Keep moving forward

First off, I apologize for how long it has been since the last update. I’m putting the finishing touches on another film project that is nearing completion, and so that has taken a lot of my time.

Our trip to Dallas was a resounding success, and we got tons of great interview footage with George and some local Photon Warriors.

With the spike in COVID cases, we’ve put additional filming on hold for a short period, but hope to get started again soon once we are able to complete our vaccination series.

In more unpleasant news, at the start of the year I lost my full time job, but have been working freelance to make ends meet. Hopefully this won’t hinder any progress on the film, but I do have to focus on finding new employment, and hope to be working again soon.

With so much of the filming completed, we’re now starting the arduous task of reviewing the transcripts and footage. There are over 200 pages of interview transcripts! Once the review is complete, we start scripting and editing. I’m happy to report though that we are still on track for a December 2021 release.

Also, a huge thanks to the guys at Toy Galaxy, who recently mentioned the film during their episode on Photon. Welcome to everyone who found out about this project from that video.

Thanks again everyone for the support, and keep the light shining!
