Well, that’s not us. "I’m not dead yet!" In fact, ‘32 Hours 7 Minutes’ the movie, is on track and scheduled to lock picture June, 2009. ‘Locking picture’ means the visual edit is no longer being altered and only graphics, sound mix/design and color correction remain. For us, this will be a huge milestone because the premiere date, release schedule and distribution all hinge on locking the picture. That’s when I finally get to show it to the people who want to sell it.
Now, where the hell we have been for the last 6 months? Regrouping. After I submitted the film to Sundance, I screened it for all sorts of people; car people, film people and people that were neither of those. From those screenings I obtained gold in the form of critical feedback, the downside was, I knew that we weren’t going to get into Sundance. It wasn’t ready.
There’s only one thing harder than convincing people that your film isn’t ready and that’s figuring out exactly what needs to be done in order to finish it. In a recession. It was a long winter but the bear is finally off my back (I do love those gun curtains!) The film moved to Los Angeles in November and the new Editorial team has been in high gear since January and we are so close. I apologize for not updating this site sooner and I appreciate all of you who posted concerns and well wishes. When everything else seemed pretty bleak, it was nice knowing you were still out there. Back soon. 10 - 4.
