Location Scout Numero Dos

Hey Fielders!

We got to check out a second location, the Los Robles Ranch in Santa Clarita, last weekend, and it may just be the place! It has several cabins, so we can mix and match exteriors to get exactly what we want. The 200+ acres look decidedly western/Californian, so not exactly the Northeastern feel we were originally going for. However, the change in look would bring about minimal change in the actual story and tone of the film. The owner of the ranch, was super helpful and accommodating, letting us check out every inch of her property. Hopefully we can work out the scheduling and budgetary logistics in the next week or so and nail down this place down. We'll keep you posted!

Here's a few photos from the scout:

$20,000+ Raised!

WEEEEE DIDDD ITT!!!! Thank you all so much for helping us raise the money for this project. I speak on behalf of the crew when I say that the support we have gotten from our friends and family is beyond humbling. We are soooo appreciative of every dollar that was given to us, I honestly do not think that our gratitude can be expressed simply through words.

If there is anyone who still wants to donate towards the film or pass the word around then feel free to do so. Film is an extremely expensive medium and every extra dollar raised will lead to one less compromise made.


Thanks again and keep updated w/ the films updates through our blog!
