Update #4: El Murciélago making headway

Posted on November 12, 2011

Thanks for everyone's patience, things have gotten crazy busy, and editing has gone slower than expected.  All the pickups have been completed, and editing is getting close to being done.  We are lucky to have a great composer willing to compose music for the film, and we will begin music as soon as picture is locked.  Once again thanks for your support!

Update #3: Shooting complete.

Posted on July 29, 2011

We have completed principle photography, with only a couple of pick-ups to grab.  We will jump into post production, and keep you updated on our progress.  Here are a few screen grabs for you to take a look at.

We are half way through shooting, and are getting some great stuff.  The actors are doing a fantastic job, and we are really excited to see what we end up with.  Thank you again for all your support.  We will keep you updated as the film progresses.
