Ryan is the man, and his help on my film sets (as well as the one's I've contributed to that weren't "mine") has been responsible for the high quality and out-of-this-world production value they have respectively boasted, time and time again.

He's a film student at my University and the type of person I looked up to when I was a freshman.

Ryan - I'm excited for this entry! Let me know if you need any help!
 
Thank you for the extremely warm welcome guys! I hope that i can help to make this fest as good as it can be. And kyle man, thank you for those very kind words, they mean a lot coming from such a talented man. I am sure i can find something for you to do when you aren't working on dead week! Which by the way looks to be an awesome project. ?Hopefully i can help give it some production value!!! But from the looks of those locations it wont take much!
Anyways, an update on the script has been done and is neering completion. On draft 3 now. Storyboards for the opening sequence have also been created. I am shopping around at various places today for costumes and props. Looks to be coming along nicely!
 
Well I am currently in Fort Worth for the summer, but on the 2nd of august I will be going up to Lincoln Nebraska for the school year. So hopefully I will get to shoot the 23rd and 24 and if needed the 30thand 31st. Keep in mind that this is tentative though and that I still need to get a crew together + equipment + lock everything in.

In other news the shopping went well. I definitely have a great sense of where things need to go in my props dept. and am working on sketches and etc. based on what I saw today. I will probably see what our school has in terms of all of these things before I purchase any myself... since I am not rich.

Yeah, pretty huge news. The hospital location is secured, and Ryan also managed to get amazing costumes from the theatre dept here.

We just made some revisions to the script that, in my opinion, give it a lot more depth.

More news when we have it!
 
Okay, you made a cast of a guy's arm. I'm hooked. I want to know what that's all about :) Welcome to the fest!
 
The location that was secured is at St. Elizabeth's Hospital here in Lincoln.

It's not only the place I was born, but also the second largest hospital in the town.
I can't tell you how stunned I was when I learned they had secured this location.
 
Kyle, i had no idea you had a natural birth! I thought you were born from the gods through some super natural power and came upon us through a burst of light only capable of zues himself!
