Kingdom Not So Broken...

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:51:00 -0500

So this is cool.

As we mentioned in our Interactor vid — http://goo.gl/XcVtT — Post-Production on any movie requires Sound Design, Film Transfer, Festival Expenses, Editing, Re-Editing, Color Grading, HDCam Transfers, Music Composition, Music Licensing, Animation, Credits, etc.
The list goes on and on.

Little Indie films like ours’ usually get murdered in this part of the process.
The total required for our Post Production was going to be around 50k.

However —

Thanks to several extremely generous folks who perform all kinds of wonderful services in Post-Pro, John (my wonderful Producer) and I have struck a recent deal — because we appear to have met some heroes as passionate about our movie as we are.

This is such a HUGE relief and a great gift to Broken Kingdom.

Essentially this total has been drastically reduced.
Now we only require 30k total.

Which means that the total we have raised already is well over half that which is required.

Boom!

We are still closing up this deal - but I am so happy.
I wanted to share this with you guys who have so vigilantly waited and supported ‘Broken Kingdom’.

Many of you donated so readily.
I’m always so touched that you are as eager to see it in the world as I am.

You are rock stars.

That is all.

PS - Please continue to dance naked wherever possible and whenever law enforcement is nowhere in sight.

PPS - These 2 images above are me blowing a kiss to awesome people.
Not a personal war against rising nausea.

BLACK AND BLUE

Weeping sky and gypsy bed,
Over streets of all unsaid,
A broken window to a cage,
The emperor of empty page.

You scream anthem to the night,
Out across the moon wet plight,
Vaulting over souls of stone,
Who wait for war and wait alone.

The book we wrote was fast asleep,
I tore that song,
I trampled love,
With dirty little feet.

Wading through the cruel debris,
A blind girl whispers to the sea,
On good ships built of dream and bone,
To sail these shadows of the throne.

Waves will strike the naked day,
I will grieve and look away,
When even good is venom too,
Between the ghost and church of you.

The book we stole was fast asleep,
I tore that song,
I trampled love,
With dirty little feet.

She will steal the mirror mist,
Marching over every kiss,
In every room a savage space,
Where thank you fled with my disgrace.

My hands stained with barren truth,
As sand will fall from royal youth,
Bent beneath that troubled globe,
A prisoner in judge’s robe.

The book we read was fast asleep,
I tore that song,
I trampled love,
With dirty little feet.

Fools will stand in flaming rain,
With open palms on open plains,
As traitors wait with branded brow,
To ravage all and kiss the now.

We’ll play dress up Queens and Kings,
We’ll wage war with diamond rings,
We will carry stone and sling,
We will silence everything.

The book we burned was fast asleep,
I tore that song,
I trampled love.

You make me feel like a natural woman.

You people can't get any sexier.

Yes. I have been out of touch.
**wretched bow of apology**

Busy times at Ridgemont High.

However, I’d like to say thank you to the many who have contributed to Broken Kingdom.

Although we lapsed for a few weeks in there (probably due to my negligence/absence) the money continues to steadily arrive from generous peeps all over the place.

It’s really inspiring and deeply humbling.
This project has been such a massive aspect of my life and the fact that so many strangers are willing to enforce the delivery of this creature into the world, is…kinda…

Bitchin’.
Don’t know what to say, other than —

God Bless and please continue to dance naked wherever applicable.

PS - I love Tumblr so much.

You guys are the greatest. I can’t thank you enough. As I...

You guys are the greatest.

I can’t thank you enough.

As I mentioned in the vid — there are a ton more donations (somehow I received to my company address) which still require to be placed in the Interactor total. We’ve really made a significant climb in the last 2 weeks — It’s been amazing.

Also — because we’ve had folks come to us from Post Production houses with some various offers — it looks as though we’ll be able to take our target down from 50k to around 30k. Which is huge, for us.

We’re getting there. Thanks to you.

Thank you especially to @VampireBrigade, @2manyK9s, @justlynn01, @0rphean, @TVDDelenaFan, @regnilmerM, @SmileforGillies, and @DGilliesOnline.
You guys are endlessly generous to me.

PS - I know that Interactor is down right now. As soon as it is up, we’ll get down and dirty again.

Big Toast.

Immensely grateful to those folks who have not only donated, but who tirelessly publicize the movie and the money necessary for post-production.

I wish I knew how to quit you!! ** Teary-eyed Gyllehaal stammer **

Keep Dancing and God Bless.

Beautiful People —

Here are the details for the Premiere of a film I wrote and Directed - Broken Kingdom.

Friday, 12th August
7.15 pm
Veteran’s Theater
Providence, Rhode Island.

If you are in the neighborhood, come and watch me drink beer and pretend to smile as old people tell me the movie was too loud and violent.

If you know anyone in the neighborhood (the East Coast) you can bully into attending —

Do it.
Don’t negotiate.
People deserve to have a good and enchanting time.
Whether they believe it or not.

I will personally high-five any and all attendees.

I love you all so hard.

PS — Check out the pics below.

This is NOT Broken Kingdom. This is an homage to Venice Beach, CA. I made about 2 years back. Yes, that is Bud Cort. That is a whole other story.
