The Volunteer: Update #3

As much as we tend to make a big deal out of the lights-camera-action! that happen during production - and it IS a big deal - one element that cannot be overstated is created far from the hustle and bustle of the cameras and actors. In a small, dark studio we visit singer/songwriter, producer, recording artist, and all-round awesome guy to work with: Brian MacMillan.

Can't say enough about how great it was to work with Brian. It takes a special person that would not only tolerate, but thrive off of Jon and I watching over his shoulder as he brought new life to our film. We dropped in periodically to "workshop" with Brian and it was inspiring to watch him create the perfect score for The Volunteer, right in front of us.

The Volunteer: Update #2

An update on post-production on The Volunteer... and it includes some big news: we secured a $10,000 grant from the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund to help us through post! This a HUGE boost because it allows us to call on pros to help us polish the raw materials into a beautiful gem.
