Everything's Ready to Go.

Wheph! What a long ride it's been, and we're inching ever closer to the end of it all. Everyone's getting ready to jump on to new projects, as we're tying off the loose ends for this flick; and *everyone* seems to be going their own separate ways to blaze whatever paths they can into the light of the future.

That being said there's still a lot of reason to keep this blog site up and about, and more current than it's ever been by letting everyone know what we're doing, and as we hit our strides heading for the door.

Thank you all for hanging in there, and thank you all for keeping the faith. We won't disappoint, and those who haven't seen the film yet are due to see it very soon at a store near you.

As You Like It.

So it took quite a bit longer to get the packages together than originally expected, and then the initial delay on getting things out, but now finally everything is moving this March 2008.

Just about everything from the first 1,000 has gone out (sorry for those who're still waiting), and we're on top of our production again--yay for us! Which really means super yay for those of you who got in on that action. Unfortunately the rest of you are going to have to wait for someone to pick us up for distro. Moving things through the website proved to be a little too much work for the small team that we'd put together to do it (i.e. me)

The kits and a brand spanking new press release are all headed to NYC, LA, Toronto, and other wonderful places where people have hammered us for press information on the film. I hope you'll start seeing snippets on TV--clips from the final cut of the film.

Once everything gets shipped I'm going to go back to the days of yore and try and return to filling you all in on the trials and tribulations of actually getting this project done.

If you're a distributor and you've go the hots for this project, lemme know, we're ready to go.

Like a Clock Ticking

The countdown is on. We haven't forgotten anyone or anything. The first 1,000 orders have started shipping, so if you're one of the lucky ones who purchased be prepared to receive something in time for the holiday season.

So what's the status so far?

We're working on putting the promotional kits together, and a bit of a mini press tour. Spread the news and let everyone know that they'll be seeing this film before the year is out.

A short note this time, but the next one will be chocked full o' juicy details; it's time to go back into the time machine and start spitting out more stories on how we got this far.

Thanks for hanging in there; it won't be too much longer now.

Almost to the finish line.

The final changes to the film have been compiled and they will be submitted to the studio this week. We just came off the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, so it's going to be short and hard working week to get everything submitted and pumping through the editing machine.

The beast has been asleep for a while, and we've been concentrating on thing things such as presskits, getting the marketing tour ready to roll, and interview schedules...it's been pretty busy to say the least.

The film looks great, and we're anxious for everyone to see it.

For those of you who were lucky enough to be one of the first 1,000 we've decided that those units will start shipping as part of the first manufacturing run, so you'll likely get yours just after the official release date.

Thanks again to everyone who's waited on us. Your time is coming.

Bump, bump bump...

After a lot of careful consideration we have come to realize that we're very close to completion of the production run, and completion of the film, but with everything that's been going on we've decided to hold the release date until December 1, 2007.

This will be the definitive release date, there are no more bumps in the night that will occur since we're right there. Everyone who's ordered an advanced copy will appreciate that we weren't completely happy with some of the special effects--yes there's special effects in the film--and there were a few minor things to fix in the tail end of the film.

We really want to get this right. So I hope you can stand the heat, and continue to wait it out. Everyone's patience is greatly appreciated and I know that it'll be worth the wait for everyone.

Universal Groove starring Corey Haim
Final Release date: December 1, 2007
