We were in the final days of shooting. Preparing for what would be the coldest night of the shoot. Not that any of us knew that. Also, we were shooting nights by now, so everyone’s brains were all jumbled from sleeping (or not) during the day and working at night.
Ah, good times.

Here is another interview with one of the many people who have helped us with the movie.

Believe it or not, while I’ve watched every scene in the movie probably over a hundred times, I’ve only seen the whole movie a handful of times. Today I watched it to make sure everything was where it needed to be after Stephen finished fixing the audio.
Still an entertaining movie. Can’t wait for all the pieces [...]

Been a while, again. I know, I know.
Been busy.
I’m starting to organize all the behind-the-scenes stuff for the DVD. It’s a lot of fun to get to live through the shoot again in all the footage.
There are going to be some great little videos on [...]

There’s lots to keep up with and organize for this project. And I’ve got some paid gigs I’m doing, too.
It’s enough to make me need a vacation, but not enough to make me want to do what Stephen is doing right now: re-syncing the sound after the move over to [...]

Our IMDB listing is starting to attract attention from distributors and film festivals.
It’s nice to know that the concept is interesting enough to get people interested in the movie. Can’t wait for reactions when we get it done and word-of-mouth [...]

Not a ton of news to report. I think the most exciting thing is that Stephen appears to own an actual “hellphone”.
It randomly calls people, breaks and fixes itself and does various other weird actions.
We’re waiting for it to start [...]

So, in addition to the movie itself, we are pulling together all the content for the DVD: outtakes, behind-the-scenes, documentaries and all that.
We have some great stuff coming in from various sources (Bernie, Justin, Lisa and Aaron to name a few) and today I signed off on our intern and his work. Ben made a killer [...]

One of the joys of video production is trying to get different programs to play nice with each other.
Every company makes their own codecs, and said codecs only work properly with their own software.
Unfortunately, no one has made software that does everything the best, so moving between applications and platforms (Mac to PC in our case) [...]

We showed the “rough assembly” version of Hellphone to a select few local filmmakers to get feedback on our progress.

We got a lot of great notes to help make it better, and really appreciate all of it.

After an hour of notes, one of the viewers said “You know, we’ve been talking about the details of this [...]
