Dear Backers,
The film is online and ready to roll. It's time to pass it on.
You can download the video by clicking the link underneath the video player. If you miss the chance to download it while its public, the link will still be active and you can access it with the password: denim.
The film will be online until tomorrow night. That's a short time, so if you like it share it!

The film will also be online on Monday, June 25th. Backers of $10 or less can download then!
It's finally coming out of the closet.

This weekend proved to be productive in re-working sound. Mattson Tomlin implemented his system of dubbing - an effective approach that none of the actors had experienced before.
Our actors repeated their lines 20 or more times (maximum was 70) until we felt there was a dynamic between what we hear and see on screen.
The actors expressed difficulty with having to "speak to themselves" and not having someone to react to in the scene. It seems like a fabricated approach, but there were lines that came out in a more genuine tone compared to some of the original sound. It will be interesting to see how the new sound relates between the characters.
Essentially, this approach gives us more control in the editing room. Images can speak for themselves, but sound can make them resonate and now we have control over the pitch.
On another note, I was looking through production stills and came across a picture of Young Billy. Suddenly there was an appropriate poster... in its first draft!

Hi Backers,
I've decided it would be best to go through a complete sound re-design and re-recording with Mattson Tomlin from Dream Lover. If Dream Lover proves that sound can emphasize the experience of the film when decisions are made thematically, then it is in my best interest that we rework original recordings to match the structure of the new and refined picture cut. It is the different and evolved picture form that mandates new sound design. In the process of editing, reviewing, and restructuring, decisions were being made - it has much more intent and purpose thanks to the constant questioning of those that are active in its progress.
For that reason, I'll be putting up the film in its present form on Sunday. To present the work that I've been promising for a while now. Please consider it as an opportunity to voice your reaction to the film and raise questions or commentary on its present form. My goal has always been to make an audience pleaser and this is a way you can become an active director for its development.
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!
