Alley Cats (an update)

Alright, we know that we promised a final and ready-for-viewing cut of Alley Cats by the end of 2009. That, quite obviously has not occurred, and there are many reasons as to why. Here I will go over just a couple.
First, I would like to congratulate the fortunate Director, Cat RNBMX A. for defeating the motorized death-mobile that tried to prove it was stronger than a bicycle. If a violent run-in with a car isn’t a good reason for a major delay in finishing and distributing a film, then I suppose I don’t know what a good excuse would be.

(For posterity, here is a NEW trailer, which I hope stokes excitement.)

Furthermore, we had legitimate technical issues. I’m not the type to complain about computer issues publicly, but this was my first hard drive failure in my 10 years of film production, which is a pretty remarkable track record considering I have more than 10 drives, some of which have been clunking along for about the same amount of time I’ve been involved in this trade. The drive that died happened to be the drive I had just dedicated to the Alley Cats production, and we were lucky that we didn’t lose our irreplaceable and very difficult to attain RED One footage. The other footage we lost was easily re-imported from the original HDV tapes, and the only thing we lost was our fun sound effects we used for the trailer. However, both aforementioned recoveries have severely damaged the projects already feeble time-line.

That said, we still plan to finish the film by some undisclosed future date. Until then, we do have a few exciting developments coming forward (just read the later posted material on this site for more info on the BZD Films exciting, thrilling, and at times unbelievable progress towards a revolutionary and overly-wordy future …)
