‘ANHEDONIA‘ is almost complete! In so far as we know how long it will be, the structure is there, and there are only a few minor tweaks to be made. That said, we do have the final sound mix, foley, colour grade, rest of the music to be made, and we of course need to get the trailer made and promote the thing. But the film is watchable at present, and of the five people who have seen it, the responses so far have been beyond encouraging! Personally, I’ve never been more proud of a project I have worked on.
So what’s the bigger plan for the year? You can expect a trailer for the film in a few weeks time, the final cut will be complete end of March and then the release will be mid-April. The plan regarding release is to coincide a crowdfunding campaign to raise the necessary funds for festival submissions and touring the film, meaning those who contribute to the campaign get to see the film in April before we send it off into the world. Those who do contribute will be the only ones able to access the film before our festival run is over later in the year, so there will be a limited window to see the film (this is due to rules regarding premiere status at festivals and issues regarding distribution rights – we won’t bore you with the details.)
The majority of the rest of the year we’ll be spending tirelessly promoting the film and aiming to get sales agents on board for distribution at one of the higher-tier festivals, whilst also building our audience and awareness of the film at the smaller festivals worldwide.
And what of the future beyond the release of ‘ANHEDONIA‘? Well, I have a first draft of a new feature – working title ‘MOTHER SKY‘, but more information regarding that will be released later in the year, and you can expect that to most likely be shot in 2020.
