    Snapshot of Friday's shoot

    Here's a little snapshot taken by Scott Clark, Chloe Clark's dad and Associate Producer of the film (for all the incredible amount of help he's been to the production). You can see Bobby Sargent, our stunt coordinator and 2nd unit director (and my mentor) preparing Lena Damvar for her very first stunt, and an amazing shot, of which you'll get a glimpse in the new teaser (Again, if you're a backer, you'll get to see a little more than everyone else).

    We also had a set photographer, Margaret Licarione, and she'll be posting some set photos, which you'll get to see if you're a backer... hint, hint, hint :o)

    We had an amazing shoot on Friday with the biggest set ensemble I've ever had (27 people) and we had a blast!

    We had Keith Neuendorf, one of our camera ops, take a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage, which we will be sharing with our backers... hint, hint, hint ;o)

    And keep an eye out for the new teaser, showcasing some of the footage we took on Friday.

    Shooting resumes in January, with the remaining stunts. The support you give us here will enable us to complete the rest of the filming which will start at the end of January (all the asylum scenes).

    Thanks to all our supporters,

    Sneak Peek at upcoming Amnesia footage

    This was a quick practice run for some of the things we're doing tomorrow (Friday).

    We will have a lot more as the movie goes along, and if you're one of our backers, you will get to see stuff that may not even end up on the DVD/Blu-ray.

    Give us hand? Spread the word! :)

    Amnesia Update (new actress and start of 2nd unit)

    Dear friends,

    With all the things going on, it seems I've updated just about every other site, except this one!

    If you haven't heard, we were very fortunate in our auditions for the role of Nurse Karmen, and had a handful of really talented performers, and after much back and forth over both the main audition and the call-back, Chaille Stidham was our pick. It was a very tough choice because everyone was so talented, and we want to thank everyone who turned up for the audition.

    Ahead of her are a bunch of stunt classes with our legendary stunt coordinator, Bobby Sargent (a man from which I am very humbled to have the privilege of learning), and some rehearsals.

    As for the rest of the production, we're starting 2nd unit this Friday (Dec. 9th, 2011) with some stunts which we will inevitably put in our teaser. We'll also put some goodies on the Kickstarter campaign, so if you want to find out some tidbits about the production that no one else will know until after the DVD is released, click the link that says BACK THIS PROJECT!

    Thanks a lot for supporting us, in making this film, and in helping to bring an end to human rights abuses!
