Production News

The kids were wonderful troopers yesterday despite the strafing of stuka-deerflies and the constant buzz of the film crew. We successfully captured the last required scenes for the production. Now we "officially" enter post production (and scoring) and should resurface in about 4-6 weeks time at which point we will have small public and private premiere screenings in Barry's Bay, Halifax, Ottawa,

Once again thank you for your help in making our short, The Threshold, a film reality.

The kids were wonderful troopers yesterday despite the strafing of stuka-deerflies and the constant buzz of the film crew. We successfully captured the last required scenes for the production. Now we "officially" enter post production (and scoring) and should resurface in about 4-6 weeks time at which point we will have small public and private premiere screenings in Barry's Bay, Halifax, Ottawa, Toronto, Kitchener, San Diego, London (UK), Rome, and Bratislava. Based on audience reaction in those venues we will go back into post to tweak elements and flow before we finalize our strategis for film festival submission.

Music is our next challenge and we are working with local and distant talent to put together music highlights as well as a larger underlying score. Here is a snippet on the general direction of the musical layer that brings a fresh spirit to all the moving images. If you know of musical talent that would be interested in submitting a song/instrumental for consideration in the The Threshold please have them contact me or send me a demo reel by July 9th.
