Production Highlights

Well, we did it. We survived our gruelling production schedule - one that saw us shoot, on average, 3.28 scenes per day for 28 days.

There are no words to describe the gratitude we feel for the cast and crew who worked ridiculous hours and produced such satisfying results. It was amazing to watch a crew gathered from all over the world gel into such a cohesive unit!

Here are a few photographs from the shoot, captured by the brilliant Jonathon Bowman.

The dynamite camera crew: (L-R) 2nd AC Alex Mielke, Director of Photography Christopher Schneider, Director Jonathon Steckley, Camera Operator Ben Barber, and 1st AC Ozvaldo Sepulveda.

This is our Production Manager Trevor Hunsberger's parents dog, hogging the limelight,  surrounded by some of our brilliant cast.

Ken had to pretend to struggle to carry this mattress up the stairs so many times it became a real struggle.


There are many more photos and screen shots and you'll see them in good time!  

Jon is currently starting the arduous process of post-production, cutting rough scenes together. Eventually we'll need to raise some more cash to pay for sound design, a score, and colour grading, among many other things... stay posted!

And again... THANK YOU for everybody who has been supporting, encouraging, and praying for us during this epic journey.  We could not have made it this far without you.
