Lost Penny Movie Trailer

1. MOVIE TRAILER FOR LOST PENNY

Editing Update: So... we finished principal photography for our feature film, Lost Penny, back in August. What does that mean exactly?

Well, it means we're in post-production. It means we're editing all the clips together, figuring out how to best craft the story. It means we're doing foley (the sound effects). It means we're finishing up ADR (audio dialogue replacement). It means a lot of things...

So, while we work on tightening up a few scenes, creating opening and closing credits, and doing color correction and foley, YOU can watch the movie trailer...



Note: If you're having trouble viewing the embedded trailer, you can always watch the trailer at http://youtu.be/R9Xg-S86kBQ

3. QUOTE

"Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul. A little twitch in our optic nerve, a shock effect: twenty-four illuminated frames a second, darkness in between, the optic nerve incapable of registering darkness."

-- Ingmar Bergman

2. OUR NEW FILM - LOST PENNY

We're filming our newest feature film in August 2014 in Niagara.

So, what's the movie about?

LOST PENNY is the story of a girl named Penny who comes across a mysterious box with the words "open me" scrawled on top. Even though she is warned not to do it, she opens the box and steps into a strange world. But once inside, Penny begins to realize that getting out again might prove to be impossible...

We've launched a crowdfunding campaign to help fund this movie through Indiegogo. Will you help make this film possible? Go to our Indiegogo webpage to see all the perks we're offering. DVDs of the movie. Giant Fortune cookies. Crazy Credits. A Song Dedicated to you in the Credits.

Manhattan Bound Jimi Lazer

1. JIMI LAZER IS MANHATTAN BOUND
Mark your calendars for Thursday, June 27... Our latest feature film, THE LEGEND OF JIMI LAZER, is coming to the Manhattan Film Festival.

The festival runs from June 20-30, 2013. Our screening is scheduled for 7:45 pm on Thursday, June 27th at the Quad Cinema, 34 West 13th Street in Manhattan.

Tickets are $11. Get your tickets today...

2. JIMI LAZER ON IMDb

THE LEGEND OF JIMI LAZER is now up on IMDb.com. These days, it's become one of the rights of passage for a film to be listed on the Internet Movie Database. Check out our page... Go to: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2838622


3. OTHER FILM FESTIVALS...

As you already know, we've submitted the movie to the Manhattan Film Festival. But we'd like to bring the movie to other film festivals as well. However, this is not free. Most film festival submission fees average around $50.

And that's just the submission fees. If we get accepted, there are other costs: Posters, postcards, and other types of publicity.

It begins to add up.

But that's where YOU can help...

We have five levels... Ranging from the $20 "Roadie" Level to the $1,000 "Rockstar" Level.

We are asking the supporters of this movie to help us with our endeavor to bring The Legend of Jimi Lazer to the film festival circuit. Any amount will help. And since CubeCity Entertainment is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, we can even give you an IRS official tax receipt! (for donations over $20.)

Please consider donating...

The Best Quotes Heard from NYC Train Conductors...

Conductor: This is an express Manhattan-bound N train, running on the local track. I repeat, this is an express Manhattan-bound N train, running on the local track. We are currently stopped due to the local R train ahead of us… It don’t make sense to me either. ~ N train

Conductor: This is Grand Central station. Connections can be made here to the A, C, E, N, Q, W, R, and S trains. The rest of the alphabet is not included. Good luck. ~ 6 train

Bus driver: Will all the beautiful people please step to the rear? All the beautiful people, you know who you are. Thank you. ~ Q46 bus

Conductor: Times Square Station. Transfer available to… everything. ~ Q train

Conductor: Passengers, this is a downtown train. We don’t know what route it will be yet, but we will be going downtown on the Eighth Avenue line. If we don’t stop at your stop, we’ll probably be stopping at one just as nice. ~ C train

1. A TRAILER... AND A NEW NAME

Our upcoming feature film (the one we've been calling Guitar Movie) has got a new name...

The new title: The Legend of Jimi Lazer. (If you're wondering "Why the change?" check out our blog post about this: Working Title.)

So, now you know the new name.

And now you can watch a short teaser trailer for the movie.

There's a few places where you can check it out:
 » watch it on youtube at http://youtu.be/hzXexR61fyY
 » go to our website
 » check it out on our film blog

Let us know what you think. Comment on the blog or at youtube. Share the video on Facebook...


2. A NEW FILM SCHOOL

We are setting up a film school to start in September 2013. We're connected with Transitions College in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Our goal is to give our students independent filmmaking experiences, from concept to promotion.

It's a two-year diploma course (accredited post-secondary film program by the Ministry of Education in Ontario). Students learn everything from pre-production to post-production: script-writing, casting techniques, various editing styles; working with different cameras...

If you (or someone you know) is interested in this program, please check out the information on our website at http://www.cubecity.org/filmschool.htm

We'll be having an Open House on Thursday, April 25th at Transition College in Niagara Falls. We're planning an On-Camera Workshop to coincide with the Open House. Not only will you get to meet the instructors and see the college, you'll also get a taste of what you'll be learning in the film program.

Or you can contact Transitions College at 905-358-7760.

If you have questions about the program, we'd be happy to answer them. You can ask your question in the Comments section, or email us.

"My name is Alice, but — "
"It's a stupid name enough!" Humpty Dumpty interrupted impatiently. "What does it mean?"
"Must a name mean something?" Alice asked doubtfully.
"Of course it must," Humpty Dumpty said with a short laugh: "my name means the shape I am — and a good handsome shape it is, too. With a name like yours, you might be any shape, almost."
~ Lewis Carrol, Through the Looking Glass
