Updates, Real Dates, Teasers and Promises!

So - For everyone out there who's following us I think it's time for a little update. I have the privilege, and curse, of doing a lot of jobs on 'Willa' myself. I am learning a lot but also have to work hard to make sure our wonderful film doesn't just sit around while I do one small thing after another. That's sort of why I am doing a lot of things at once and slowly gathering everything. Sound editing on the film is almost done, I am now working with a couple of great composers who, like so many others, have loved the story so much that they actually will make original music for the film. I would have settled for tracks that were sitting around but I'll certainly take an original score any day!
Also, a fabulous designer is working on a poster for the film and I am very excited to show you some of the ideas for that very soon.
'Willa' has also already been submitted to its first festival. I'm not telling you which one just yet. I think it's more fun if they actually invite us. Though the plan always have been to wait until the film was 100 percent done I just couldn't wait with this one.
Sound design is also coming together slowly. And it's amazing to see - and hear - how things come so much more to life and how the entire mood and feel of a scene changes with the sound. I've definitely found a new respect for sound designers out there and how even little sounds can change a lot.
The biggest task at hand is the color correction and the visual effects. I have a deadline for this - February 15th these must be done! There! I wrote it here! This means that I now have to make that deadline. Very exciting.
And speaking of dates. March 1st 'Willa' will be done! All editing, designing, correcting etc will be finished by then. I am hoping to have the first screening even before that date. I did announce on Facebook that a screening date would be revealed soon but a venue has been harder for me to locate than I thought so I'm afraid I'll have to keep people hanging a bit on that one
