Presenting: Booth Girls!

Tomorrow The World is proud to announce the completion of principal photography for our latest short project, Booth Girls. Written and directed by long time TtW collaborator Adam Mallinger, the story follows bright-eyed Emily during her first day of work as a booth girl at a comics convention. Throughout the day Emily is faced with crazed fans, leering weirdoes, power mad staff, and of course a cast of colorful spokes models all with their own unique take on working the convention floor.

The cast of Booth Girls includes Jen Nikolaisen, Courtnee Draper, Kelsey Crane, Gena Shaw, and Adam Wylie as Comic Con Staffer Wil.

Shot over two days, the production had its fair share of challenges from creating a unique look for each of the booth girls to building and staffing a busy pop culture convention floor. We owe a great deal of gratitude to a cast and crew that brought out their a-game and if the dailies are any indication (and one has to assume they are) we’ve got a great little movie in the making.

Booth Girls is unique in that we have a very specific end goal in mind – to premiere it at the San Diego Comic Con this July – a challenge in that all film submissions must be in by March 1st. The film is currently in the hands of editor Joe Patrow, and a rough cut should be delivered by the end of this week with sound and music to follow soon after.

Thanks to the fantastic cast and crew for making this an amazing experience and as always we invite you to check back often for updates and news about Booth Girls and our other ongoing projects.

Shout Out...

Friend of TtW and cowriter of The Paranormalists, Scott Barsotti has passed us a link to a very funny web series that he has been staring in. Pretty sweet stuff. And I mean that in that it is "cool" not that it is cute or sugary. It isn't. It's funny.

You know what you should just check it out.

Touchy Feely

Greetings, denizens of the blogosphere...

We decided to kick off the New Year by posting the third Episode of Failing Upwards, Touchy Feely. I know, I know, some of you are saying we would probably have posted it anyway and you know what you're probably right. We'd love it if you and a hundred of your closest friends watched it and emailed it and commented on it.

In other news we are hard at work on the next few episodes of the web series as well as our next, bigger, macro short. Not to be oblique, but we are still holding back a few details for now as to the specifics so we can get our ducks in a row. Expect a real announcement with specifics in the next few days (God Willing). Until then...

The Year In Review

As we say good bye to 2007 and hello to the New Year I thought it might be a good time to reflect on what we've done, what we're doing, and what we plan to get done in 2008.

Matches was finished (and it looks awesome). Bryce is at work submitting the finished project to film festivals and we are working out the details for DVD's for friends, family, cast, and crew. Expect more information on the premiere screening early in the New Year.

The Paranormalists is in the capable hands of Mike our sound editor. Brian, master composer for stage and screen, is putting the finishing touches on the score and with any luck sound will be totally finished in January before the whole package gets finalized with our editor Kyle. We've got a great team working on these final beats of the project and as soon as they have finished we will roll out a premiere of the finished picture with Matches in a gala event. Well, maybe gala is a bit grand...I picture big dresses and tuxes when I hear gala. I was thinking more jeans and a beer.

Work will continue on Failing Upwards, which has been getting a great response. We have a third sketch finished and it will be posted to myspace next year. Thank you to everyone who has watched The Assistants and Bathroom Buddies. If you can, give us a hand and spread it around to the friends and family as you head home this holiday season.

Lastly, we have begun work on a new project - a short that caters to the geek-set and will hopefully speak to the folks familiar with Comicon. I don't want to spill to many detail right now beyond that so stay tuned for more updates as we get preproduction under way.

Thanks to everyone for the support throughout the last year; we've accomplished a lot in the past 12 months and as we gear up for the next phase in our scheming it's good to know that we have a solid base of folks keeping tabs and keeping us (mostly) honest. Have a great Holiday, a Happy New Year, and we hope to see you all on the other side.

Addendum

Perhaps I should have been more direct. The sketches are done and the first one has been posted to our Myspace page. Please check out the first episode of Failing Upwards, The Assistants, and let us know what you think!

For those not in the know, you can click the link to the right (Tomorrow The World! on Myspace) to find the video.

More and more and more...

I won't lie, we had a bit of a lapse in communication there. I'm not going to take all the credit for it though; admit it blogoshere you haven't been all that forthcoming yourself. Just so it's clear it's not all my fault I think we can salvage this relationship.

So we've been busy. The Sketches are done, or I suppose I should say that the first three episodes are done. We've decided to call the whole series FAILING UPWARDS - a call out to our own hopes and dreams here in the biz. Right now it's our hope to post one of them a week for the forseeable future, so please check them out. Our thanks go out to the cast and crew as deliniated below who gave us a weekend or so of their lives in exchange for pizza, cupcakes, and soda.

To take care of a bit of housekeeping, I wanted to post the behind the scenes video that was put together for the Matches DVD. Bryce's movie is done, done, done, and while we are still working out some final distribution issues it's totally rad to have the picture locked down. To celebrate you should take a look at Matches: Behind the Genius in order to get a taste of things to come.

Forthcoming

Hello, Ciao, Hola, and γειάσου

We’ve been busy lately and that’s why we haven’t been so good about the updates. So get off my back mom, alright?

With Matches so close to done it hurts, we decided we needed a new project. Since the Lord of the Rings was already produced and it’s a little to soon to start talking about remaking it we had to come up with some of our own ideas. So we did that. This weekend we took those ideas and committed them to tape with the help of some close associates of TTW. Our thanks go out to Matt Bettinelli, Chester Maple, Liz Martinez-Nelson, Scott Towler, Maggie Reid, Adam Malinger, and Joe Patrow for helping us make the most of this very busy weekend.

We’ll be heading into post very soon with the material and hope to post the three finished sketches here and on our myspace site within the next few weeks.
