Just have to share...

As many of you know - our other short film BUTTERSCOTCH is getting close to finishing its festival run. We just got into San Diego IndieFest and Charleston International. Well, today the wonderful people at Charleston International's FB page they posted this about Scotch AND our trailer:

Charleston International Film Festival Like dark comedy? Check out Butterscotch at this year's CIFF in April. 3 people that meet in a suicide therapist’s waiting room decide to go on a trip of a lifetime to plan their perfect funerals. Directed by Academy Award finalist Jon Keeyes.

THANK YOU Charleston! Total class-acts!

Color Grading today!

We color grade VMX today with Omar and Sam! Rumor has it that VMX's 1st AC Kingslea Beultel and still photographer Anne Fleitas will be dropping by as well. To be honest, the raw footage is so good it's current state - that I'm not sure what you could do to this thing to make it better. But 99% of the movies out there go through the color grading (or some call it color correction) process.

For those you don't know what color grading is:

Color grading is the process of altering and enhancing the color of a motion picture or television image, either electronically, photo-chemically or digitally. The photo-chemical process is also referred to as color timing and is typically performed at a photographic laboratory. Modern color correction, whether for theatrical film or video distribution, is generally done digitally.

PUMPED!

VMX Spotlight: Virgin Mary...

VMX's own Cherami Leigh (Virgin Mary) is back in our spotlight! Cherami will be guest starring on this week's ABC lawyer show "The Deep End." For those who didn't know - the show shoots here in Dallas that stars Billy Zane (Titanic) and Mehcad Brooks (True Blood). Cherami plays the role of "Sarah." So make sure to tune in or set your TiVO's for Thursday night! We love you Cherami!

Butterscotch Cast Signs On!

As many of you know - Jason and I had a previous project called BUTTERSCOTCH the short. We announced the cast today for BUTTERSCOTCH the feature on our Scotch and VMX pages. Head on over now to check it out!

Updates...

We are well into the editing phase of VMX. You have no idea of how truly happy we are. This thing is EVERYTHING we wanted it to be!!! The chemistry bewteen Cherami and Katy is INSANE. We only have a few tiny tweaks to make on the edit and then it should be off for color grading with Omar and sound design with Rosenblad.

Here's a quick screen cap of Dana (Katy Rowe) yelling from the stairwell.

A shout out to the best crew!

Remember us telling you the story of how when we wee shooting BUTTERSCOTCH that DP Ron Gonzalez and his crew had to pull an all-nighter from the Arizona Desert where they were filming Tom Huckabee's feature CARRIED AWAY to get in Dallas on time to shoot our short??? Well, Carried Away just won BEST NARRATIVE FEATURE at the Oxford Film Festival! Congrats to their crew! Many of the crew have worked on our projects Butterscotch and Virgin Mary Christmas. This just drives home the fact of how special and important you make us feel.

Cherami Leigh is back in the VMX spotlight!

Make sure you tune into the acclaimed HBO film Temple Grandin tonight on HBO! VMX's own Cherami Leigh (Virgin Mary) stars as a mean college roommate! We love you Cherami!

2nd version of edit is done!

The second edit of VMX is now COMPLETE with Chad Cox's musical score! We are so proud of this thing. Color grading is the next step!

Jason returns from Sundance...

So Jason finally returned from Sundance on Sunday night. Jason runs the award winning AMAT Film Academy at RL Turner High School. This was the third time his class was chosen to attend Sundance. It was pretty cool getting his text messages with his updates and his mobile uploaded pics. So I thought I'd share a few with you. He got me pretty pumped up about the writer and director stories about how they got stars to attach themselves to their movies. Not to mention the Ryan Reynolds action movie that takes place in a coffin for the entire film called BURIED. That's Vinny Chase from Entourage in one of the pics. Once the dust settles we will return to our second round of edits for VMX.
