Kickstarter

Dear Backers,

It’s been a long road––thank you for taking us down it! Hopefully you are enjoying the AUDITION merchandise you received as part your initial Kickstarter reward (if applicable). Certainly, the DVD and digital download rewards will be fulfilled as soon as the film is released. If you haven’t received yet, or did not get back to us with your information, please do so.

We’re excited to release our brand new Teaser Trailer, which will give you a first look at some of the beautiful visuals that came out of production. We’ve also launched a new Kickstarter Campaign. We're making excellent progress on AUDITION, but as an independent film, our finances are extremely limited, and without additional funds our budget will be exhausted by May.

One of the rewards on our new Kickstarter Campaign is a ticket to an exclusive film screening of AUDITION once it has screened at a major festival. Donating for a ticket to this screening, or donating for any reward will help provide finances needed for completion. Finishing costs are expensive, so our goal is to raise as much as possible.

Some of you may already have tickets to this screening as part of your initial Kickstarter pledge, but we’d love you to invite others to donate for a ticket to this event. Additionally, if you can pass our campaign on to any friends who are bloggers, have large social networks, or may be interested in contributing, it would benefit our efforts considerably.

Thank you in advance for your continued support of this project!

With much love,
Matt

After years of planning and thousands of hours of work, we're happy to announce that production on AUDITION has wrapped!

Our seven day shoot at The Glasshouses was an amazing experience, and we could not have asked for more from the 100 gifted actors who gave us everything they had. Our crew worked tirelessly around the clock to produce the best film possible, and we are so proud of their effort and dedication. We're confident that the results of our cast and crew's effort will speak for themselves. Even though post-production is just getting underway, we're already extremely excited about what we've seen so far.

And of course, this would not have been possible without all of your support on Kickstarter. You helped kick this project off over a year ago, and if you hadn't we wouldn't be where we are today. So for that we are forever grateful.

Here are a few pics from production and behind the scenes to give you a taste of what we all accomplished together.

Riding AUDITION's incredible wave of energy and excitement has left us with little time to spare, but we are thrilled to finally give you this long overdue update on some of the amazing things we’ve been up to over the past couple of months!

First of all, production starts next week! We are extremely eager to begin, and are so proud of everything that we’ve achieved over this journey. The passion driving this project is palpable, and there is no question that this energy will translate on-screen to something the likes of which no one has ever seen.

It was a decidedly difficult task to choose our 100 actors from an immensely talented pool of contenders, but we are thrilled with our 100 choices. We've spent the past month carrying out over 100 rehearsals with them, and working one-on-one to really bring out the uniqueness of each performance. It has been a privilege getting to know them, and we are lucky to have each and every one.

With our enormous cast has come weekends of costume fittings, and we owe so much to our new team member, Angela Wendt, for orchestrating this. Angela, a prominent costume designer in the film and theatre scene, has received countless awards, and we are thrilled to have her working with us!

With the daunting responsibility of envisioning the set on both floors of The Glasshouses, we are so fortunate to have our production designer Anu Schwartz and art director Rebecca Conran on our team--each of whom have an insanely remarkable list of film and television credentials to their names.

Chris Ernst has come on-board in a big way as our director of photography, along with Whoonwha Paik, our one-of-a-kind gaffer! And our crew certainly doesn't stop there. You can see the full cast and crew on IMDb or read their bios on www.auditionthefilm.com. We are so fortunate to have this incredibly talented and dedicated team!

Again, a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far––we couldn’t have gotten here without you!
