Hey everyone, it’s been a while since the last update and we’ve got some exciting news to report.

I am pleased to announce that the sc-fi/action film convention VisionCon 2010 has accepted The Disk: Hard Target and Code Zero into their local film showcase. Since 1990, Springfield, Missouri has been the host of Visioncon- an event that has celebrated the pop-culture genres of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and action genre. Other films featured in the festival include Pirate Picture’s Shadowland, Dark Road and The Sessions. The Disk marathon will start at 2:39 pm on Saturday January 23rd with Hard Target screening first, followed by the sequel Code Zero. Members of Corner Film Productions will be in attendance to answer questions and join in a panel discussion about independent filmmaking. You can visit the official VisionCon website here: http://www.visioncon.net/ to learn more about the festival and book tickets. There will be a special sneak preview for Casualties of the State before the screening and Disk DVDs, posters and CDs will be available for purchase throughout the weekend!

This is an exciting opportunity for Corner Film Productions and will represent the first time both Disk films will be available to be viewed back-to-back! If you’ve only seen one Disk movie, then you don’t know the whole story. If you are available from January 22-24, stop on by the convention and help support us and other local St. Louis filmmakers. I’m sure it’ll be a blast.

In other news, post-production is about to begin for ‘Casualties of the State’ along with pickup and second unit shoots throughout the coming weeks. Jeremy is currently still in London but will be returning next week to join Alex, Elly and Alan along with the rest of the CFP team to continue work on what is sure to be CFP’s best film yet!

That’s all for now. Until next time, keep things secure!

Production on Casualties of the State (formery Lucien) is in full swing. Filming began on May 22 and will continue throughout July.

We now have a presence on Facebook and MySpace as well so please see the links below to see production photos, videos, and comments from the cast and crew.

The film is already starting to bring in media attention as well. The first article comes from the Webster-Kirkwood Times and can be viewed here.

Hello Again,

It is now Fall 2008 and while Jeremy is working on Foley and ADR, and Alex is working on SFX, Alan has picked up the writing torch and is starting to compile his ideas for next year’s movie. Codenamed The Grand Inquisitor it looks like its going to be a wonderful thriller with many twists and turns in store for the audience. The Cast for the next upcoming movie looks to be undecided as of yet, but I’m sure that it will be decided once everything has been written.

In further new Jeremy has decided that next year we are going to be shooting HD, because in general the overall image is better than most “pro-sumer” level SD camera’s.

It has been a long time since the last update for everyone, but principal photography was finished exactly two weeks ago.  Jeremy has been busy in Wisconsin editing during his vacation, meanwhile Alex has been busy trying to dust-bust several key scenes that are atrocious. Jeremy intends on getting home on either the 12th or 13th and shot pick-ups that were missed and start ADR recording.

Jeremy and Alex have started discussing next years preparations including entering the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase and next year’s production.

The wrap party is going to be next Saturday– planned picnic followed by the release of a cast exclusive preview/trailer.

Last Sunday (a week ago today) C(F)P received a wonderful donation from awesome donor (we must keep unnamed until permission is granted, I doubt it will) of two of the most beautiful 16mm film camera I have laid eyes on. Two Bolex 16mm camera circa 1974 and 76. Both are in working condition though the electric is a tad on the testy side. During this past weekend Tom, our DP, was playing with the 400ft of film that came with it (we doubt its good, but who knows.) Hopefully Corner Productions will be able to at least use some of this incredible medium to shoot, and who knows, maybe we’ll be able to team up with slightly larger production groups.
