Talking Posters

After a year or so hiatus from the film I'm proud to announce that we are moving forward, Hard and fast. great things are happening for us. and the film should be out by the end of the year. thanks for all of you who have kept us going...

The Evolution of the Spacesuit

The Spacesuit evolved through several designers and even more concepts, in the end I sat down with Devin Olsen. Devin is a very talented costume builder that I've worked with several times before. A week before we where to go into shooting Devin and I made a quick sketch of an idea I had and Devin made it real. With very, very low budget and very pressed for time Devin came up with a design and a way to build it that blew our minds. In the Film the suit is meant to look like one of Sam's toys, and when you put the two together its almost an exact replica. Thank you Devin!

The Fastest Wrap in the Universe

Brave Like Leo

It's come to my attention that we have yet to praise the crap out of Korbin Lund, the star of our show.  Korbin is Jaron's cousin and right from the get go, while Spaceman was still in its pre-written stages, Jaron knew that Korbin was who he wanted for the part.  He fit the physical profile perfectly, and when he was offered the part he jumped at the opportunity. The only problem was that he'd never acted a day in his life.  Everyone involved during preproduction was worried about this.  Not all of us voiced our concerns, but it was definitely on everyone's mind.  All our fears were soon put to rest on the first day of shooting. Korbin was awesome; he took very little direction and its safe to say he pretty much nailed it.  As the week went on we found ourselves constantly asking each other "Where did this kid come from?!" He picked up on everything so quickly, and soon became the complete embodiment of Sam. His performance was so natural he even had all of us practically in tears more than once. Not to mention what a trooper he was, literally falling asleep mid haircut at one point. Korbin is the heart and soul of this show and believe me when I say that no one could have pulled it off but him!  Thank you so much Korb we could not have done it without you buddy!!

Steve The Great.

Editing footage of the great Steve Bethers. This amazing actor stepped up to the plate literally last minute. We called him the day before he was due to shoot and asked him to do a part that he had never heard of. He said yes, rearranged his schedule and showed up last minute. HE NAILED THE PART! Steve took his role as Tom to a level I hadn't even considered. SHOUT OUT TO STEVE BETHERS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

(except for that one little pick up weekend in October) THANK YOU SO MUCH! Thanks to everyone that helped out, the ones who stepped up to the plate and put there own blood sweat and tears into this! Thanks to all those little miracle people who came out of the wood works. Thanks for all the sacrifices made. For putting your life on hold so that this project could come to life. I recognize it was not easy, at times almost unbearable and I thank you. This would not be have as meaning full if those sacrifices here made. thank you. Keep watching for updates behind the scenes footage, pictures and much more! THANK YOU!
