We
are currently chin-deep in our project "Color Under The Bridge."
This piece is a fantasy short
penned by Mike Biaselli. It's the story of a troll in trouble and the
kids who help him out.
Production is well under way and shooting should wrap sometime in
August.
We would like to say a special "thank you!" to Carolyn Avis, our
artistic director and
Maria Privito, our SFX/makeup director, both of whom have been
instrumental in our endeavor,
and without whom this project would still be in pre-pro limbo. Thank
you, ladies!!!
UPDATE! - JANUARY 2009 After a slow start, editing for "Color Under The Bridge" is in full swing. There's a considerable learning curve for this type of film, but Mike and Scott are hoping for a late spring / early summer release. (Fingers crossed, please!)
"Shoot Out Of Luck" is currently in the rewrite / pre-production stage. Producer David Von Roehm has signed the legendary Peter Bogdonavich to direct. Tangent is very much looking forward to working on this project in the coming months.
The SaintSinner
Entertainment project, "Hush" has been renamed "The Quiet Ones" and is nearing release. Watch for details. Off On A
