Final Stretch!

Well, as most of you know, we are officially beginning production THIS COMING FRIDAY, April 27th! Thanks to all of your support, we are ready to go! We have rented our equipment, including lights, dollies, rigs, sound equipment, generators and even a cargo van thrown in for good measure. We have tested our cameras and are pumped about the quality of detail that we are getting in our images. We have a cast of 5, a crew of 10 and (thankfully) a place to put them all for the weekend.

Now, we just need to shoot the darn thing! After principal photography, we will immediately (err... maybe after a week's rest) begin work on the long editing process. After video, sound and music editing is done, we will be ready to premier the film... HOPEFULLY in July. At that time, all of your shirts and DVD's will be ready for you contributors!

Meanwhile, we will still need your support! Ticket sales to the awesome premier night will go on sale shortly before the premier and we will need to sell 150 of them to break even on the venue. So, start planning on it! Also, we could still use contributions! Right now, our budget has covered all of our production expenses, however we still need funds to cover down payment on the premier venue, festival entry fees for later in the year, post-production sound dubbing and DVD pressing and packaging. If you donate through our PayPal Donation Button on this page, you will STILL BE ELIGIBLE for the Kickstarter rewards! So, if you missed out on our initial fundraising efforts, you are NOT TOO LATE! Be a part of the film!

That about covers our progress so far (minus the creature-creation....). Many of you want to see more video blogs. They WILL be coming after filming. We will release video blogs from the set shortly after our shoot. Also, with images from the film, we will be able to make official posters beyond our concept art. So, stay tuned! Much more goodies on the way! The real fun is only just beginning...

New Video Blog!

Hey everyone!

If you look to your right, you will see that we have posted a new video blog! We had a lot of fun making this one, as you will see. We used the actual HPX-170 that we will be using to shoot "Beast." Of course, keep in mind that posting to YouTube takes away a little of the "HD-ness" from the look, but the movie will be on DVD, so the final product will be a lot sharper. BUT, the video is a lot of fun at any rate... and we all look pretty good. Watch it to find out what we're up to and what you can look forward to seeing from our movie!

Comment on the video, subscribe to the blog and like us on Facebook, please!

New Poster!

Hey everyone!

Happy Easter! As a special treat, we would like to premier our new original poster for the film with all of you! The old poster was whipped up sort of in haste... and it sort of implies that the movie might be about a killer car... so this one should either clear things up or add even MORE mystery to the film. Tell us what you think! Special thanks to Daniel Sterling for taking the time to design this exclusively for our film.

Happy Sunday!


A second poster complete with production details is soon to follow.
