Episode 2.

Hey guys,
This is Nick for the first time. I'm currently in the middle of writing episode two which though moving steadily is being balanced with a mess of other junk I'm trying to get done. However the current plan is to be shooting this episode by the last month of the summer and putting the first two episodes online in the fall. So Ill keep you updated as I know more. Also it looks like Luke put up a contest of sorts on the facebook page so jump over there to get in on that. The facebook page is probably going to be where things of that nature are going to take place since any contest put up on this site will be put up by me and therefore probably related to sexual favors.

Test Screening A Success!

Hey Everyone,

Over the last 2 weeks Episode one has gone through 3 screenings. The first screening begins showing the first 16 minute cut to my classmates/professor as my final project for the semester. As the movie finished, the hands rose up and was followed by a wave of critique. Most of the comments stated that the episode was too long and that some scenes weren't needed as they repeated certain beats.



I took this critique to heart, cutting the movie down to ten minutes. By doing this we have made a much tighter piece that flows so much smoother. When the new cut was shown again in my end of the semester review the piece received much praise from my professors saying that it was great that I listened to the comments of my classmates, and really cut the piece up. Also saying that the new cut is 100 times better. But we still wanted my feedback from a more general audience. So it was decided to show Episode 1 at the Sophomore Film Conservatory Screening this year.




Many thanks to those who came out to see our films. An even greater thanks to those who stuck it out though the night in that unbearably hot room. The Episode was screened to roughly 100 people that evening, and was met with great reviews from fellow peer's and colleagues.



Now that we have this new cut we'll be diving into the productions of the next couple episodes. writing for episode 2 begins this weekend. Expect more updates one episode 2 coming soon!

Best,
Luke Francy
