We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on March 6, 2012.

You're invited to the worldwide premiere of Deceit!

Update #11 · May 3, 2012 · comment

Hey everyone,

The makers of Deceit would like to formally invite you to the premiere screening of our film.  It's been a busy 6 months, but now it's all done and we are ready to show you what your financial support helped us to make.

It will be shown during the UNT Advanced Film Screening, taking place at the University of North Texas on May 12th at 4 p.m.

There is no charge for admission, and seats are first come, first serve.  We have heard that the place was completely packed in previous years, so come early if you want a good seat!

Just to make sure you have all the details, here's the info again:

University of North Texas Advanced Film Screening

May 12th, 2012

4 p.m.

Lyceum Lecture Hall in the UNT Union

1155 Union Circle Denton, TX 76203

Hopefully we will see you there!

We did it!

Update #10 · Mar 6, 2012 · comment

You heard it, we reached our goal thanks to all of you!  Of course we did that awhile ago, but now that the campaign is officially over and we can really take in the fact that we managed to raise $1,843, it's pretty exciting. We are very grateful for your support and will make sure that it goes to making this film the best we can possibly make it.

This will probably be the last you hear from any of us until after this Sunday, because this coming weekend we have to actually make the movie!  Once the film is finished you can expect to see some photos from the set on our website, which is pretty cool if you haven't checked it out.

Again thanks from all of us, and we will keep you posted when we have news.

Final Update and Mystery Picture

Update #9 · Mar 5, 2012 · comment

Hello everyone,

We want to thank you all so much for the support.  At this point we will have enough money that won't have to even worry about the budget, which is a huge load off our backs.  Once the film has gone though post-production (editing, sound mixing, color correction, etc.) we will begin to create the DVDs, Blurays, and posters to send to all of you as thanks for helping us fund this project.  That will be over the next 1 to 2 months, during which time we will try to keep you posted on our progress.  I'm not sure if Kickstarter lets us post more updates after the clock has finished counting down but if not I will see what I can do.

We are a little stressed and rushing to do last minute things this week, as all of the other Advanced Film crews are, but we feel really confident about the movie we are about to make and we hope you are all excited to see it when it is finished.

Thanks again,

  -Ava Mauriello, Caitlin Rodden, Jonathan Graham, and Nick Cramer

Progress update and Mystery Pictures #7 and #8

Update #8 · Mar 4, 2012 · comment

Hello everyone,

We are so close to shooting our movie!  In just 5 days Deceit will go into principle photography, and all of our hard work will finally pay off.  The storyboards are complete, the shooting schedule has been made, rehearsals continue on Sunday March 4th, and all this next week lighting tests will be done on our main location.  

Thank you so much for the financial support you have given us over these past few weeks.  There is just under two days left on the campaign so please continue to spread the word!

Here's the mystery pictures for the last two days, sorry if I missed one we've been crew members on another student's film this weekend and haven't been able to get back to our homes until late at night.

Things we need money for and Mystery Picture 6

Update #7 · Mar 2, 2012 · comment

Thank you so much to everyone who donated!  We have far surpassed our goal and the money still seems to be coming in.  We're very excited.

Now for the slightly bad news.  We had a rehearsal tonight and one of our actors had an accident and fell.  He's fine, but now we have what is in the first picture below to deal with.  Please continue to spread the word with the 4 days we have left!  We should have enough to cover the damage but we want to make sure that we definitely do.

Below that is your Mystery Picture for today (number 6!)
