We are happy to announce that we are now parents: Last night at 11:30, Bryce gave birth to a short film! After an extended labor the professionals welcomed the new arrival into the world with all the pomp and circumstance expected the harbringer of the apocalypse. At a petite 12 minutes, the proud parent decided to name the little guy Matches. We hope to have a little something to celebrate this joyus occation soon.
Congrats to Bryce; great job to the post production team!

For the Good and True
Celebrate, oh wanting masses. Here's a bone, a tid-bit if you will for all the folks who have been asking about The Paranormalists. This making-of featurette will be featured on the DVD for the short, but we thought we would toss it up here for those of you interested enough to check it out. So please, take a gander and let us know what you think.
Good news on the Matches front; after a spirited session last night with his sound designer, Bryce tells us that the picture is nearly finished.
And the people rejoiced.

Branching Out
When the three of us got together and decided to create tomorrow the world, we had a few set goals in mind: make good movies, propogate a few good ideas, and make our best effort at filling the web with sites devoted to ourselves.
Well those first two goals might be a ways off, but I'm happy to report that TtW is one step closer to web domination (wedomination) with the launching of our own myspace site. For those of you not savey with the interweb, let me break it down for you. Myspace is this new service that allows people who weren't hugged enough as kids, chosen last to play on the kick ball team, or have mommy and daddy issues to act out in a totally anonymus way. No longer do you have ACTUALLY become a cutter to get your parent's attention; now you can just play one on the internet. Since we also have our own problems with attention (or lack there of) it seemed like this myspace thing was made for us.
So there you have it. Big news, yes?
Oh, yeah Matches is nearing completition and The Paranormalists is still working out some bugs on sound.

UPDATE
It's been a while, so it's time for everyone's favorite game - Update Our Mom's! All you need in order to play is a website that only your mom reads. Who's ready?
The picture has locked on The Paranormalists. Right now we are searching for a sound editor to create some magic with our haunted house. We are out to several accoplished friends and friends of friends, and it's our hope to have the picture wrapped by the end of October. I hope I didn't just jinx it. I asked Bryce if he had anything he'd like to share about Matches, but all I got was a finger.
I'll let you decide which one.
The Brain Trust here is hard at work on a few promising short projects, some of which might go into production within the next month. It is our hope that these flicks will be shorter then Matches and The Paranormalists and primarily live online, either here or on our myspace page. I'll be sure to update you on the status of these guys as soon as we get something committed to tape.
Lastly, but not leastly...leastly is that a...never mind...I am happy to report that we have been mentioned on a website that we didn't write. Yes that's right folks, if you follow this link, you will find yourself at the web home of friends of the family Chad, Matt, and Rob. Please check out their webpage and bask in the glory of the link they posted to our webpage.

Point Counter Point with Matt and Bryce
Greetings interneters and welcome to Tomorrow The World's own Point-Counterpoint forum, The Director's Corner. Here, Byrce and I (and Jon if he ever gets around to directing anything) will present a frank and open discussion of topics relevant to the small budget short film producer/maker. To kick things off we will be talking about developing an idea.
Matt:
Ideas are what this business is all about, but where do they come from? This is a question I've asked myself time and time again. Well, pull up a chair mon frere it's time for me to drop some learning on you; ideas are everywhere. That's right, there is no magic about it at all as some (read:writers) would have you believe. Walking in to work today I was hit with a hundred ideas for short films. A real director is a person who can take this banal life experiences and add what I like to call The Pazzazz in order to punch things up. Picture this: a guy get's up, goes to work, and when he get's there he has to use a shakey old elevator. Pretty standard, right? What if when the elevator doors open he's not at work at all, but in the seventh circle of hell!? He obviously got off on the wrong floor, right? Well he's going to have to fight his way out, maybe save some one…oh his mom…make it his mom, for dramas sake, you know. Suddenly that really basic idea is looking like a run away internet sensation. So now that you have your idea you are going to need someone to get it all on paper, a secretary, or note taker that can take this awesome idea and flush it out, anyone will do because if the idea is good enough an ape could write the dialoge. If you look at your idea and that isn't true, well then it looks like you still have some work to do.
Bryce:
Oh Matthew, Matthew, Matthew. Pazzazz is crap and you know it. If you have an idea you need to develop it from the ground up like a house, because as we all know a house without a good, sound structure and foundation will crumble in a heap and pretty soon you realize you left your wife and kids inside and you're screwed. Which could be good or bad depending on how you're feeling at the time. But in the world of movies it's a sure fire recipe for disastrous crap. If you don't spend time developing or even collaborating on interesting characters, conflict, dialogue, no matter how much you dress it up with "Pazzazz" you'll have a horrible movie. I will allow that people sometimes like big pieces of shit on screen to sit and stuff food in their faces, I.E. Transformers, Spiderman 3, basically the whole summer 07 season, but most everyone will tell you the story sucked. They may even go so far as to say who cares about the story. Well I do Sancho, I do! If you have an idea, you should write it, nurture it, develop it, make it your own. Only then after the grueling process that is writing and developing can you truly start to feel you possibly have a great film on your hands. By the way, apes have no business writing dialogue, unless of course they're writing for the CW. Well then it all makes sense.

A Shout Out
These days anyone with a camera and an internet connection can create short (or long as the case may be) content. There are thousands of posters out there, all hawking their product and hoping to gleen a little bit of net stardom for themselves. Some are good, many are bad. Well I wanted to clue you into a trio of guys who are producing some very funny short material...if you have a few minutes swing over to myspace and check out Chad, Matt, and Rob. The bits are short, sweet, and funny. Bryce and I have had the chance to work with them on two shorts (crewing as camera and sound) and it's been a lot of fun.

New Cut!
And hello there.
This past weekend brought many things to the city of angels; sweltering triple digit heat, still, humid air, and brush fires. Despite these harbingers of apocalypse we had cause to celebrate at TTW with the delivery of a new cut of The Paranormalists. It's looking good and while we still have a little work to do on the picture we are ever closer to finished.
News from our composer has me expecting the score by the end of the week. Let's keep the momentum going!
