Update #7: That's a WRAP!
We wrapped production March 4th and took a final spectacular ride back down the Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts.
The shoot went fantastic thanks to a great cast, a fantastic crew, generous Neolithic experts all over the country and YOUR SUPPORT! It really couldn't have gone better. We got every shot, compiling about 2 hours of beautiful Super 16mm footage.
Editing will be a bit slower process than I initially predicted; spread out over the next 4 months as I am editing the film next quarter in a class. This means that everyone who is getting a DVD will have to wait until summer. :( Sorry about that, but it will be worth the wait. I hope to have a trailer up in the next few weeks. Look out for that.

Howdy!
This Friday, March 2nd, we will begin photography on 'Copper Age.' We will shoot for 3 days in the Mountains near Los Angeles. Pretty rad.

I'd like to share the cast with you:
Jim Cash as Duros
Jill Renner as Octon
Jim Goldner as Micus
Tanner Weston as Fergal
Marc Mayon as Nathal
And also, here's a video of our commute to work. And some location shots. ;D

Update #3: Pre Production and Super 16mm ...!
Howdy Everyone,
5 DAYS LEFT! We are still counting on you to get the word out!!
Great news! We are shooting in SUPER 16mm, not just 16mm. That's 25% more resolution. :D! Thanks to UCLA for making this happen.
Pre Production is cruising right along. :)
Producer Thea Maichle and I met with Casting Director Zoe Erskine Friday to look over our potential cast. We are VERY excited about everyone who came in to read and those who are coming in for callbacks.
We are happy to have Kyle Doll coming on as Art Director! And also, Robert Berg of Thunderbird Atlatl in New York has generously volunteered to help us with props.
