We here at Positronic Films have completed a fantastic little western that will do for LGSFP 2009 what "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" did for a little film festival in Utah.

This has been a heck of a wild ride. I have been writing screenplays for over seven years, and have made a couple of little shorts. However this was the first time that I ever had to plan and execute. Wow! We planned in advance and had a finished script, storyboard and production schedule a week in advance. We were fortunate to get Nathan Smutz for our secondary actor and helper and he was invaluable to our team.

We shot in over 20 locations around the valley. We ended up with 167 clips of footage, almost 20 GB of data, shot on a ten-year-old Sony Handycam. I have recieved a total of five hours of sleep in the last two nights, and that was a luxury I almost couldn't afford.

Well, I will add more about this later today. Fratello del Mago has just finished rendering and it's ready to be in transit for delivery.

We over at Positronic Films have spent the weekend happy that we don't have to worry about sound editing and sad since that is our background. We also spent the weekend trying to find a single American film in the "genre"of silent movie made since Mel Brooks mocked the era back in 1976. I finally discovered where all the silent movies are, and there are many thousands of them that have been made in America. Unfortunately, they have all been produced by MTV and VH1. The other good thing about being assigned a non-genre as a genre is that we can do any actual genre for our film. So the real question then is how to squeeze in between The Big/Collander in this epic battle for king-of-the-bloody-experimental-surprisingly-quiet-hill.
