CHRIS IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB!

There has been some questions lately about the how the editing of the movie has been going. First I want to say Chris has put a lot of time and effort into it so far and these things take time. You have to realize that Chris is the only one doing the editing. There was four cameras with 5 hours of footage each or more. That is over 20 hours to sift through. After the best footage is found it has to be organized into folders then into scene folders, then the editing begins. This is a long process. From start to final cut Chris could have 500-1000 hours into editing it. A VERY big project for one person to undertake. What I am trying to clarify is, these things take time.
All the video equipment used was professional and so was the audio, this wasn’t some handycam Blair Witch rinky-dink project. I want people to know when finished it will be a full-length, professional feature film.
Before we can even sell the final cut, we first have to enter it into over 100 film festivals that vary from docudrama to music and art. This is also considered a ‘feature’ so it has to be at least 80 minutes long.
The long term goals for the movie vary, but are all exciting just the same. If the film wins some ‘promising’ awards. It could get picked up by a production company, which could mean good things for all of us, and yes, Fred, some money. It could also develop into a stage show, which is also exciting. I can’t promise you anything at this point accept we are working on trying to make it the best we possibly can with the resources we have. I have a lot of confidence that the final product will be very creative and different then most music films.
This is a long process, and hopefully a year from now we will have some positive feedback.
PATIENCE EVERYONE! Good things come to those who wait.
