Update

We're still working. Personal issues has limited the amount of time I can spend on the film. We will still be done before the year is up. Thanks so much to everyone who have supported us, it won't be much longer.

Update

Still editing. We're working very hard to get finished. Cross your fingers, it'll happen soon.

For giggles...

Hey people-

Normally I wouldn't promote my friends or other projects here but something has come to my attention worth sharing. Garland Gallaspy, our lone crew member on the Silkworm movie, has finally garnered some national attention thanks to country singer, Martina McBride. Basically Garland runs around downtown Nashville and yells the name of her new record at strangers. In a word, brilliant.





Now that is major label loot well spent. I suggest not buying this record but if you want to scream "shine" at people in a yellow outfit, I wholeheartedly endorse that kind of behavior.

Also, on the weirder side, here's the first in a series of internet shorts I've been working on with a very loose collective of friends. There's a song used in it very briefly that some of you may (or may not) recognize. This is my acting debut, playing the highly coveted "irritated roommate" role. Enjoy!

More Silkworm news to come soon...

Status Update

Just wanted to let everybody know where I am with the film...

We're still on schedule for the rough cut. I'm hoping to have it ready by April but there will be much more post production to do after that. Once the cut is done, we should be able to move pretty quickly on these final things. As soon as there is a date for release I will certainly let you all know.

Throughout the editing process, I've realized that there is some much worthy extra footage. If I have any say in it (which I should) the DVD will be LOADED. More details on that when it's a reality.

Thanks to everyone who remains interested in this project. It's been a long time in the making and it's very encouraging to know that we have your support.

THANKS AGAIN
Seth

Still Editing

hello everyone-

Unfortunately, I am still editing despite our planned deadline of Dec. 31st. As much as I would have liked to be done, we cannot rush this film. We are now hoping to be finished in the next three or four months. We are much closer than we've ever been.

We've launched the new website although we've gotten some complaints that the layout doesn't work on some web browsers. If this is the case for you, we greatly apologize. The important thing is the information is there. Check out the timeline to see why it's taken us almost three years to get to this point.

Thanks to everyone for being so patient with us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Seth

Editing

Just wanted to let everyone know I have been editing day in/day out since the last post. We are about halfway done and I am very proud of what it's turning into. We are still aiming to be finished by the end of the year.

We've received many donations over the last couple weeks. Thanks again to these kind people and everyone else who has donated in the past, this movie would be completely impossible without your help.

We'll be launching a new redesigned website within the next few weeks with lots of new information about the film and the band. Stay tuned.

Chicago- Pitchfork Festival

Hey kids-

The editing stands at about 35 minutes. I took a break last weekend to interview Clint Conley (Mission of Burma) at the 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival. The night before, we got to see Bottomless Pit play at Schuba's with the Kadane Brothers. They were astounding. I only saw SKWM once so anytime seeing these guys play is an event for me. They have a new record available at the Bottomless Pit site.

Anyway, I spent the whole night drinking and chatting with SKWM folk and left feeling very inspired about the movie

The next morning, I met up with Garland and Shawn and headed over to the Pitchfork Festival to interview Clint. (Normally, this is where I would put a qoute or a video but it's too late in the game to give out freebies anymore. Sorry.) As soon as we finished, we ran out in to the crowd and watched Mission of Burma play their debut LP "VS" from beginning to end. I jumped around like a little girl, shouting and nodding until my neck felt like it was going to break. Very few shows have dragged this kind of behavior out of me. Needless to say, I was happy to be there.

Now, I'm back in Nashville and there is too much work to do to keep rambling on this blog. Stay Tuned.
