The movie is finished. I was honestly starting to wonder if it ever would be. I’m sure many of you have been wondering the same thing, and I don’t blame you. If I had known just how long this was going to take, and how much it was going to bleed out of me for so long, I might have thought twice about undertaking the endeavor at all.

I started the journey of making this film three and a half years ago. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s longer than the U.S. fought in World War II (which at the moment feels like a particularly apt analogy).

Three years of hard work by a lot of very talented people has come down to this:

We’re not done yet by a long shot. A careful examination of the above picture reveals the words “Work-in-Progress”. But we submitted to our first film festival today. The first of many. Now all we can do is wait. Oh… and finish the movie.

Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Well… the picture is locked, and after a long week cleaning up project files and reconforming temp mixes and yada yada (and then another week putting out fires with regard to our taxes for this year), I’m finally getting to do what it is I do best: sound.

I cannot even being to describe how happy it makes me to finally be doing the sound for this movie. Fifteen years of training of my ears, hands, and instincts have me powering through it and not looking back. Picture editing always feels clunky to me. But once I get back into Pro Tools, it’s like my body and brain just remember what to do and do it. It’s a good feeling.

We’ve had a ton going on, so much so that our site has lagged sorely behind everything else. But the big one for today: The Hollywood Reporter has written an article on Found Footage 3D.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

It’s been a crazy week.

On Tuesday morning we introduced new perks to our Indiegogo campaign, specially for Texas Chainsaw fans. Depending on your contribution level, you can choose any one, two, or all four of these items, all SIGNED by Texas Chainsaw co-creator Kim Henkel.

• Texas Chain Saw Massacre 40th Anniversary DVD/Blu-Ray Combo Pack
• Texas Chain Saw Massacre original theatrical poster
• Leatherface mask
• Leatherface chainsaw toy

If you’ve ever tried to get Kim’s signature before, you know he can be pretty elusive. We recently heard that one of our fans has spent ten years collecting signatures from every major player in the original movie, but since Kim rarely (if ever) attends conventions or screenings, that’s the one signature he’s still missing. (And before you ask, yes, we’re hooking the guy up.) So this could be your only opportunity to get something signed by the guy who co-created Leatherface.

The Austin Chronicle‘s website has a column called “One in a Crowd,” which “showcase[s] Texas film and tech projects that are crowdfunding their way to a goal.” Guess who the featured project of the week is? Courtesy of our good friend Richard Whittaker (the same guy who said, on Steven’s Facebook wall, “Is this the greatest crowdfunding video ever? I’m not saying yes, but I’m not not saying yes.”)

We are giving $500 (plus a pair of tickets to our private screening and the exclusive after party*) to the person who gets us the most Indiegogo contributions. No catch. No strings. Five hundred bucks.

Here’s how it works:
