MORE VIDEO ADDED

Don't be glum Bianca...there is more video on the website now...don't worry. Yes it is true we have added a few new and exciting tid-bits to the Crackin' The Code Official Movie Web Site. Firstly we have found another silly behind-the-scenes gem. Director, Steve Coker, explains what constitutes joy for him and his crew. You can find it in the Media page under More Video or follow this link. LINK.

Secondly, the first live-action footage of the film itself has been posted. SEE a rough edit of the opening title sequence...SEE Bill as he begins his journey...HEAR Travis say the first "Fuck" of the film's alleged 115 (Probably more). This is a sneak peek folks...and very exciting! I hope you enjoy it. Go to www.crackinthecode.com follow the Media link and view or click the following link. LINK.

NEW VIDEO ADDED TO SITE

Friday, Chris brought me the movie files so I could get to work on logging my picks for performance, and hopefully hasten the editing process by being able to share files via the internet. One tid-bit I found was a video segment shot moments after we wrapped our ninth day of Principle Photography.

I have uploaded it to our movie web site: www.crackinthecode.com.

You can find it under Media/Videos.
John San Nicolas, Jon Ashley Hall, Illya Torres-Garner, Harold Phillips, and myself can be seen commenting on the day as we pack up for the night. Come check it out....Move video to come...as well as the much anticipated live action film trailer.

Crackin' The Code: The On-Line Store

Announcing the most ambitious attempt at marketing ever conceived. We are actually offering movie merchandise before the movie is even finished!!! That's right! No where else will you find such a collection of non-relevant products. High-quality, yet non-relevant products...okay so they are relevant if you were in the film...or worked on the film...and they will become relevant once the film is edited and released...but that shouldn't stop you from being the first to own some of these fabulous products.

Look at Jon Ashley Hall here...he is wearing an ACME Bowling shirt and he is super happy. We have tons of products to choose from and they can all be yours at the click of a button and the clickity clack of a keyboard as you enter in your credit card information.

George Lucas had the right idea...and I want nothing more then to exploit my actors likenesses for cash and fame! Please help me become just like George Lucas...old and rich! Check out the store.

THE OFFICIAL WEB SITE IS UP AND RUNNING!!!!

That's right! After several months of planning and procrastination, the official movie site is up and running...

Here is the link to the site!

www.crackinthecode.com

I hope everyone will get a chance to check it out...but know this...It is still a work in progress.

We still need to upload the BTS pictures, The Screen Shots, and work a bit on the Supporting Cast Page. I am compiling information now to have that done soon...hopefully by the weekend.

Chris and Galvin are working tirelessly (well maybe not tirelessly...they are pretty tired) to get the footage in a form suitable for editing...and we are all feeling like this thing, though huge in scale, will be finished soon and we can all view the final film and Ohhhh and Ahhhhh and pat ourselves on the back for a job well done...then on to the next phase of this thing...Marketing!
Oh my god!

WHO'S THIS "GUY"?

Well he's back by popular demand! Once more "The Guy" makes an appearance in The Code..."The Guy", played by Michael Benson, has to be one of my favorite characters in the film...so much so I actually put him in an additional scene in the movie. I won't ruin it for you, but know that I think it is funny...and anyone who has worked with me as a stage director will tell you that I am sure that "I know funny"!

Here we see "The Guy" relaxing with a delicious PMC...Ah that cool and refreshing premium lager goes so well with a shot of Wild Turkey, doesn't it Guy? I wanted to say that I have had Michael and his lovely wife Bianca in a lot of my short films over the years and they have always come through for me and made their roles memorable. Mike and B are two of Gea's and my favorite people...I just wanted to share that and say, Thanks!

VILLAGE OF THE CODE!!!

So Thursday night we ventured forth to film the, previously ill fated, scene 30! The car chase!! Well it isn't technically a "Car" Chase! It was Illya driving a car and Jon running full bore down the street.
It was an exciting night of shooting since we didn't have permission to film, and my Jeep was festooned with illegal light sources, and Galvin wasn't wearing his seat belt...
We decided to shoot this chase (more truthfully an homage to Ferris Bueller's Day Off) in Multnomah Village, so we packed up the Jeep and rigged it with the Coker-flex V6.0...
INGENIOUS!!!! And it worked like a charm. We got all the footage we needed in like...4 hours! It would have been quicker but, unfortunately, The Village is filled with Gawkers and Looky-Loos. Who knew the place would be so jumping at 10:45 on a weeknight? Onto the weekend...and the final shoot at The Slingshot Lounge.
