What is happening with CROCKDALE?

I have been hearing the above question alot recently, so I wanted to be able to answer it to everyone. If Crockdale was a video game, it would be on "pause". The final edit is complete (which is more or less a directors cut), but the audio and coloring still need to be "tweaked", before it's ready for consumption. I will say, however, I'm extremely proud with the final product, considering it was my freshman foray into feature filmmaking with an insanely small budget.

With that said, I'm talking with various sound mixers/designers and will hopefully have one pinned down by mid-July. Once I find out how long this will take (or basically, how bad I f'ed up the audio), I will have a better understanding when the film will be ready.

The explanation, without going into too much detail, there were financial set-backs, schedule issues, re-shoots and technical problems that have prolonged the post production process. Things that were out of our control, but we had to end up fixing. But, with a talented cast and crew, we pulled it off like champs. So, not to fear, I'm slowly pulling us out of the dark and everyone will be able to see Crockdale before 2011. With time in-between jobs, I will have another trailer, poster (to fix a problem with the old one) and a clip before we get the feature released.

Anyway, among other things, I will post more about how the Crockdale process is coming and anything else that comes my way.
