Abducted Movie - 2014 - Video q&a #2 June 14th 2013

Hey guys, how are you going? As we said last week we were pretty close to finishing the script, we're happy to say that it's all done now, the second draft. So we've started to send that out to some actors and other people who are on the crew. We've had fantastic meetings with some key creatives, we've been having meetings with DOP's, we've had a music composer come up and that's really exciting, very keen to work with some creatives like that. And Ash and I are heading off to Byron Bay tomorrow to Screenworks to hear the founder of Pozible and that's fantastic considering that we're looking at crowd-funding this film, that's going to be awesome! Yeah definitely. We've had some awesome questions again this week, so we'll get straight into them. The first question comes from Adam Harris, who asks, how did we get the concept of the film? That's a, yeah, that's kind of a whole video in itself I think, Adam. Yeah, very short question, very long answer, Adam. The good news is though that our next two video blogs are going to be dealing specifically kind of around the creation of the story, so we're going to go into that in a lot of detail. So, yeah, the best advice would be to make sure you watch the next two blogs and you'll have the answer perfectly. Bekki Shearer asks, are we doing to do a cameo in the film? Yeah, definitely. Most definitely. I always love kind of popping up somewhere in my films, in my previous ones, I always kind of tried to work hard to make it really difficult for people to spot me, so I don't know whether it'll be the same in this one. Look I've had twenty five years acting experience you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be in it somewhere. So Tamara McLaughlin is asking, who are the supporting characters and what are their age ranges? Look actually, the supporting characters, there's a number of supporting characters and then there's small speaking roles. So if we were to just take the small speaking and the supporting, I would say, right from six year old children, all the way through to kind of eighty, yeah, seventy, eighty year olds. Yeah, someone in their seventies, yeah. It's a pretty big mix like there's people from all walks of life. University age group people, you know children, families, you know. There'll definitely be the opportunity for a lot of different people to be able to audition for those supporting parts. There's a ton of roles. Yeah. There's a ton of roles. Yep. Graham Furness asks, when will we be posting the audition scripts? We are so early into pre-production, that at this stage casting is another couple of months off. So we'll have more on that a little bit closer along to the date. Yep, definitely, in terms of how we'll be casting I think we'll definitely do auditions, but then if people can't make it to those auditions, we'll certainly be accepting kind of video entries and things as well. Alright so Cam March is asking, who would we ideally like to distribute the film? Anyone. Yeah, anyone. At this point as much as we'd love someone like 20th Century Fox or Paramount to come on board, that's probably a bit unrealistic of us to expect at this point in time. I guess just anyone. I look at what happened with Another Earth, I mean a perfect scenario for us would be that at a film festival, it's winning awards and that basically. It had, in that particular example, it had I think it was 20th Century Fox and another big company bidding over the distribution rights for that project. Yeah, and part of the reason I want that isn't from ego, it's because this is a passion project. And so everyone involved, it's really key to me, that they're, that they're passionate. So even the distribution company, I would love for them to be passionate about they want this, you know. And it would be the person who was most passionate who'd get the right sort of distributor.
