Thanks to The BGB Studio (the acting studio where I train) and photographer Ellyn Jameson, I got to take this ridiculously goofy photoshoot. And, yes, all those stuffed animals are mine.
Here are a few film stills from the rough cut of PURE!
The rough cut is complete, and we are currently planning and prepping for the rest of post-production. We anticipate one day of pick-ups, and the remainder of post includes things like CGI/visual FX, color correction, ADR and sound design, and music. In order to fund post-production, we have spent most of 2019 applying to filmmaking grants and finishing funds. Most of these opportunities are tedious processes, often not announcing their finalists and winners for many months. But we are optimistic and doing as much prep and post as we can do on our own while we continue looking for financing.
In the meantime, we are going to begin distributing some of the hard-copy perks from our crowdfunding campaign starting in the next few weeks. So if you are expecting a One-Sheet, Character Portraits, and/or Autographed Script Pages keep a look-out in your inbox for instructions that will help us get those to you. Larger perks such as the Behind-the-Scenes Featurette, Digital Portfolio, and Producers’ Books require us to finish post-production first, so those will be distributed at a later date.
If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to say “Hi!” please don’t hesitate to email us anytime at [email protected].
Thanks to you, last weekend we shot two days of principal photography on Episode Zero of PURE. We had a fantastic time shooting on location in Idyllwild, California and cannot wait to show you how it all turned out. Here is a little behind-the-scenes sneak peek:
But we still have a long road ahead of us. Following a short break for the holidays and the New Year, we will be jumping right into post-production. We’ll keep you posted on our progress, and, as always, don’t hesitate to reach out and say “Hi” via social media, Seed & Spark, or at [email protected].
In our most recent update at www.journeytotheannex.com, our lead actors Briggon Snow and Julia Morizawa go to their first official fitting with costume designer Kumie Asai. The core team continues pre-production based on our shiny new script, while director Cate Carson is getting the whole show together with all our department heads and key producer J. Everley is busy magically stretching our budget as far as it’ll go.
