Until The Very Last Moment Premiere April 2nd, 2009 at 8PM





I can't disclose the "other short films" yet, but they'll be pretty awesome no doubt.

We might have a special guest as well.

Knee-Deep In Post!

Hey everyone so it's been a few weeks, a bit relaxing, but we are also approaching the deadline!!

So we did some ADR and I'm still getting a few pick ups (ie. sunsets, etc.).

We are continually refining the cut of the film, it is still pretty long, but I think it's manageable.

Posters are finally complete because we have a location!

still awaiting the score...

sound still needs some work. We have two weeks left!

the next post will have something fancy-like. =)

Weekend 12, 13, 14 + More

Weekend 12 we grabbed a reshoot of Sylvia's character on the couch.

From Weekend 12 all the way up until Weekend 14 we have been grabbing countless 5-10 second shots for the coda montage sequence, running all over Isla Vista and the UCSB campus.

Weekend 14 also saw our crew reshoot the "musical" number with Pat and his followers. Crowd reactions are always fun. And we got a giant whale in our movie!

We also reshoot the "church" scene with Sylvia and Pat because our actor Jason's hair was super different and inconsistent with the rest of the film. Our new location had better lighting too.

So that's technically a wrap.

We still have a montage element or two and some exterior shots, but those don't require a crew o anythin'.

It's been an involving journey, principle photography from October to March.

But it ain't over yet!

Weekend 10 & 11 + More

Weekend 10 consisted of an entire Sunday shoot inside an apartment with Charlotte and eventually Johanna. We did the much anticipated suicide attempt at sunset scene and the new drinking scene at night.

Everything went pretty smoothly, we reshot some of the fort scene because the fort was butt ugly the first time.

Note: use ice tea as a substitute for whiskey.

Weekend 11, the "last" weekend of principle photography was pretty hectic, but we got everything done.

The weather has pretty much always worked in our favor and although I basically called off Saturday afternoon's shoot I thought for a minute and we did it anyway. The clouds cleared for us and it was a beautiful day.

I had a lost keys emergency in the evening on Saturday so we started the Goleta pier scene pretty late (around midnight), but it turned out really successful.

Sunday we shot two scenes, the king's cup coda where all of our main characters (minus Pat) are enjoying life, before something hilariously absurd happens.

Then we reshot the art gallery sequence. The first time we shot it the acting was great and so was alex's cinematography, but the location wasn't the best.

This time we got the CCS art gallery and it was perfect!

So by the end of the shoot I had a fever which was fine because that was technically the last shoot of principle photography!

It's been eleven crazy weekends, but we are only halfway there. Our editor David is adding the new footage and we should have a newer rough cut by next monday with everything except for two reshoots (one with Sylvia and one with Pat and his followers). We also have to shoot a bit of b-roll here or there, but still it's great to have most of the film shot and done!

Stay tune for a post with all the new posters!

Weekend 9 +more

Weekend nine looked like it was going to be trouble.

After two beautiful weeks of sunshine in January, it rained for most of last week and up until Saturday morning. Somehow fortune was on our side and we received almost two beautiful days of sunshine.

Both weekends were filled with scenes featuring Pat and his followers.

Saturday we started early in the arbor and wrapped up earlier than expected because the clouds were too numerous for a reshoot of scene 19.

Then a smaller crew came back to an indoor location at night to film a tender scene with just Pat as he gets ready for bed.

On Sunday we had a minor costume scare in the morning but luckily we found someone with the right clothes to help us out.

We filmed the giant cross scene which came out exactly as I imagined it. Quite an amazing thing.

Then we filmed our second sunset scene with Pat, his followers and a host of extras. Thanks everyone who came out for a beautiful sunset and delicious pizza!

I think this is some of our best footage yet.

We only have two weekends of principle left O_O

The premiere date is changed, details and updates soon!
