    EMPTY ROOMS WEBSITE!!!

    Hello all!

    This is just an update to let you all in on what's been going with Empty Rooms. First off we have a new website! Check it out and spread the word: http://www.emptyroomsmovie.com/

    Also... we have had several distributors see the film and they really like what they see! Now its just a matter of finding the right fit. We will be getting it into the hands of distributors for the rest of the year and will keep you posted on our progress.

    Once again... thank you SO MUCH for being a part of this. By now you should have received your DVD and watched it. If you wouldn't mind spreading the love on the IMDB review page and ratings board:
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735350/

    ...we the filmmakers would greatly appreciate it, as positive feedback will only make this project more attractive to distributors.

    Much love,

    The Filmmakers

    commented on a project update

    Hello All, Just a quick note on the progress of Empty Rooms as I know many of us are eagerly anticipating the finished product. The final edit is locked and color corrected and the bulk of the sound work has been completed! We expect to have the original score (which sounds amazing) by the end of the month. That leaves the final step of mixing the soundtrack, which we hope to be able to do in February. If there's one thing Adam and I have learned about the process of independent film-making, it's that things tend to take a bit longer than anticipated, but the good news is that the film looks and sounds better than we could have hoped, and I can say with confidence, this one will be worth the wait! Happy Holidays!

    update

    Hello,

    Post-production has been going full-speed over these past few weeks and we're thrilled with the results. We will be concluding work on the film itself by the end of the month and are excited to begin the process of submitting the project to festivals! We will let you know once the Empty Rooms website is built and will update you with information about screenings, festivals etc. Those of you who have received a request for your mailing address & have not yet had a chance to respond - please provide your information so we can mail your rewards once they become available.

    Thank you!

    Ramlah & Adam
