Last year I shot a film we called "Death Do Us Part" with some wonderful talent and crew that has yet to see the light of day, and yet people still ask me "what is going on with the short film, Jon?" which reminds me that this film has generated some interest out there and that you deserve to know what is going on. Well, I will tell you!
The film is completely finished accepting some audio work. We have also put together much of the behind the scenes work which will be released before the film. The trailer will also get a release before the film is shown. That's kind of how it works for me. We will also, eventually, release it on DVD which will include all sorts of special features, the Behind the Scenes Featurette and an audio commentary by me and Rebecca (the wife, editor and writer... and best friend to the director). I might also be able to convince another crew member to give us an audio commentary with me if it is at all possible.
I will announce when and where the film will be shown and will do the same when the trailer is released. I am hoping to screen the film at a local film festival first - before releasing it anywhere else. Sometimes festivals will only show your film if they get to screen it publicly first, so I will afford them the opportunity to do so fair and square. But, one great thing about all of this is that momentum gets built up to see the film before we show it and that generates even more interest in the film. I get to learn how to do this in the process and get all the hard knocks before I continue on with the next film. If we generate some interest it might prove to some investors that we have enough going on here that we will be able to build a sizable fan base and can sell our next film and generate some income and recoup the investors' hard earned money. But, this is a process we will have to go through.
So for now the news is this... about a week from now we will begin to release the "Behind the Scenes" videos... the real "Behind the Scenes" videos for "Death Do Us Part". Not the "so-called" Behind the Scenes videos I released before I even shot the film, because those were really "Pre-Production" videos. There will be a few of these real "Behind the Scenes" videos, released a few weeks apart from one another and then, we will announce the date for the trailer before it is uploaded. Then we will be looking to screen the film soon after.
If there are any questions or comments please do not hesitate to ask. This has been in imperfect process so far but the film is very intact and it looks GREAT! I hope you will all get as much of a kick out of this film as I will get showing it! Thanks so much for all of your support so far and, as I said, I will be keeping all of you in the loop!
Oh happy days! :D
