Manalive Update

Joey Odendahl, our fearless director, writes us cast members:

Yo peeps!

I am in Savannah (again) with Kirk Gillon [our Assistant Director and Editor – MS]. We’re hard at work on the editing and should have a rough cut completed very soon. So far it’s coming along well. We’ve finished a rough cut of the third act. It’s starting to look really good! After we complete the rough cut, I will go back to Atlanta to start on the music soundtrack while Kirk does some fine tuning on the editing. There will eventually be sound effects added AND (for those of you who were worried) we will be putting the footage through a color process. Hopefully the end results will be something we can all be proud of.

Thanks!

I’m also informed by Kirk’s girlfriend, Cara, that it looks “great and funny”. So there’s glory for you!

So far, the only thing I’ve seen is the trailer since our Director of Photography had an iron rule against letting actors see the dailies. (Let us do that and we start fretting about our performances and wanting to do re-shoots, which slows everything down. Actors: what a bunch of vain popinjays!).

Joey says he will have some sort of taste of the movie available for the Chesterton Conference this August in Seattle.
