NEW TEASER!! WOO HOO!!

Sorry guys & gals - it's been awhile and I've been locked up in my room editing for hours on end. However, I must admit that maybe I'm taking the artist's mentality when I feel that what I have right now isn't right. In other words, I could be my own harshest critic, BUT I could also be looking at the same footage over and over and over (AND over) again that it's making me lose a sense of what works and what doesn't. I still need to change some major things around on the editing board, but I will say that the timeline is still looking to be for around June or July. I do NOT want to pass the summer without a complete film! I'll assure you that.

On a higher end note, I did complete a second teaser to the film as I've been knee deep in film footage. Please check it out here or click on the following link:
