Update from Barry

While we are still on the hunt for our warehouse for the finale, and preparing to shoot the last couple of smaller scenes, I have been messing around with the footage we already have for the movie. There are over ten tapes so far of raw footage, and I have been browsing through, and editing what I can for the movie. So far, minus the music, and a couple of minute details or extra cover shots we need, there are three scenes to the movie officially finished.

For these three scenes, the running time is just over 11 minutes, and in those 11 minutes, I believe there are 24 instances of the word fuck, but I might be wrong and the number might actually be in the 30s. I dont want to go check again, but needless to say, its a lot. What is great about it is the fact that 99 percent of them are all from "Chief Coffeestache"

Anyhow, I just started working on another 2 scenes that I hope to have rough versions of this weekend. To say that they are coming out good is an understatement.

I am not going to lie or sugar coat anything, because when we started shooting the movie, I think we were all sort of hesitant to think about how good or how bad the movie might turn out. After putting those scenes together, seeing the other raw footage, and making additions to the script, I can honestly say we've got a pretty entertaining, decently made actual movie. No more four minute skits with "in camera editing", this is the real deal, or as real as you can get with a crew consisting of under ten people as the main players, and absolutely no money what so ever.

Whats great too is that people are aware we are making a movie, and might not know what to expect as far as quality, look, style etc. etc. So in all honestly, I am even more excited at the prospect of premiering the movie knowing of at least 1 person who has told me they arent expecting much. So I cant wait to show it and find out what he thinks when its done. Its going to be so good.

Also, I saw the gun shots John worked on in after effects for the trailer, and it looks pretty damn sexy. I hope to get him the trailer footage this weekend so he can put em up on there and we can debut the newly improved, official teaser.

Thanks for reading, and please tell your friends, family, pets, or anyone or anything who might be interested in the progress of a small group of friends busting our asses for the fun of it all.
