Full Speed Ahead

After a very long silence, things are about to begin moving ahead at full speed. We have had a change of plans on our original idea for a location and we will most likely be working with a company called Caravan West. They have been very supportive of our project and will be providing our costumes, props, weapons and horses, not to mention the infinite amount of historical accuracy they have contributed. We will be doing some final location scouting tomorrow morning to get an idea of how the newly constructed frontier town set will look and compliment our story.

Final locked shooting dates are still in question but the outlook is very promising for November. There is also a little extra money still being raised.

For the most part the script is done, except for a few minor things to enhance the characters.

stay tuned....

Still Waiting

Our meeting was postponed so we are still waiting. We hope to have some decisions made fairly soon. A lot has to do with locking down, in writing, the location and fixing the minor details to the script. Hopefully things will begin to pick up soon.

We will most likely need to start making our rounds with searching for distribution. I am in the process of raising some more money and if that is successful then we will most likely be able to afford an entertainment attorney to look over our distribution agreements and contracts.

We are almost into our test phase, we have a few options we want to play with before we make a decision on format. Stage Ham Films is almost ready to release a new business strategy for post production which should save us a lot of money and help things to run smoothly.

A goal is to get as much stuff ready and as many decisions made this week as possible.

Stay tuned....again.

A Milestone

Tonight we are having a meeting that could determine a lot on how we will proceed with production. The meeting has been in development for a while now and has finally been set. On the other side of things, more possibilities for money have been come about.
As we find out more information on these leads we will be able to pursue them further.

With a few more revisions of the script we should have it locked. Things will probably start rolling more rapidly very soon.

...stay tuned.
