Hey Everyone!

Again, I want to apologize for the infrequent updates on our various pages. That’s my own fault. Our team has been hard at work, but I’m a production department of one most of the time, and I haven’t prioritized keeping in contact with all of you as much as I should.

That being said, I am incredibly proud of the progress our team has made over the past months, especially in light of everything going on. Despite an ongoing global pandemic, people working from home, losing jobs, homeschooling, medical emergencies, moving, family deaths, and more, our team has pushed through and persevered. The VFX team knocked out a higher rate of shots than I’m pretty sure we ever have before, and the list of remaining shots is shrinking. Most of the film is done, with mainly just a couple action scenes remaining.

I’d love to take this moment to give a shoutout to some of the talented artists currently working on the project- Quentin Vectan Berbey, Tom Ya, Pablo Nadal, Guillermo Valades, Nathan Collins, Evan Magruder, Max Wright, Luke Duffy, Alyssa Nichoas, Porter Justus, and Martin Bayang!

Outside of that, our composer J. Paul Bourque is almost done with the film, currently working on scoring the last few minutes of the finale. Once he’s done, Paul & cowriter/Remus actor Ben Wessels will be going back through to finalize score elements. I’m currently sitting here working on audio post stuff, which does still have a decent amount of work left, but I’m hoping to be able to dedicate more time to that now moving forward. The final element will be color correction once the VFX team has completed their work.

It has been challenging, our team is entirely comprised of volunteers who are donating their evenings/weekends to working on the film as they’re able, while also juggling families, day jobs, social lives, and more. I spend several hours a day running feedback, organizing assignments, and managing production, but progress is ultimately dependent on our talented artists’ availability, which fluctuates week to week. I want to thank everyone for all of their patience and enthusiasm for this project, and of course all of our artists for all of their hard work. It’s been a long road, longer than any of us ever anticipated, but I’m really proud of how things are looking, and am excited to share it with all of you.
