-- CYNICALMAN MOVIE NEWS UPDATES --

NOVEMBER 2009
Jim Mackey, Gary Freeman and I spent a long afternoon scanning all 417 pages of the movie storyboards. Now we can print out extra copies. The plan is to cut the pages apart and re-arrange the shots in shooting order. This will also make organizing the lists of props, locations and costumes much easier.

The Character Bio PDF has been updated with pictures of all the actors cast in the speaking roles. Click here to take a look!

Gary Freeman and I went through the script and storyboards and added scene numbers to everything.

I finished drawing the storyboards for the whole movie. It's around 1,260 shots. I never knew making a movie would take so much paper!

AUGUST 2009
I took time off from storyboarding the movie to make some script revisions.. John Q. Cynicle, Edie Haskell, Lizard Girl, Lone Shark and Diogenes all have new scenes. All the zombies' roles have stayed the same. Cast members will get a new PDF of the script as soon as it's done being proofread.

I'm back to storyboarding again and I'm about two thirds of the way through the script. Once this is done it will give us a better idea what we'll need in terms of costumes, props and locations.

The producers and crew have decided to push back the start of shooting til spring to give us more time to work on preproduction. There will be a casting call in September for any of the parts we haven't cast already. x

JULY 2009
I've prepared a Character Bio Sheet that lists all the main characters, supporting roles and bit parts in the movie. It also indicates which roles we've cast already and which ones we need actors for still. It's still a work in progress. Email me to get a PDF of the current version.

JUNE 2009
Gary Freeman and I are making fnal revisions to the script using feedback from Suzanne Baumann and Jim Mackey. I'm working on storyboarding the entire movie.
 
Leah Chamblee is creating the list of props for the movie.
