It’s Official…

It’s official, we just wrapped production on our first feature film! After a several months long hiatus to care for our parents, we filmed one final round of reshoots at the end of August for “The Diner”(working title), with most of the cast coming back, excited to return. As of our last post in December, we had hoped to film sooner but our parents’ care came first and we were forced to delay. During our hiatus, we took time to assemble a first cut of the film that wowed our returning cast and crew and, humorously, they were delighted to remind us throughout the reshoots about the parts we needed to film and things they wanted to try. As a filmmaker, I appreciated these moments and the camaraderie that the film inspired amongst everyone involved, even in it’s rough state being filled with editing notes and very quick and early VFX. This is our first feature film and the feeling of knowing that we were at the end of production was indescribable, falling somewhere between happy relief and sad goodbye. Now, of course, the second hardest part comes with post production and editing the final cut, filming prop and VFX plate inserts, finding a musician, and ultimately selling the film. Throughout September, we’ll be working every day to ensure picture lock as soon as possible for certain film festival submissions and to get the film ready for whatever distribution path it’s presented with. In this time, we will also be launching the website for the film as well as introducing its true title.

Next Up

As for what comes next, we already have the story beats and most of the characters figured out for our next feature film which will be a comedy. We can’t say too much at this time but we hope to start writing and perhaps casting fairly soon. Also, during our downtime, we filmed a few videos for our Youtube channel that we’ll edit together and post as soon as possible, albeit with the feature film primarily taking all of our focus and time.

In Conclusion… For Now

Needless to say, this has been a very busy summer and a very busy year since we started filming this very awesome movie and we joke that the years long behind the scenes making of the film could be a movie all its own! Who knows? Maybe one day! For now though, we’re going to be getting right back to it and putting all the finishing touches on this fantastic supernatural thriller and we hope you all will be able to watch and enjoy it very soon. As always, stay tuned for more!
