<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am so sorry for the lack of updates, but there basically hasn't been anything to update. Reunion's post-production basically ground to a halt last September when I became a full-time stay-at-home dad of twins. But, my wonderful wife Jennifer, who is a preschool teacher, is now home for the summer and it's time to get back to the grind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sound is almost finished and I am getting back to the color grading I set aside in September. Reunion will be finished this summer. Expect more updates throughout the summer, on our progress, and on how you will be able to see the finished film.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Thank you so much for your support and patience!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Reunion is coming.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Be seeing you...</span><br />

<br />
Reunion IS coming! The edit is locked, sound design is awaiting my approval, and a composer is on hold. <br />
<br />
The stall we've been experiencing is purely my doing (with a lot of "help" from two little people). I'm a stay at home dad with eight-month-old twins taking up all of my time, time that would otherwise go to finishing up color correction and grading. <br />
<br />
However! My wife is a preschool teacher and has Thanksgiving and Winter Breaks coming up which I will be taking advantage of to finish up the color work on the last fifteen or twenty minutes of the movie (it may even be less).<br />
<br />
I want to thank all if you who have supported thus project for your patience - twins are hard!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In yesterday's update you learned that it was a bit of a challenge to cast our male lead, our "Good Guy" part. One of the problems we were having was that we just weren't getting many actors auditioning for that role. Everyone, we learned, wants to play The Bad Buy, the man in the mask.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Jesse was on our radar from the start, first arriving to read at our December 2010 auditions. He came in for multiple callbacks -- not because we weren't sure about him, but because the part that he ultimately grabbed and made his own was so crucial to the success of the movie. We wanted to make sure we had seen all of our options, but in the end, there was only one option -- and all of us in the final casting session knew it. It was to be Keeter for Caswell.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">His performance is amazing. While Reunion is, at its heart, a slasher film, it's a slasher film with a twist -- these characters are not being picked off by a random whacko. They are being picked off by a whacko they have a history with. That allowed Jesse to play scenes where he and the other characters (especially Brian Sutherland's character, Jason Lasby) delved into their shared past. It was an opportunity for Jesse give his character a depth not typically seen in a horror movie killer and that's exactly what he did with the part of Caswell.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On set Jesse had his own room upstairs where he could prepare between scenes away from the other actors, actors he would soon be brutalizing with an intensity that still scares my wife. Once the camera rolled he was riveting to watch. Recommended viewing, if your heart can take it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Ah, it was a long search for our leading man. After holding our first round of auditions in December of 2010 we had limited leads on our lead. A second round of auditions still left us wanting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And then, a fortuitous turn of events -- Reunion's producer, Matt Ralston, met one <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3456797/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Brian Sutherland</a>. Matt was producing a Washington State Lottery spot starring Brian (watch it at the bottom of this post). The spot required Brian to stand under a rain machine on a cold Washington day and Matt had been impressed with Brian's ability to take it like a man. He suggested we bring BSuth™ in for an audition. Brian strutted in like a peacock to read opposite Alison Monda, who had already been cast as our leading lady. He knocked it out of the park. We knew the minute he left the room he was our guy (but don't tell him that).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Brian, known mostly for his comedic chops, gave a great performance as Jason Lasby. It was a challenging part to play -- his character spends a large chunk of time locked away in a dark room with no one else to interact with. That made for a couple of very long shooting days. And then, just to mix it up, we brought in Jesse Lee Keeter for an afternoon to wail on Brian's back with a (fake, but also, strangely, very real) baseball bat. Brian took his beating like a champ and we will forever be indebted to him for it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Meet our leading lady, Alison Monda...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In October of 2010 I posted a "We will be casting soon..." notice, kind of of an attempt to make actors (and anyone else -- we also scored the amazing guys at Bandersnatch Studios from that post) aware of our project.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">However, we really didn't plan to begin meeting people for auditions until December. But that didn't stop Alison Monda from emailing and asking for an early audition (her busy schedule -- she does A LOT of plays -- made December a problematic audition time for her). She was persistent. So I sent her script sides and had her videotape the scenes and email them back to me. She had jumped through the first hoop. After seeing those scenes (some of them in nothing but bra and panties -- the scene was post-husband and wife lovemaking) and getting to know Alison through our email exchanges (she was a big horror -- and High Tension specifically -- fan) we decided to bring her in for an early audition. This was all done with the stipulation that, no matter how much we might like her, we were still going to proceed with our previously scheduled audition process.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Which we did. And we ended up seeing a lot of talented actresses, but Alison's talent and persistence won out and she was cast as Rachelle Lasby, our female lead.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On set Alison was a swirl of activity. She's tall, impossible to miss, and has a bit of a potty mouth. Which is to say she was great fun to have on set and she gave a great performance. Her part is very physical and she threw herself into all of it with wild abandon. The scratches on her back, the bruises on her knees, and the goosebumps from running around barefoot in nothing but a cocktail dress in late October all proved it. And not one word of complaint through all of it. She was, and is, amazing.</span></div>

At this point we have 52 backers who have pledged a total of $2,570 toward our $3,500 goal. We need to reach that goal by Monday, March 19th, at 10:41AM (PST) or we get nothing.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We can do this!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">With just $930 to go before we reach our goal we just need forty more donors to kick in $25 each and we'll have surged past the $3,500 mark. At that $25 level you'll receive a digital copy of the finished movie, an original call sheet from the shoot, and an autographed script page.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We've also lowered the level you need to donate at to receive a personalized video death threat from our killer to $125. That's pretty sweet -- you donate $125 to a little Seattle-based horror film and receive a video death threat for your troubles!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As we continue through the post-production process (Matt's editing like crazy) it's become clear that we will need to raise an additional $3,500 to hire a sound designer. We are aiming to finish the film in time to submit it to the outstanding genre film festival, <a href="http://www.fantasticfest.com/">Fantastic Fest</a>, in Austin, Texas. Once the film is edited a sound designer will create and insert all of the sound effects into the movie. It's a lot of work!</span><br />

Many months, if I'm not mistaken. Let's get you all back up to speed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Reunion officially wrapped on October 25th (my birthday!). After completing ninety percent of the shoot in August we had to take a little time off while we regrouped and tracked down our final location (not as easy as we'd hoped). But we finally did it and finished up with a couple of cold days and nights in Bellingham, WA. Alison Monda, who plays Rachelle in the film, was particularly inspiring, running around barefoot in a revealing dress in bone-chilling cold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So what's been going on since then?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Well, I, for one, needed some time to decompress. And then the holidays arrived. And I've been prepping our house for the imminent arrival of twins (a boy and a girl!). And time flew by.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">But we're back! Matt (our esteemed producer Matt Ralston, one half of Cryptid Productions and the whole of Sasquatch Pictures) has assembled a teaser trailer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Audio just got cleaned up on that yesterday and hopefully sometime today he'll be handing it off to me to do some light color grading on it. After that -- it will go live. You'll be able to find it here, Facebook, www.reunionthemovie.com (also launching very soon), and on Mars (we have ways).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I've also launched my own website, </span><a href="http://www.jeremydavidbell.com/" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">www.jeremydavidbell.com</a><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">There you will be able to see other stuff I've worked on, including my latest venture, Baby Music Videos. I stumbled on that idea when my nephew Jacob was born -- I shot some footage, edited it to music, and uploaded it to Vimeo. It became a big hit with friends and family that were unable to meet Jacob when he was still brand spanking new. So now I'm offering that service to others and am really excited about it. It's a fun outlet and allows me to meet other babies while I await the arrival of my own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I'll also have a blog at <a href="http://www.jeremydavidbell.com/">www.jeremydavidbell.com</a> where I'll be posting on a variety of film and video related topics, including Reunion updates. However, all Reunion stuff will also still appear here and, ultimately, and www.reunionthemovie.com. I do plan on releasing a series of posts tentatively called "How To Make Your Movie" where I'll try to impart what I've learned making Reunion to those of you who hope to make your own movie. Those posts will appear here and on my personal site, with the first one arriving sometime next week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Thanks for your patience!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After a year of pre-production we finally went into production full force on August 5th. And on August 31st we wrapped up that portion of the shoot. We now have about ninety percent of the movie in the can, with the final three (possibly four) shoot days to be scheduled for (hopefully) early October. All of our interiors have been shot (minus a basement scene we'll pick-up in a half day soon), leaving us with just exteriors (probably two nights) and a brief driving scene.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It was a great month and it confirmed the work we went into planning the shoot really paid off. Because of some unforeseen scheduling issues we ended up working with five (yes, five!) directors of photography. This is not an ideal way to shoot a film but, because we had scheduled our shoot so well, we were able to integrate in all of those different personalities and work-styles and keep on schedule. And every one of those five guys was great to work with and the three that really came in last minute really worked their asses off to match the look we'd established in the early going with <b>Christian Hansen</b>, a look that was first implemented by <b>Jacob Rosen </b>(Jacob has shot most of the movie and his stuff is amazing). Those two gentleman got us off to a great start and allowed us to establish an efficient set workflow. Because of that <b>Griff Johnston</b> was able to step in for a night and get the job done. <b>Rylan Morris Scherer</b> came in for a few days and gave us some gorgeous moonlight footage. And <b>Phillip Harvey</b> stepped in at the very last minute to shoot the last couple of days at our principal location and he knocked it out of the park. Again, this is not the ideal way to shoot a movie, but we rolled with it and made it work. It's a credit to those five guys that the footage we have looks so great (and consistent!). </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The amazing efficiency we maintained would have been impossible without our amazing interns from Seattle Central Community College. <b>Evan Elwell</b>, <b>Todd Michael Johnson</b>, <b>Myles Basterrechea</b>, and <b>Gabe Culkin</b> worked their butts off non-stop to make sure lights were positioned, candles were lit, scenes got slated, and duvetyne (the stuff we hang outside of windows to make it look like it's night outside when it's actually noon and 80 degrees)got hung. You guys are awesome.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Sam does everything and without him it's likely we would have drowned in duvetyne. Besides working with us (hanging duvetyne, doing construction, repairing beds, stepping in as assistant director) he's also in school and he writes and directs his own web series, <a href="http://www.dirtydogooders.com/">The Dirty Do-Gooders</a>. He also plays ukelele and sings like an angel. Frak!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Our assistant directors, <b>Jared Hagen</b> and <b>Nate Souza</b>, made sure everyone kept on schedule and even found time to hang clothes pins (C-47s) from the most unlikely of places. Jared traveled up from Arizona to work with us for a few weeks and Nate came up from Portland. They made the shoot efficient AND fun. Jared also started creating Reunion sequels (there are 24 of them now planned) in his A.D. notebook (Nate also helped with the sequels). Nate also wrote a little backstory for the mop featured in the movie. And taught us all new things to do with scalpels. Love you guys.</span></div>

But, huge thanks to <b>Brian Sutherland</b>,<b> Alison Monda</b>, <b>Jesse Keeter</b>, <b>Bjorn</b> <b>Whitney</b>, <b>Megan Lacki</b>, <b>David Nail</b>, <b>Tessa Marie Archer</b>, and <b>Jordin</b> <b>Buttenob</b>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">One of the biggest challenges for a no-budget movie is feeding cast and crew. A huge thank you to my wonderful wife, <b>Jennifer Coons Bell</b>, for buying and preparing meals for our rowdy bunch. Jennifer arrived an hour before everyone else to make sure coffee was brewed and food was set out when everyone else arrived. And while we were off shooting she was busy preparing lunch and afternoon snacks. She's amazing. I love you!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And finally, a special thank you to our producer, <b>Matt Ralston</b>. A movie requires a producer. They put all of the pieces into place to make sure the movie happens. Matt went above and beyond the call of duty, putting his blood, sweat, and yes, I'm sure a few tears, into making Reunion a success. We first discussed making this movie a couple of years ago and there's no one else I would have wanted to take this long journey with. Matt, you are amazing.</span></div>

Our first official shoot day was June 27th, but that did not require the presence of any of our actors. Our first day with cast on location was last Friday, August 5th. It's been an amazing first week of shooting.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Our first three shoot days (August 5th, 6th, and 8th) were our busiest of the shoot as far as how many cast members we had on set. Brian Sutherland, Alison Monda, Bjorn Whitney, Megan Lacki, David Nail, and Tessa Archer were all with us for most of those three days and it made for a boisterous set. One thing we quickly learned is that we have a great cast and crew. Everyone gets along and, on a small crew like ours, it helps keep everything running smoothly.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Those first few days of shooting marked all of Tessa Archer's days with us. Sniff. She was great on set and terrific in her scenes. Wrapping with her on Monday, knowing she wouldn't be back with us, was sad, but we all hope we work with her on many projects in the future.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcuRcAGcLSnl98ZkgdIutdYXT9qNlxb3L7XaxL6j29EXt-Vps1s0hT1Zc64uktuCCqiJRSo-E5MYoxRQZE2J-7ED_3yACXtYCDcMlbztTxJsZVRWooBUNZ9wBW-r5b038AFa6jSW5pBrQ/s1600/_DSC3104.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcuRcAGcLSnl98ZkgdIutdYXT9qNlxb3L7XaxL6j29EXt-Vps1s0hT1Zc64uktuCCqiJRSo-E5MYoxRQZE2J-7ED_3yACXtYCDcMlbztTxJsZVRWooBUNZ9wBW-r5b038AFa6jSW5pBrQ/s320/_DSC3104.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Tessa Archer (Photo by <a href="http://www.theadamsmith.com/">Adam Smith</a>)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Monday also marked the first day on set for Jesse Keeter, who plays our bad guy. Jesse is giving an amazing performance and he's just getting started. He's the nicest guy you would ever want to meet off camera, but on camera he's something else entirely. The transformation is fascinating to watch.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz6PImBoOdd9x6XdcOfa45nVmb6b_X_e_sTISRUJ0iE3HXReooC3zWGltPXVMLvDHP3d7nd6OXySzroLa5OAAb5X7rbai53tj7CLolBcUf9umGSuygTCv5SUTCMrltOTmLC-2tVGLm25M/s1600/IMG_6142.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz6PImBoOdd9x6XdcOfa45nVmb6b_X_e_sTISRUJ0iE3HXReooC3zWGltPXVMLvDHP3d7nd6OXySzroLa5OAAb5X7rbai53tj7CLolBcUf9umGSuygTCv5SUTCMrltOTmLC-2tVGLm25M/s320/IMG_6142.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Jesse Keeter (Photo by Jeremy Bell)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After three relatively blood free days (our substitute Director of Photography almost got conked on the head by a falling light), we finally got Bandersnatch Studios on set to do some blood work on Tuesday. And it's been all blood all the time since.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It's been an exhausting and exhilarating week. After spending most of the pre-production time trying to put this together with my producer Matt Ralston, who has done an insane amount of work to make sure Reunion can be successful, it was great to finally bring on some more collaborators. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoz0l5bKiqtJVzmeR9wDxYqITDrJKkWfSX86B0HkxfTKLL7hdADJulNSc7hxbXmL5IiaNsclyqGQR_PmU9j71e3J4zQo7ScvCyEu6SIIYDH4TiVMLHLUWuOqUxooyA5x4WNbd1lzK9os/s1600/_DSC3366.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoz0l5bKiqtJVzmeR9wDxYqITDrJKkWfSX86B0HkxfTKLL7hdADJulNSc7hxbXmL5IiaNsclyqGQR_PmU9j71e3J4zQo7ScvCyEu6SIIYDH4TiVMLHLUWuOqUxooyA5x4WNbd1lzK9os/s320/_DSC3366.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Matt Ralston, me.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">All of that pre-production time has paid off in spades. With our minuscule budget and tight actor schedules, it's imperative that we keep to the calendar Matt put together before we started. We've done just that and have even put two kills behind us (don't worry -- there's more!).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Special shout out to our interns from Seattle Central Community College -- Todd Michael Johnson, Myles Basterrechea, Evan Elwell, and Gabriel Culkin. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">They are interns in name only. They've gripped, they've gaffed, they've recorded sound, and they've been assistant camera (they run the iPad slate!). </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Another shout out to an intern who is not really an intern, this time to the amazing Sam Shideler from the Art Institute of Seattle. Sam has already saved our asses a number of times with his problem solving skills. Sam has his own web series, The Dirty Do Gooders. You should all watch it here: <a href="http://www.dirtydogooders.com/">http://www.dirtydogooders.com/</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And finally a huge thank you to Brian Sutherland, Alison Monda, Bjorn Whitney, Megan Lacki, David Nail, Tessa Archer, Jordin Buttenob, and Jesse Lee Keeter for being such an amazing cast. It's been said that directing is ninety percent casting and I'd be hard pressed to argue that. Lesson to all of you who plan on making your own movie, web series, whatever -- take the time to get the cast you want. You'll thank yourself later. And if you luck out the way we have and have a cast that is also a joy to be around, so much the better.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Our costume designer, Megan Lacki, also originally auditioned for Sarah. And she had an awesome audition and will now step into Sarah's shoes.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Two days ago (Tuesday, August 2nd) we discovered an issue that had arisen from Trin's involvement in another feature, which she's wrapping up this week (we start shooting tomorrow, August 5th). After trying to work around the problem that evening, and then sleeping on it that night, I discussed the matter with my producer, our director of photography, and our assistant director, and ultimately made the call to make a change.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It was a very difficult decision to make and the ultimate responsibility for that decision is all mine. We called Trin yesterday afternoon and it was a call we dreaded making all day, but as hard as it may have been for us to make, I have no doubt it was even harder for Trin to hear. She has been a passionate supporter of Reunion -- talking us up to her many friends on Facebook and to her many followers on Twitter (@trinmiller -- you should totally follow her). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We can state, unequivocally, that we are all Trin Miller fans. We were thrilled to have her in the cast (I've worked with her before and so has our assistant director, Jared Hagen) and had been excited to get her on set. She's a delight as an actor, and an even bigger delight as a person (she bakes brownies for the crew!). We wish her nothing but the best and I hope I get to work with her on many projects in the future -- and you shouldn't hesitate to consider her for one of yours.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Take a moment please and let Trin know you'll miss her in Reunion. I know we all will.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

Don't let that deter you from donating! $10,000 was a goal that would have allowed us to use more FX than we now will, but if we could raise an addition $4,000 we could scrape by (barely). Indiegogo does not require projects to meet their goal to get the donations.

We've had nearly a year of pre-production. A successful three month Kickstarter campaign that ended last December. We've cast our actors. We've (well, Bandersnatch) has molded heads. Locations have been secured. A teaser trailer was shot and released. And the script fought me every step of the way through the final re-write but finally succumbed to a beheading that left it twenty pages lighter and a whole lot tighter.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And now, with less than three weeks to go before we begin the shoot in earnest (one scene was shot on June 27th), we need your help to make Reunion be the best little horror movie it can be.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">While our Kickstarter campaign gave us a great start, that money has been spent. Special FX and makeup costs (a must for the kind of blood bath we're aiming for) have ended up being a little more than we anticipated (and worth every penny!). And, we're proud to say, every one of those pennies has stayed in the Seattle area, going to the talented folks at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bandersnatch-Studios/124532150928818">Bandersnatch Studios</a> (they are nicer than anyone you've ever met who spends their days up to their elbows in gore). We've supported schools by shooting (and paying, happily, for the privilege) a scene at Centralia High School (my alma mater!). We've hired the gifted Seattle Central Community College graduate (soon to be no more - check out The Stranger's article about the travesty by clicking on this <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/seattle-central-community-college-guts-a-treasure/Content?oid=8740398">link</a>) <a href="http://internationalfilingsystems.com/">Christian Sorensen Hansen</a> to serve as the Director of Photography, ensuring the film will look amazing. And the biggest chunk of our money went to a local Normandy Park family. For the month of August we'll be renting the house (for our principal interiors, where 90% of the film takes place) they've been trying to sell, putting some money in their pocket while they try to find long term tenants. The rest of the Kickstarter cash has gone to props, insurance, rental space for auditions, and gear rental.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So, as we near the start of production, we still need to scrounge up some more scratch, if you know what I mean. That will go to cover food costs (we have a cast of eight and about that many crew to feed for most of August and a couple of days in July, no small expense). We also need extra money to cover set dressing, additional props, possibly more makeup stuff (the blood never stops flowing!), and even a little bit for our actors, who we will work to the bone. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is a micro-budget production (by most standards we'd be considered no-budget) so we're stretching our dollars as much as we can. But every little bit extra helps (and we really need to feed people, or, you know, they'll die for real).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We are currently running our second crowd-sourced funding campaign, this time through Indiegogo. As I write this post there is just under three weeks left in our campaign.</span><br />

Every donation gets a reward. Even if you can't donate, or have donated but want to do more, you can still help us by getting the word out to anyone you think might want to see their name in the credits of a horror movie.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We have brand new rewards this time around. If you donate $100 you will get a THUMB DRIVE. "Big whoop" I hear you sayin'. Big whoop indeed. This is a THUMB drive. As in, a USB flash drive, in a THUMB! Our killer's thumb, to be precise. Believe me, you want this thing sticking out of your Macbook Pro when you're writing your novel at the fair trade coffee house. Check it:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii-CIzcRDCZCkiz6WsoTskVoWxDnbEYN9Px2swFR4Mit42G0ZqbKslHfGYNTy84rCgkfAbdus0Rirb5nIK4cYsyGhVeNkyKaTXRisYEDQQ6qg_kueCreRTqKgB_ROrYPAJkDgoC-t2Lbo/s1600/2011-05-19_20-23-53_898_edit0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii-CIzcRDCZCkiz6WsoTskVoWxDnbEYN9Px2swFR4Mit42G0ZqbKslHfGYNTy84rCgkfAbdus0Rirb5nIK4cYsyGhVeNkyKaTXRisYEDQQ6qg_kueCreRTqKgB_ROrYPAJkDgoC-t2Lbo/s320/2011-05-19_20-23-53_898_edit0.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And, to top it all off, I'm personally adding a new reward right now. Only one of these will be offered. The first (and only) person (or persons, if you work in an office and want to pool your dough) to donate $2500 will get one of the original pig masks designed and constructed by the amazing <a href="http://www.porrvision.com/">Peter Orr</a> just for Reunion. See a little of the masks in action in our teaser trailer:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

I will sign it. I will force Jesse Lee Keeter, our bad guy, to sign it. The rest of the cast will sign it. And you can display it on your mantle, in your office, over your toilet, wherever you see fit.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So check out our Indiegogo, donate as little as $5, and help us get the word out. There's still twenty days (as I write this) to make Reunion as disgusting as it ought to be. Help us make it happen.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

Damn. I thought I was going to do better. Oh well. The re-write I had been working on fought back hard and took a while to overcome. But that's done and now we're busy rushing toward production, which begins in earnest on July 28 and continues, basically without pause, through August. </span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-size: 1.25em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We did shoot one scene already, on June 27th. It was a half day shoot that didn't require any of our principal actors. It was a nice way to ease into production. Shoot for four and a half hours and then take a month off. Nice.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-size: 1.25em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Of course, we haven't really taken a month off. We finally found our principal location (interiors only -- exteriors we'll shoot later at a separate location). The script breakdown was completed last week and Matt's been furiously trying to work around actor availability (we love our actors!) to schedule the rest of the shoot. We also will be checking in soon with Bandersnatch to see how our makeup fx are coming along. </span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-size: 1.25em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Our lovely costume designer, Megan Lacki, has nearly finished work on the first two dresses our actresses will wear.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-wm7hlgyIOgs3F-dePar7Za715R2UwB5iVS33A87BK5FjcrXLdRjjDUkmq__uYbzD4JWvM67GmE55oX9Qy41VgCinYmeE5o_8Ur6DEKxQWhxjkezl8W_YsdafMZhWIefdQc03-5JsOM/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-wm7hlgyIOgs3F-dePar7Za715R2UwB5iVS33A87BK5FjcrXLdRjjDUkmq__uYbzD4JWvM67GmE55oX9Qy41VgCinYmeE5o_8Ur6DEKxQWhxjkezl8W_YsdafMZhWIefdQc03-5JsOM/s320/photo.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDpP3iuHGaheMh-drr1FGae7MB_4PLzXz1k_a22Kjf24-MDnTglhQjn5JoXs3FqvzTrvLLOLoP4jz0Vhyphenhyphen4QAAZxrsIfN1rYx_gijW90HTeGqnOUE3DYeUZMOI2FnvkDhb1HR_RlKEvdmI/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDpP3iuHGaheMh-drr1FGae7MB_4PLzXz1k_a22Kjf24-MDnTglhQjn5JoXs3FqvzTrvLLOLoP4jz0Vhyphenhyphen4QAAZxrsIfN1rYx_gijW90HTeGqnOUE3DYeUZMOI2FnvkDhb1HR_RlKEvdmI/s320/photo+2.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-size: 1.25em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

Bonus! We are excited to welcome Jordin Buttenob to the cast of Reunion. Jordin will play a supporting role as Travis.</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After leaving the Air Force six months ago Jordin decided to pursue acting. He began taking classes and was told he had good instincts for it. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We would agree -- his audition for Reunion was his second audition ever. From his nuanced performance we would never have guessed he just started developing his craft.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">While Jordin is taking on one of the smaller roles in Reunion, I think it's safe to say he'll be bagging bigger parts soon enough. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
