Jason's new film project - Searching for Sonny

[allegrita]

Wow. The things actors do for their art! If he was in it, you can bet it was funny...

An update on the film:

- Although production was originally scheduled to wrap on Saturday, June 5, they've been shooting a few last scenes the past couple of days.

- They are currently at 1925 Facebook fans and would really like to hit the 2000 mark before the end of production this week.

- With 52 days to go, the Kickstarter.com project (Link) has $6,485 pledged out of the $10,000 needed . Unfortunately, the way Kickstarter works, it's an "all or nothing" proposition. If they don't meet their goal, then none of the pledges are billed and they get nothing.



And now, for your viewing pleasure, a couple of nice shots from Day 9:

A great shot illustrating just how much an actor has to tune out when delivering a performance...

*sobs* I gave in, and posted to the Moonlight Slash Community. They're so close to making it to 2000 members, it was the last place I had left to spread the word, and there's more than 200 members there, many of whom are Jason Fans. Damn it was hard to do though, I feel like I need to go jump in a shower and scrub away this icky feeling, I hate, hate, HATE bringing actor stuff into my world.

edited to add: I'm going to leave the post up just long enough for it to register on community members friends lists, and then I'm going to take it down. I think that's a good compromise. I feel a bit better now.

From Nick, via FB and Twitter:

Nick Kocher I refuse to believe this is the last day of filming for Searching For Sonny. I refuse.

[allegrita]

*sniffle* That is really sweet! They've really bonded...

[darkstarrising]

this was probably stated way back in the thread somewhere, but does anyone know when they expect to release the film?

[Lilly]

dsr - They were originally talking about Spring 2011. A lot will depend on finding a distributor, though. I would expect it will show up at film festivals significantly before that.

I just want to publicly thank Lilly for keeping me up to date on this film! Yes, I've done the s4s facebook, twitter, and even kickback things... but confess that I don't take the time to read/follow like I should. Instead I've been relying on Lilly to tell me what's happening and when. Thank you, Lilly!!
