The trailers are ready! HD versions now available too!
The theatrical trailer is more traditional- blazing fast, full of punchlines, and contains every funny part from the movie. (Don't worry though- we ran the script through a Laugh Calculator and it totaled 257 LOL's. This trailer only has 12.) If you're strapped for time, watch this one.
The promo trailer was created to exemplify the style and pacing of the feature. Thus the length. And the slower pace. And, and the credits. Now that I think about it, it's not really a trailer at all. I probably should've called it something else, but it's far too late for that now.
Enjoy!

Trailer in the can!
Last Friday, we knocked out all eight gut-busting pages for the promotional trailer. It was totally awesome. People were a little nervous; "It's Fri the 13th lol." I reassured them that I didn't believe in luck- good or bad, and promptly administered swift kicks to the groin to anyone who didn't share my optimism. Needless to say, we nailed the trailer without a hitch, and as I take a break from editing to post this, my sides are still sore from laughing. Ha! Excitement.
The moral of the story is: I actually do believe in luck, by this definition: being prepared for opportunity when it comes (and kicks you in the nuts).

Casting Call 1/2
The first casting call was a HUGE success. There were SO many amazing, talented people. I was blown away. I kept having to bite my tongue during auditions to keep from laughing (in a good way; with people, not at them), and yada yada yada, everything still tastes like rubber.
A special thank you to all who made this day rad.
Check out pics here!
If you missed the first call, there's still one more:
SATURDAY THE 24TH, 12PM-2PM, same place- 5th & A Eureka (in the Moore's Sleepworld building)

OPEN CASTING CALL annoucement!
SYNOPSIS: The Making Of is a mockumentary that documents the trials and tribulations of novice producer Tom Banks and his ragtag film crew as they struggle to make a movie. The sole financier of the movie, Tom's uncle Marvin, is a hyper-frugal control freak. Even though his intentions are good, his unexpected budget-cutting ends up crippling the film. As the production spirals ever downward, Tom begins to wonder if his dream will ever be achieved. The Making Of chronicles the making of a movie that never gets made.
This is writer/director Matt St. Charles' second feature. His first, Remote Control Grandpa, is totally awesome and you can check it out at www.remotecontrolgrandpa.com
