Status Update

Well, it’s been a while! Glad to say it’s because we’ve been busy. Here’s the status of our current works-in-progress, for anyone who is wondering:

What Light Remains – is currently on Jayson’s editing desk. We hear that his girlfriend is helping him. Estimated date of completion is approximately sometime in the future.

The Cthulhu Chronicles – is also in the can, and on Eric’s editing desk. He’s getting set up for post audio work and is aiming for completing by winter’s end.

Tin Can – is about 50% complete. Left to shoot are all of the soundstage scenes. We are hoping to have those done by the end of November.

Our future plans currently entail the completion of these three projects, followed by instantaneous fame and fortune. (Or maybe a festival or two).

A Weekend in Springfield

Steve Maas — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 13:00:19 +0000

For some of our final days of production on The Cthulhu Chronicles, we spent a weekend in Springfield, Vermont. It was an incredible three days of hard work, long hours, rough conditions and unforgiving weather, but in the end we accomplished something that we think is amazing. Here are just a few images from that weekend.

Cthulhu Chronicles Update

Steve Maas — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:42:44 +0000

Principal photography on The Cthulhu Chronicles, CMP’s latest feature film production, is about 80% complete. We have a few more shooting days in early January before it’s all in the can (or the hard drive, as it were). It’s been an amazing journey so far – and a busy one, which is why updates have been few and far between.

Over the next few days, we hope to make up for that somewhat by posting some production stills from November. Lots of secrets are revealed in these pictures for those who pay attention to detail, so watch closely…

To start things off, here are some shots from our auditions and from day 2 of production.

LNS to Host Comedic Gubernatorial Debate

Steve Maas — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:22:46 +0000

Governor Jim Douglas and gubernatorial hopeful Anthony Pollina will debate each other in comedic style on Late Night with Tim Kavanagh at this Thursday evening’s taping of the show scheduled to air on October 25.

The format of the debate will be comedic with a series of serious and non-serious questions for each candidate. “I really think that this is the best way to see the human side of each candidate,” said Tim Kavanagh, host and creator of Late Night Saturday. “We have come up with some really funny questions that will highlight each candidate’s unique personality.”

Democratic candidate Gaye Symington was also invited, but declined the invitation.

The taping begins at 7:00 pm in the Alumni Auditorium at Champlain College on Thursday, October 16, 2008. Tickets are free and available by logging on to www.latenightsaturday.com.
