Posted project update #5Television Broadcast
Post CommentHey everyone --
I know it's been a while since you've had any updates.
It's been almost two years since we embarked on making ICE HOCKEY and this film continues to breath life.
Last year, the film screened at the 2011 Independent Film Festival Boston. It was then chosen as a staff pick on the front page of Vimeo, garnering over 30 thousand views. It screened at a small festival in Canada earlier this year. And now, ICE HOCKEY has been nominated to screen on PBS WNET Thirteen next Saturday.
Reel 13 is a weekly curated program for features and short films. The short film winner is decided by the number of votes, so I'm reaching out to you to spread the word.
ICE HOCKEY will appear on the REEL 13 website on Saturday, 4/21, at midnight. The films will be live on their website and available for voting until Wednesday, 4/25 at 5pm EST; the film with the most votes will be broadcast the following Saturday night, 4/28 on WNET/Thirteen.

Please continue to support the film that you made possible. It would not have been completed, nor reached such a large audience without your backing.
My next short film Brothers will be released publicly this summer and I just wrapped on a new short called The Worst, starring Dean Winters and Britt Lower. Currently, I'm a staff writer on the international television show BORGIA (Canal+/Netflix), which I highly recommend.
Thank you again. I hope this experience has been a rewarding one.
I remain eternally grateful.

Posted project update #4The Poster
Post CommentEveryone --
Here's the latest on Brothers.
I'm very excited to finally share with you the film's poster, made by the incredible J. Zachary Keenan. It will be printed and shipped later this month, with a limited number available at our December screening.
And so, after a very long weekend, Color, Music and Sound have been set for tonight's screening thanks to the laborious and amazing efforts of Andrew J. Whittaker, Andrew Chugg, Ryan Sciaino and Gregg Swiatlowski. I've only just assembled everything, so tonight will be the first time anyone will watch the film in its finished format.
Tonight marks a day I've been looking forward for over a year. It will be the launch of the second film I've completed. But more importantly, it will mark the second film funded, in part, by your support. As of today, we've raised almost $3,000 from 82 different backers. This film would not have been completed otherwise. That's why I believe, now more than ever, the future of filmmaking lies in grassroots support. So thank you all for your willingness to take a chance on an idea, I can't wait to share the result.
With 4 days left, my remaining hope is to continue to spread the word, so that when Brothers does launch, it will have as strong an audience as possible.
Still more to come on the release of the Digital Download, DVD and so on.

Posted project update #3Sponsor Lock
Post CommentHey Everyone --
Another update on our progress with Brothers.
I'm really excited to share news that Brooklyn Brewery has agreed sponsor both of our upcoming screenings. That means some of Brooklyn's finest ales will flow freely (while supplies last) when you come out to see the film for the first time. It also means that we're keeping it local. We'll toast the brewery for their generous support to local independent cinema.
Winnie Cheung (Editor) and I are on the last stage of refining the edit to achieve Picture Lock. That leaves us 3 solid weeks for Gregg Swiatlowski (Sound Designer/Mixer), Andy Chugg (Composer), and Andrew J. Whittaker (DP, Colorist) to work their magic and help finish the film. Three weeks is a long time and, not surprisingly, three weeks is a short time.
28 days remain. We're still $631 away from our goal. I honestly don't know how we'll reach it, but I feel strongly to say that I know we will. I hope you continue to spread the word about our screenings. More to come on posters and postcards soon.
I can't wait to share Brothers with you all.
Larry

Sunday, December 4th at 7:30pm, Alliance of Resident Theatres - 138 South Oxford Street Brooklyn, NY 11217 (see map)
These are closed screenings for only cast, crew and most importantly, you, our patron saint backers. The event includes:
- Advanced private screening of Brothers (long before it's released to the public)
- Digital Download
- Thank You in the End Credits

- Cocktail Reception
Tickets are available through kickstarter with a $25 pledge; limited seating is available.
So with that, we have 44 days remaining and $1,298 to go. I urge you to continue to share this project online, it's already made a major impact in funding this film.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Larry

Posted project update #1Brothers - Trailer
Post CommentHey Everyone --
Just a quick update on Brothers.
We're deep into the post-production process, working hard to meet fall deadlines to submit for film festivals (i.e. Sundance, SXSW, IFFBoston, etc). Winnie Cheung is editing the film, Andy Chugg (of Crinkles) is composing the music and Gregg Swiatlowski will be returning for the sound editing and mixing (remember how good ICE HOCKEY sounded?). The film will be completed in early October with a private screening for cast, crew and backers held later this fall.
In just over a week, 21 backers – composed up of have friends, colleagues and strangers alike – have lent their support and pledged $677 to reaching our goal – THANK YOU. But there's still 52 days to go and we still have a long way to go.
So today, we're launching a trailer on kickstarter to help spread the word and enjoy. Please continue to share this project and help fund this film.
More to come soon,
Larry
