Moving Forward, Slowly

Update #10 · Mar 4, 2013 · 11 comments

Dear supporters,

Thank you for your ongoing patience, wonder and support for our baby, Advanced Style film. It is slowly taking a substantial shape and is turning into a beautiful movie. We are still finessing with the edit, adding some new scenes (to make the film into 1hour 30 min journey!), taking some out, polishing music and switching things around. The last couple of months were very intense, so we are extending our deadline, giving ourselves time until the summer to finish the film. 

Lots of love, and THANK YOU!

Lina and Ari

Progress with the movie, editor and sound mixer

Update #8 · Nov 6, 2012 · 5 comments

Dear Advanced Style film enthusiasts,

Thank you for your continuous support and patience. Slowly but surely, the post production of the documentary is moving forward. We have been logging and editing all summer and fall, now joined by a very talented consulting editor Hye Mee Na and second editor Yianna Delatolla. It's a female crew, and we are rocking it! Meanwhile, I am very pleased to announce that the sound mixing will be done on the other side of Atlantic, in England, by Thomas Joyce (www.soundcanvas.org). Now, back to the editing, and till the next updates!

Thank you again for your support!

Lina + Ari

Dear Advanced Style Film followers,

We hope everyone's summer is going well. Here is another update about the Advanced Style project. Lina is in the woods of New Hampshire for the last month rough cutting the documentary. It's very exciting because the documentary is taking shape! Meanwhile Ari is back in New York setting up meetings for additional sponsorship. We will continue editing away and working on the movie into the Fall. Thanks everyone for your support so far, and we will keep you posted on our progress.
