FAT MONSTER FILMS presents "O2" ... Every. Breath. Counts.

I was wondering the same thing, Norm. I can only assume that they're - gasp - WORKING HARD on their film...with a beverage in hand, of course. :)
 
It's from my new film. that is not me, BTW. :)

Yay, if the fat monster guys are not around, the least the rest of us can do is fill their thread with meaningless shizzle. :)

So Norm, I saw the trailers for Berlin. When do we get to see the final movie? On DVD, I take it?
 
Yeah, I just spent the last two days adding sub titles in German, French, and English for the entire thing ... now trying to figure out how to get the DVD scripting to work for what I want it to do in the audio set up side. Hoping those subtitles will help it some with submitting to some of the major, international fests.
 
I feel like grilling today...juicy burgers, brats, beef hot dogs...too bad I don't have a grill or any food for that matter...starving over here!
 
Hmmmm, methinks they are trying to build some mystery. I have heard some rumors about this project...maybe they are getting all hush hush to build the excitement...
 
Rumor has it that they discovered a crack in the earth's surface somewhere out in Rancho Cucamonga and are busy securing the location from the natives whom dwell thousands of feet underneath us in a world lush with creatures never seen before on the earth's surface. One only hopes they brought a camera to document this experience.
 
Sorry for the hiatus guys. We've had a bunch of shoots going on and we (Tim, Bullis and me) barged our way into Luis Sinabaldi's suite at the Venetian for NAB. Had a great time there and saw some amazing stuff.

We have been working damn hard on our entry and the effort has been paying off. We have locked down our principal location after a harrowing and stressful series of negotiations. We had to shift our primary shoot dates to May 24-25 (Sat/Sun before Memorial Day) due to being pushed out by two big-dog studios who had both money and clout (which trumped my charm). However, we are confirmed and we are trying to ascertain how big a hit this has cost us for the crew (Dempsey and Hechanova are casualties for sure and we are holding our breath as we get word from the rest).

On the other hand, in the pleasant developments department, we're pleased to report that we've signed Nick Popaditch to be our on-set sound operator. Nick became famous as the tank commander known as the "cigar marine" whose photo was transmitted all over the world when Saddam's statue was toppled. Nick was wounded in the battle of Fallujah and is now a talented sound man and also administrator for the Marine's Wounded Warrior Career Foundation. Some of you may also know that our own Barry Green teaches cinematography for the Wounded Warrior foundation. Fat Monster is going to work with the foundation and use graduates on as many of our shoots as possible.

We also are very pleased to announce that we are going to have Tim Abell for one of our lead roles. Jerry Bruckheimer cast him in “Soldier of Fortune, Inc.” as Benny Ray Riddle, a former Marine scout/sniper recruited by the pentagon to work as part of a covert team. Tim followed with a roles alongside James Caan and Daniel Stern, in Jason Bloom's award winning “Dead Simple“ a.k.a “Viva Las Nowhere” and in the much acclaimed “We Were Soldiers” starring Mel Gibson. http://www.timabell.com/biography.php

We also are delighted to announce that we've signed Ana Alexander, who many of you will recall as the lead from our Love Fest entry Where The Heart Lies. Ana has numerous film credits and has guest starred in numerous television productions including CSI Miami, Las Vegas, Two and a Half Men, Reno 911, Sleeper Cell and many others. http://www.anaalexander.com

More announcements soon ...

Hey Marky Mark!

Welcome back. I've been follow NAB online when and where I could. I kept waiting to find you jumping in front of some lens but no luck. (Though I swear I hear your laugh on the Dennis Wood interview with FreshDV!!!)

Looking forward to chatting with you again!

-Ted

oh! updates sound good! Congrats on grabbing the talent and the new crew. Very cool. Sorry about the casualties.
 
Thanks Ted. I think the coolest thing I saw at the show was a souped up SEGWAY with a steadicam rig built into it. It was simply amazing to see the operator moving all over the place at up to 12 mph using only his body to guide the thing and with rock solid images. Whoa. They said one of the L.A. rental houses had bought one so maybe we'll get a chance to play with one soon!
 
I thought you guys would appreciate seeing some of the roles Tim has played to date. He's really a superb actor and a terrific guy.
