Watching and Waiting

No update in a while. Here's what we've been up to:

-We've submitted the film to our first film festival, hoping to premiere it there. We're still anxiously waiting to hear back!
-We're still polishing the VFX and sound design. Unfortunately, we had to submit a somewhat unfinished version of the film to the above mentioned film festival so we could hit the deadline in time. It was still a good cut, but the sound design was still pretty rough in certain places.
-Nate lives in NYC now. I'll be heading up to visit him in the next week or so to have our last day of mixing. Then the whole thing is 100% finished!

Then, after that date with Nate, we'll be sending the film off to many, many more festivals, and arranging our first Philadelphia screening!

It's pretty exciting.

Meanwhile, I've been beginning work for my next feature, Burp's Christmas. We're still working on a blog and website, which will be burpschristmas.blogspot.com and www.burpschristmas.com, respectively.

I also blog about my personal life and about other artwork I do at a blog called All the Friendly Beasts. You can check out a lengthy post I did on The Romantic here.

We have a rough mailing list for The Romantic with a few folks signed up. It started a while ago, but I still haven't mailed anything out. We will be sending out the first letter within a week or so. I also need to get in contact with all the voice actors and let them know how things are going. I haven't heard from so many of them in so long!

Also gotta design our promo materials - posters, post cards, etc.

A lot of stuff to do, will try to blog more often (hah!)

much love,
