Making History

Awesome... I was able to recover all the old blog posts from the old website and post-date them into this blog, so that you, my loyal readers, can peruse the pages of history once more! It was actually kind of a humbling process, since I got to relive all the trials and tribulations of LOE's seemingly endless post-production. It also helped reinforce just how long it's actually been. According to the first blog post, the last day of production was September 22, 2004. I think that's my new deadline for finishing it. September 22, 2007 is a Saturday. That weekend is suddenly looking really good for a premiere...

First Post

So, here's the new 505 Films website. I finally got so infuriated with the old one that I scrapped it myself and built this one old-school style. I've had a couple people remind me lately of the fact that I actually know how to build websites. I even found a pretty cool one I made in 1997. That's ten years ago. I've spent the last couple years waiting for a lot of things to be done for me that I could have been doing myself, which is no way to get a movie done.

Speaking of Land of Entrapment, there really is no excuse for it not being done yet. It's hard (and more than a little disheartening) to believe that we're rapidly approaching the three-year anniversary of production on it. I won't got into the nasty details of what's been (not) happening, but basically things got stalled in the sound mixing process. We're taking a different approach on that now, and I'm confident we'll have the movie done before long.

In fact, my tentative plan right now is to get it done in time for a September premiere. I'll post an update here when I actually get it scheduled. Til then, take a look around the new website. One thing that never got done on the old website was that because of the terrible gallery system it had, we were never able to get all of the Land of Entrapment snapshots uploaded. They're all here now, as well as some shots from the filming of Duke City Nights. Check them out in the "pics" section. Stay tuned for updates!
