Mike and I spent the better portion of last night trimming the fat on the Summer School edit and getting it prepped for the next screening. I'm still working on the FX post, Mike is slapping the sound around and Lance is jumping the hoops to get a real screening possibly in a local theatre.
From now on I'm just going to dump the latests news for Summer School into here. Feel free to post comments and questions.
Any idea what date the next screening will be?
[Edit- Duh. Should've read the front page. Sorry for making such a lame-o first post. ~Sara]
Just in case people miss it on the front page (Hey it happens to everybody sometimes) ctrl+C ctrl+V:
When: 3pm Sunday April 2nd 2006
Where: Oak Street Cinema
What: Summer School Sneak Preview
How Much: $3.00 no tax either
Why: Real theatre, real seats, real crowd, real good damn time for all.
For whatever reason I decided to enter the 7th level of hell and setup a myspace account for Random Creatureface Films. If you have a strong constitution or have been hiding the secret shame of your own myspace account its right here:

I think I might need to bath in bleach...
hahaha...hahahahhaa....HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA!! !!!
burn in myspace!
Just for the curious parties planning to attend on the 2nd.
Summer School, if it was rated by the MPAA would probably be a hard R. There is no nudity within the film but there is plenty of profanity and gore. Don't bring your babies to this one.
And the grass roots pimping begins. Mike made us up some sweet little promo posters and we'll be running around St. Patty's day slamming these things up around the Twin Cities. If you see one, I know they look sweet and all but, don't tear it down. Stand by it nodding your and speaking very loudly so all around you can hear, "Three dollars is a damn fine price for that level of entertainment. Why I'd be a complete fool to pass this rare feast for the senses. A complete fool indeed." Then laugh like a hyena and run of screaming. The bigger the public spectacle the better.
OR
Just, ya know, tell your friends about it.
For you more adventurous types you can email Mike (mike@randomcreatureface.com)and he'll send you a pdf of the posters. You can print out a bunch and hand them out to your buds, wallpaper your room with them, make a really bitchin pirate hat, or attend the screening wearing a fine three piece suit made entirely of promo posters. You'd be all the rage this season.
Kiss me I'm randomly creaturefaced!
it'll only cost $3 bucks to get in! =P
I won't be back in Minneapolis in time to see your screening, but let me know if it will play at another time anywhere else.
Let the count down begin:
5 days remaining
3 days remaining
And as Mike noted SET YOUR CLOCKS AN HOUR AHEAD 2AM SUNDAY. Now, who wants a Tshirt?
2 days remaining
Note: I just noticed we got a blurb on the Volume One website

Neato burrito.
awww no...i didn't realize it was the beginning of daylight saving time this weekend...one less hour to wait for the sneak preview? ^^
btw, do you have women's tshirts or just men's? =D
HOLY SHIT 1 day remains!
We will have shirts in S,M,L and XL. I'm pretty sure one of those will cover either sex.
SUPER COUNT DOWN14.5 Hours!
and...it's over with. every one of my peeps said they liked it. only one of them is likely to be nice and say that kind of thing just to be polite. therefore, i will call the sneak preview a success. we'll see what the RCF boys have to say.
I have to say it was an amazing turn out. I was very excited even if I'd been up for 36 hours straight, with Mike, trying to finish the mix and color correction before the show. Hopefully it will only get better as we take it around to showings and festivals.
when're the next shows?!
June? Possibly.... I dunno. Ask Lance.
what? i thought the potential eau claire and hamline shows were gonna be earlier...?
Hamline show would be earlier, possibly end of May. EC show is dependent upon a deal between Lance and VolumeOne.
So maybe, JUST MAYBE. The myspace account wasn't such a bad idea:

Hey Summer School is up on IMDB! Check it out!!!
Holy Crap is that super inaccurate but awesome.
It seems to have merged our film with the remake of the 80's comedy. I sure don't remember any of these guys helping out:
Jordan Kerner .... producer
Paul Neesan .... executive producer
Writing credits (in alphabetical order)
Kyle Pennekamp
Scott Turpel
Oh well we can clear that up later.
Lance, Steve and I went to the Fangoria Weekend of Horror in Chicago and came back with one hell of a quote for Summer School. Check it out.
Mr. Troma himself, Lloyd Kaufman, Steve, me, and some random Troma teamsters (check out my hand. Ha!):
Here's the awesome quote:
And one of Steve with Pinhead Doug Bradley:
Summer School is up for 3 new awards!
B-Movie Fest
It's nominated for Best Editing, Best Director(s), and Best Feature. Guess we're going to New York!
Good Luck in New York Guys!
The film is fantastic and you should do well!
It's gonna kill me that you'll be so close and I won't be able to see you!
It makes me sad. :(
And if that makes a me a "girl" then so be it! :P
Wow, somebody other than us using the forums. Amazing!!
Anyway, its not like you have 5 kids to take care of. You can just cruise on out to NY with no worries.
I hope we can win maybe one award this time. ;P
