Never Mind The Bolex

dimestorefilms:

The more we write on our feature, the more this notebook resembles the one from Seven.

It doesn’t help that my handwriting also looks like a serial killer’s.

I recently started a tumblr for our (Mine and Hunter’s) filmmaking moniker DimeStore Films. Our slick new website is almost done and when it is this tumblr will be integrated into it.

It might not be much now but it’ll grow into a beautiful monument to frivolity and independent filmmaking. Please give us a follow to see new short films, musings, and other DimeStore related news.

Origins

idontgetrunnershigh:

I just finished reading Christian and Hunter’s draft script. In reality I could have finished it all in one day because it was simply just that good, but then what would I have done this morning? I knew where all the characters came from, and the references from real life drew me in deeply to the story. As it stands, the script would make an excellent piece of fiction, but perhaps since I know them both well, or because they are actually very good writers I could see how they would shoot this film in my head. It looked amazing. It is peppered with references to pop culture of the 90s which I sincerely hope I won’t be the only one to pick up on, although I suspect I might be. My name is also used, which brought a smile to my face.

Long story short, it had my laughing like an idiot in my cube while the rest of the office was quiet. My only questions is which character was I…? I mean you’re best friend should obviously fit into some archetypal role here. Was it the guy with the cake… damn I knew it.

Aw shucks.

I’m in the picture business, I make pictures

We just got back from our meeting with the producers/production company that liked out script. While trying not get ahead of ourselves, we’re happy to say that they want to move forward with it and will be sending us a contract along with reviewing our second draft in the coming month.

Needless to say, this is huge for us and tonight, we’re celebrating this victory.

Ya gotta have a plan and ya gotta have kick ass lightning bolts.

We’ve got a lot on our plate this year (in no particular order) but you can’t say we aren’t making a dent. Look for our new(ish) short film, the Twilight Zone inspired “A Sip From A Certain Fountain”, next month and for all those in Chicago, you will be invited to the premiere party/screening for it in the near future (we’re looking at the last two weekends of February as our options).

DimeStore Films, GO!

She looks real sexy printed and three hole punched.

Now to send her off to the production company that’s interested in reading it and on to the second draft.

Finally reached page 100 on our feature script (Tentativley titled “The Origins of Wit and Humor”)!

So close to having the first draft knocked out.

The find that started it all.

While our script is not an adaptation of this book in any way, the book itself plays a pivotal role in it. We also bit the title…which we’ll probably have to change so we don’t get sued by Mr. Rapp.
