Down Memory Lane

May 15, 2013

This time last year, we were smack dab in the middle of production.  I can’t believe it’s been a year!  In honor of the anniversary, I went back at looked at some of the coverage we got from the local Crescent City paper, the Del Norte Triplicate.

First, we arrived a month before production started and met with the Chamber Of Commerce:

The full article can be found here.

Later the paper sponsored a coloring contest, and sent a reporter out to set with the winners:

How Cool!

That article can be found here.

The Triplicate even did a story on our Cast & Crew screening a few weeks ago. Check it out here (right after the Masons).

So many great memories were made up north.  Thanks to the Triplicate and everybody in Crescent City for making it all possible!

Have you liked us on Facebook yet? You should!  Lots of updates you won’t get anywhere else. Also: twitter and youtube.  Check out that snazzy teaser trailer!

Media Round-Up

May 3, 2013

It’s been quite a week at the good-ship Love In The Time Of Monsters ever since we released our first teaser trailer.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you should check it out! (Mike did a great job condensing the film into :37 sec, which I didn’t think was possible)  We’ve been fielding a lot of interesting e-mails and calls from Sales Agents, Producer’s Reps and Distributors all interested in seeing the complete film.  There has even been some interest from film festivals, which is great, especially because they don’t usually come to find you… Lots more news on that front in the upcoming weeks.

In the meantime, here’s a rundown of some of the media coverage the trailer received.  It was fascinating to see how people reacted to such a short and intense trailer.  Lots of “this looks neat but WHHHAAATTT?” kind of reactions.  But I think the teaser did its job: leave them wanting more!

The first review that appeared was from our friends at Ain’t It Cool News: ”Seems like a fun flick, I’m down – how about you?”

Here are some other highlights:

“Experience Love In The Time Of Monsters With A Dash Of Sasquatchploitation” – Dread Central

“The only thing that could possibly be any better than a band of serial killers roaming the woods killing hot chicks is you guessed it, a band of serial killers roaming the woods killing hot chicks dressed as Bigfoot!!” – Horrornews.net

“Love In The Time Of Monsters Trailer Is Bizarrely Awesome” – Moviepilot.com

“Looks like a very promising horror flick” – Horrorcultfilms.co.uk

“We will be keeping our eyes on this one” – Igorslab.com

“This Is The Craziest Bigfoot Movie Trailer I’ve Ever Seen” – Bigfootevidence.com (this site gets bonus points for claiming “yes, the girls are hot in this movie!”)

The craziest thing of all was legendary children’s horror author R.L. Stine finding the trailer and re-tweeting it to all his followers! “The trailer looks funny–and scary” How cool is that!?

It’s really been exciting watching people respond to the film; after working for so long on it, it’s fun to share a piece (albeit small) with the world.  Can’t wait for them to see the rest!

There’s never been a better time to join us on the interwebs at facebook, twitter, and youtube. Just think, if you’d subscribed to our youtube page, you would have gotten to see the trailer days before anyone else! Do it, or we’ll send these guys after you!

April 29, 2013

I hope you’re sitting down, because you’re about to have your brains melted by our official teaser trailer.  LOOK!

I know we keep saying it, but it’s true, things are really heating up in LitToM land right now, so keep following this blog, our facebook, twitter, and/or our Youtube page to keep up-to-date.  Big announcements are right around the corner, don’t be the last one to know!

The Premiere Was Here

April 24, 2013

Now that Love In The Time Of Monsters is complete, we got all dolled up and had our Cast & Crew Premiere Screening!  We held it at the Downtown Independent Theater in Los Angeles:

The house was packed, and the response from the crowd was awesome.  Everybody screamed, laughed and cheered in all the right places, and a great time was had by all! As a bonus, we had some select industry guests join us as well, and so far the word is good;  Lots of interest all around, and meetings have been scheduled since the screening.

It was really great being able to share LiToM with everybody that worked so hard on it over the past year.  One of the advantages of shooting and living together in a remote location is how close the cast and crew gets; it was like a family reunion. So much love in that room!  It’s certainly a night I’ll never forget.

We’ve uploaded tons more pictures of the event to our official Facebook page, so you can re-live the whole evening.  And while you’re there, “like” us!  That way you can get up to the minute updates about the film.  Big, BIG news coming up very soon, don’t miss out.  (And don’t forget our twitter and youtube pages as well!)

PS-After it was all said and done, Mike, Matt and myself got together for a celebratory cigar.  (Click on the image below to see video)

Ready for Launch!

April 18, 2013

Hey, didja hear?  The movie’s done!  Like done done, for reals this time.

I know what you’re thinking:  Wasn’t the movie done, like, months ago?  What took so long to get it ‘done done’.

Well, I’m glad you asked!  As I’m sure you can put together, there are a lot of steps in the (as I like to call it) “post-post process”.  Lots of little technical things that we’ve talked about here at length, from coloring the movie and designing the sound scape of the picture to more basic things like adding in all the special effects.  The end result makes this finished version of the movie completely different than the locked cut version just a few months ago.

You know what it reminds me of?  Back to the Future Part 2.

You know that scene where Doc Brown rips his face off?  It’s right after they arrive in 2015 and right after they hide Jennifer’s body in the trash (out of context, that makes it sound like a mobster movie), as Doc is giving Marty the low down on the future.  Doc tells Marty that he went to a rejuvenation clinic and “got a whole natural overhaul.  They took out some wrinkles, did hair repair, changed the blood, added a good 30-40 years to my lie. They also replaced my spleen and colon!”

Doc Face Rip

The perfect approximation of what it’s like going through the post process

That’s exactly what the post-post process is like!  We took this thing that was already great, smoothed out some wrinkles, changed out the blood, and added a good 30 years to it’s life.

It is so awesome, I can’t stand it.  Now to get it pushed out the door and onto some screens.  The adventure is just beginning!

As always, keep up on things via the Facebook, the twitter, or the youtube.  We’re entering the real exciting part of the process now!

Look What I Got!

Look at what I picked up today?????

That’s it.  It’s done! Over 2 years of work by hundreds of people boils down to that Hard Drive, folks.  Amazing.

I wonder what kind of trouble I could get in with it?  I kind of feel it’s like the Stanley Cup, and I should take it around with me to bars, and have people touch it.

There’s never been a better time to follow us on facebook, twitter, and youtube.  So many great things coming up! If you’re lucky, you might even get to hang out with me and the hard drive!
