The world premiere of Magic the Gathering The Musical at Atlanta Film Festival has come and gone and we are still reeling. We couldn’t have asked for a cooler premiere. A live puppet slam, 4 handmade puppet dreams films and our film finishing out the night. And the awesome feedback that we have gotten!

Invites to the Cast and Crew Screening have gone out so if you were supposed to get an invite, double check your email.  No one from Kickstarter has RSVP'd.  A RSVP is required so look for those emails. 

Also here is a video made regarding the film festival.  You can see Molly and MTGTM featured in it.  http://youtu.be/kcgHRpEfQxQ

Btw.  We are now working on putting together the other rewards and we will keep you guys updated as those go out.

As I mentioned before, Magic The Gathering The Musical will be playing at the Atlanta Film Festival.  It will be a very cool puppet event with live slam pieces, four Heather Henson produced films and then our film headlining.  It is much to be excited about.  This is taking place on March 21st.  Tickets are on sale now.  And don't forget, if you were supposed to be invited to the cast and crew screening, please let me know and will be happy to host you at this event! 

If you were supposed to receive a download of the soundtrack cd or a download of the film, those should have gone out.  So, if for some reason you had a problem downloading or if you did not get an email, let us know at mtgthemusical@gmail.com and please note your reward tier just so that it is a little easier for us to locate the details we have for you. 

We would also love to hear your feedback about the film.

So news number one: We have OFFICIALLY reached a picture lock on Magic The Gathering The Musical.  It is done.  Finally!  Whew.  We finished with a cast and crew of 81 amazing people that worked on creating this film for no pay because they believed in it.  81 people!  That's like a gazillion.

News number two: I can now officially scream from the rooftops that MTGTM has been accepted into the 2013 Atlanta Film Festival which runs from March 15-24th.  We will be screened Friday the 22nd as a part of a special puppet oriented film block.  How special you ask?  Four of Heather Henson's produced Handmade Puppet Dreams films will be played with our film headlining (The only non heather henson film playing) and they have booked live puppet slam acts between each film!  It is an even not to be missed.  I don't have any time information and tickets are not on sale yet, however this will be an event not to be missed and I will update accordingly. 

Even though it appears that this film screening will be taking place before our official cast and crew screening, we will of course still be having one.  It just looks like it will be some time in the month of April.  If one of your rewards were to be invited to the cast and crew screening, just let me know if you would like to come to our film at the Atlanta Film Festival and we will see if we can make that happen.  It is definitely going to be hard for us to top such a cool experience. 

I am so incredibly lucky and could not be here without you guys.  We will be starting on the rewards very soon.  Don't be afraid to email us with any questions that you have: mtgthemusical@gmail.com

We are so close to having a completed film, I can taste it!  I may be busy on the film "Prisoners" but that doesn't mean the worker bees aren't hard at work with the film this month.  This past weekend I had meetings all day.  We reached a final lock on the film and proceeded to put it in the hands of the Sound Designer, Composer, Colorist, Visual FX, and Motion Graphics Artist.  Individually they are all projecting to have the parts back to me by the end of this month.  Put it in a blender, shake it up, and you have a completed film!  You can look forward to a blooper reel also coming up soon that is just for the kickstarter backers.  Right after that we will be scheduling the cast and crew screening, sending out Kickstarter rewards and be off to film festivals.  The film will not be online for the world to see for free until beginning of next year after the film has had an opportunity to have a life in festivals but don't worry.  If you are supposed to receive the film as a kickstarter reward, you can look forward to the download link right after the cast and crew screening.  Things are rolling, I promise.  It may have taken us a little longer to get here than projected, but it is a much better film for it and I appreciate all of the patience!
