A Matt and Khym Update
One of the reasons we can make the films we make is because we have a dedicated and patient group of investors that help fund our work. I’m speaking, of course, of the people who take us up on our pre-order offer for upcoming films.
We started the pre-order program with XANA AND DAX: WHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT. Clever folks jumped on our pre-order offer and got XANA AND DAX for only $12.95.
Some of the folks who pre-ordered DAMON AND HUNTER: DOING IT TOGETHER waited as much as a year. But in the end their patience was rewarded with an award-winning film at a discount price! (How many other no risk* investments double your money in a year or less?)
Now everyone who had the good sense to get in on the ground floor with MATT AND KHYM: BETTER THAN EVER is about to see their “investment” pay a handsome return. The narrative has been sequenced and distilled, the sex scene cut together.
Now the whole thing gets viewed and reviewed, looking for what I call the “flat spots”–places where the rhythm and pace bogs down or stumbles, places where the meaning becomes unfocused and attention drifts. This is the real work of editing, this is what turns a sequence of shots into a film.
Meanwhile, Peggy is working on the box-cover art for MATT AND KHYM. Nothing fancy, no tricks to make you think there’s something in the box that’s not really in there. A nice photo, some nice typography. Like the film itself, it’s all about rhythm and balance. It’s about simply letting the film speak for itself.
And to those still waiting on ASHLEY AND KISHA, you have not been forgotten. Whenever I get stuck on MATT AND KHYM I turn my attention to ASHLEY AND KISHA. It’s going to be a lovely film, well worth the wait.
So with the release of MATT AND KHYM just around the corner, I want to take a minute to thank everyone who has pre-ordered a title from us. Your “investment” helps take a little of the pressure off of things around here and lets us take the time to make these movies the way they need to be made. Without you’d we’d have to be churning them out just like everyone else, and that’s something we’re just not interested in doing, and I don’t think you’d be interested in seeing “churned out movies” either. When you think of it that way, I don’t think there’s any other no risk* investments that pay these kinds of dividends!
*All pre-orders are 100% refundable at any time before they ship, for any reason or for no reason at all. Simply ask, and we’ll happy refund your order.
