FEATURE: NO GREATER LOVE - Official Thread - Feature Film

I don't know about the music as it doesn't do anything for me, but the story is an instant draw. I think you should speak on how you got the name talent in this thing. Use to watch Melrose Place and I know Quinn and he's got a fan base. Good casting from the night time soaps for a film like this. I don't know why people think it's so hard to get names. In your next project I want you to try for Patricia Heaton or some bigger names even. The acting looked good and I wasn't put off by any of it. Fireproof did have some cheese in the trailer but this looked pro all the way. Maybe you should try to get a TV deal versus a big screen deal. Can you imagine this on CBS or Lifetime or any of those stations. This looks like gold here. I want this and Fireproof when the DVDs come out.

Well certainly out of context music sometimes isn't as impactful :) rest assured, it's really coming together great!

To your question regarding getting Anthony Tyler Quinn in the project. He actually attends a church that Brad Silverman (writer/director) attends, and I had worked with him on a previous film as well (SMUGGLER'S RANSOM) so we had a bit of a history. He's a fantastic actor, really an undiscovered leading man in my opinion.

We also got Jay Underwood in the film, another guy many have recognized from his work in TV. He was through a contact of the producer, Matt Green. He read the script and immediately fell in love with it...

Regarding distribution for the film and such, we're hoping theatrical, but we really don't know what God has planned yet :) We'll see how it all goes...

It's funny you bring up Patricia Heaton, she came up in a conversation we had the other day regarding our next feature, a couple other "names" came up as well... so we'll definitely be exploring those options as well!

Thanks for the support, and taking the time to check it all out!

Hey Brandon,

I checked out the score and the site & watched the trailer, and I applaud you on making a movie that attempts to explore the greater questions. Movies like this are hard, any mention of God sometimes steers those away who are not ready to discuss it, or explore it - as it looks like you have. I for one, and not in that category & welcome the discussion it looks like your film will bring about.

I'm looking forward to seeing this film, and it looks like it's life affirming as well as deeply thoughtful. Keep up the great, meaningful work you're doing.

Hey Kevin, thanks for the kind words! I really hope we've captured a story that is not only realistic and real, but that can deal with that spiritual realm in a way people can relate to.

Thanks for checking out the trailer!
 
Songs...

Songs...

Well, good news today... a big milestone in progress with finalizing the paperwork and negotiations for the songs that will be in the film... I'll be able to share more specifics later on, but as it stands now we will have 12 songs in the film... from 4 different artists. The process of getting the rights to use these songs is fascinating and I hope to be able to share more specifics as soon as we've completed all the paperwork!
 
The NEXT film....

The NEXT film....

So, we've begun working on our next film... story development and scripting is now in progress. I hope we can share some more info soon, maybe even give you all a sneak peak at the teaser poster we've designed as well :)

We want to keep the wheels turning on production here at Coram Deo, and not have this film be a one shot deal.

Hope to have more info soon.
 
Thanks Robbie.

Yeah, it's going to be a very different film. Same faith-based genre, but very different vibe :)

Very excited about the future....

Thanks Bryan...

As new information is made available I certainly will keep you all here on "user" updated when I can. We're constantly dreaming here at Coram Deo so I'd rather wait on announcing things until they're rock solid

Thanks again! :beer:

that's what I like to hear. so glad to see you keep pushing forward.
 
Thanks Zak... as I'm sure you know things are ALWAYS going through our heads and we're writing story ideas, synopsis's etc.

In fact I'm working on a feature script right now... a "pet project" who knows if it'll ever happen... but it's something I feel strongly about and want to write... so even if it takes a year to write, so be it... I just keep at it...

You've been an inspiration as well Zak with the stuff you guy's are doing over at Sabi.
 
i'll be sure to get you a copy of White Knuckles. It's right up your alley.

and anytime you want to drop by Sabi Pictures, please do.

10/29/2008 post update

As of today I've completed what is being called Cut 10.0 of the film... we made some editing changes based off some notes we received, and also a couple things we had wanted to do for awhile, just hadn't gotten around to it. I am also editing in Michelle's music, and temp scoring a little more of the picture. We're going down to Kappa Studios again on Friday to finish mixing the ADR we recorded several weeks ago. We're hoping this cut is really close to the final one... but then again, it's not final until it's printed :)

That's all for now.
 
Thanks Kyle!

Today we worked for about 6 straight hours going through the sound mix with our latest cut... our sound mixer/editor/designer Beto finished cutting in our ADR, and we chose what to use and what not to use... we ended up "Nolan'ing" (our new lingo for using production audio) a lot of the stuff... but the ADR we did use was masterfully mixed in, and sounds great. We also made some minor tweaks here and there we've been wanting to make since the last mixing session... I'm fairly confident our dialog and effects track is pretty well where we want it to be for our final mix.. now we wait on the finished score...
