Argos is in the Can!


Yes it’s true; Heart of the Argos principal photography has been completed! Our precious film is in the can. Yesterday morning we waltzed into Monaco with our blue cooler filled to the brim with sixteen rolls of film, fresh from Spenser's fridge. Soon we can begin the next stage of the adventure, post-production.

First I would like to thank and congratulate our wonderful cast and crew for stepping up to the enormous challenges of this production (which were many) and performing with unrestrained dedication and skill. Also, many thanks to the family and friends who kept us all going with love and support, and most importantly, delicious home cooked meals! We could not have done it without you.

In the flurry leading up to production I gave up on keeping track of news on the site entirely, I didn’t even have time to get a hair cut, let alone process and chronicle the epic events that lead up to and carried through our nine day production. I don’t expect I will be able to capture such life changing experience through ramblings on a web blog, but I will do my best to at least state a few important or interesting things that occur to me in the next few days, for those of you that are interested. I encourage anyone from the cast or crew to write their impressions, stories and experiences, I will be happy to post them here. Keep an eye out for pictures and videos as well, here's a sneak peak:

Also, Patrick Newman, our behind the scenes videographer has been, and will continue working on web featurettes and special features for the DVD release which will give an inside look at the making of Heart of the Argos. Check out his latest entry to the production journals:
