Born Again Heathen BLOG

Dear all, after numerous challenges that elongated the time to produce a finished edit; Stewart Hadfield and Wade Savage finished the cut by the 24th Oct. I sent authored DVD's of the film along with all submission requirements via express courier to the Berlin & Bradford Film Festivals; both arrived at their respective destinations on Fri 31st Oct.

We now have a finished edit that’s good enough for festival submissions however because of the tight deadline; it still requires work on sound levels, colour grading and adding a special effect for the ‘miracle’ scene. To this end I have advertised on the Film & Television Institute website and am contacting Universities for another editor to ‘polish’ the final cut.

The goal is to have this new cut finished by the end of this month, ready for the Tribeca Film festival in New York; being the biggest in the western world, it’s a huge deal and I want the edit to be of the highest quality.

A date for the wrap party will be announced over the next week where food, drinks and a viewing of the film will be made available however due to Film Festival regulations, I will not be able to give anybody a copy of the film until after April 2009. (Perhaps longer than this dependent on other festival rules.) To compensate for this, a DVD will be given on the day to all immediate cast and crew, containing hundreds of high quality pictures of the shoot. After April 2009, a DVD of the film will then be made available to all cast, crew and extras!
