Hey guys!

In honor of Dinosaur Comics' Zombie Vampire/Vampire Zombie comic, we put together a little preview of that exact interaction that happens in our movie. We'll try to get a few more little "sneak peeks" before our February release (yes, in honor of Abe Lincoln's 200th birthday!).

Enjoy!

Hello all,

Unless you were redirected here from it, you may not know we just launched a "proper" website. The quotation marks are extra appropriate as the new moniker for The Transient's online presence is


www.killvampirelincoln.com


We were probably going to go with something more standardized like "transientmovie.com" but godaddy must have sold its domain name searches as they have been known to do, and someone bought it out from under us a week after checking its availability.

In other news, we made it into the Mid Ohio Comic Con Film Festival, Columbus Ohio, Oct 4-5. Still waiting to see if we pulled any awards, but should be neat either way.
This is the only fest we have pending right now, and it looks a little quiet in the festival submission circuits until late October-Early November, but then we'll be trying to get into all sorts of places.

Okay, time to make sure that the cut for this weekend won't blow up or melt in DVD players, or do something else exciting when it comes to show this Sunday.

Chris!

PS we are showing this weekend in Springfield! See below news post if you somehow read this in the next 3 days!

Hey everybody!


It's my first post here, and I'm so excited that I get to be the one to break the awesome news.

Not only were we accepted to the Route 66 Film Festival, we actually WON an award.  That's right; The Transient has won the "Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Award."

The festival is going to be September 20-21 at the Hoogland Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Springfield, and The Transient will be screening Sunday night around 6 PM.  More information about the festival can be found at the Route 66 Film Festival website and ticketing information can be found at the Hoogland Center website.

We really hope to have a big crowd of supporters, and I think we'll try to caravan from Champaign, so contact Chris or I if you'd like to share a ride from Champaign to Springfield that weekend.

We'll be having a Champaign premiere of the movie soon, and we'll definitely be showing it at both the Illini Union Late Nighter and the first Illinites on campus.  Will have more info on further showings soon!

Thanks for your continued support...I'm still not sure how the heck this movie got made, and somehow we've won an award.  We could not have done this without our cast, crew, and supporters.  THANKS!

See normally, a post with that title would be proceeded by a post along the lines of "Editing is completely actually done!"

While that may not be *exactly* the case, we do have a pretty darn solid cut together with only minor audio levels left to adjust for different TVs and a few preproduced canned, bland, parts of the score to hopefully be replaced by composed music.

We mailed off to the Route 66 Film Festival in Springfield, taking a chance and entering the "Films about Lincoln or set in Lincoln's era" category.

Normally I'm frugal enough to not enter a fest's last-minute-inflated-for-their-trouble deadline but we absolutely had to enter this one for obvious reasons. Hope the semi-roughness doesn't throw us out the window.

Anyway, the premiere is being scheduled for pre summer, and then again near the first of the year on campus with IFV.

Cross your fingers for luck!

This weekend we're finishing photography for the movie! *cough*betterlatethannever*cough*

ANYway, after that all thats left is scrounging up another composer or two, a solid week of non-music sound design, color correction, final tweaking, and off to festivals we go!

So yeah, keep an eye out!
