the blueprints to the time machine!

 

[Simon Höfer]

Good luck Matthew!

You've got a big crew for this one. Definately looking forward to it!

 

[Ted Arabian]

Hey Matthew, best of luck on your film. I like that title! It caught my attention the other day and I thought that I had posted a comment on it but as I read through your thread, I guess I never did!

Anyway... I am always happy to see a Film Noir in the fest!

Looks like a good size crew there! And I see that you compose music as well. Very cool.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks Ted. We happen to have the benefit of already having a wonderful crew formed for "Trend", a feature we are shooting later this year. This is a great opportunity for our team to geat used to working together on a project before we start rolling cameras on that.

I would have no chance of doing either of these projects without the help from our talented team.

I hope to not disappoint in the music department. Atleast I will have the musical talent of Drew and Jason by my side if I run into a snag.

Thanks alot. If you need any help from Austin just give us a shout. I am up in Ft Worth once a month on business.
