More Post-Production Crew

Rounding out the post-production team for Stand Firm we are excited to have Barrett Kaufman returning as the colorist for the film. Barrett did amazing work on Crave , especially with giving the dream sequences a very different feel from the rest of the film. We can't wait to work with him. Director Micah Versemann is also helping with post-production handling the edit of the film as well as the couple of minor visual effects for the film.

Welcome the Post-Production Crew

Now that we have a picture lock on Stand Firm, its time for the rest of the post-production crew to begin their work. We are excited to have both Zachary Horner and Luke Guenot returning to work with us on the second part of the Crave Trilogy. Just like with Crave Zachary will be creating the musical score and Luke will be crafting the sound design. We can't wait to hear the finished product.

It's A Wrap

Image
It's A Wrap! That is a phrase that was hard to believe we were finally hearing this past week as we wrapped filming on Stand Firm, the second part of the Crave Trilogy. Along with filming Stand Firm, we also shot select scenes from Freely Given, the third part of the trilogy. This allowed us to wrap a number of cast and locations this time around instead of having to bring them back for another filming session.  We had an incredible team of cast and crew from 11 different states helping us on the shoot and we can't wait to share more with you about the film through the post-production process.
