DVD extras coming!

Alright gang, very soon I'll be releasing a list of extras that will be on the DVD! Stay tuned next week!

DVD Status Report

Time for a status report on My Dear Ralph!

According to UPS, the DVDs arrived in San Antonio this week. So, on that end, there's nothing to be done except wait until the end of the year when the SAICFF semi-finalists are notified.

Andrew Bartlett has finished the DVD artwork, so all that remains is to finish the bonus features for the disc.

2 of the 3 commentaries are finished. Actor interviews are being edited. Outtake reel, and BTS photo slideshow are almost through compilation.

Let me know if there are any other special features you'd like to see on the DVD! I can't promise we'll be able to supply them, but I'd definitely like to hear from you guys!

SAICFF Submission

Today we mailed My Dear Ralph to the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. The goal is to enter the film into at least a couple more festivals in addition to this, but SAICFF is a very special festival to our team, as Jeffrey French, Joshua French, Jonathan Hedrick, Joshua Hedrick, Johnny Reighard, and I have all attended it.

Here's hoping we make it in!

Storyboards

We were fortunate to have the talented artist Johnny Reighard draw storyboards for My Dear Ralph. For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, storyboards are created to show what the scene is going to look like through the camera lens, before the film is shot. It helps with planning, and so on.

Here is a look at a scene which shows how the original storyboards compare with the final footage.

Two Nice Chaps

So we needed some guys to play a couple of bums in one scene - and guess who just happened to be hanging around?
