I realize it’s been a while since you’ve heard from us. We’ve been editing, basically, which is a long, intense, exhausting process. And we’re just about at the end of it. I was kinda waiting for a specific event to be able to get back in touch with you all, something I could announce. And that has happened.

We have signed with the incredible Josh Braun of Submarine Entertainment to represent the film for sale.

Those of you who are already familiar with the world of producer’s reps will be doing backflips, but just in case you’re on the outside of indie film, here’s a word by way of explanation.

So, we made this wonderful movie called TRUE ADOLESCENTS, which we’re very proud of and which is almost done. We’ve done five screenings with audiences varying in size from fifteen to forty people, honing and improving and perfecting our movie. We have to do one additional day of shooting in Seattle (without actors, even) when the weather improves, and then we can “lock picture.”

Now once that happens, we’ll go on to finish the movie technically. We have an incredible sound design team over at Great City Productions (Britt Myers and Ian Stynes) and are in the process of locking down our picture finish deal.

But then: we have to take the film to festivals. Now, the average indie film goes to festivals pretty naked - the producer(s) just apply, get in, and hope for the best. But if you’re an extra-special indie film, like us, you are lucky enough to get someone like Josh Braun to help usher you through that process.

Josh is not only a coach and co-strategist through the festival process, but because he sold, oh, seven out of the nine films he was representing at Sundance last year, the fact that he takes a film on bears weight with festival programmers.

Once you get to your target festival, he’s the lead strategist for addressing how the film hits the ground, coordinating with the film’s publicist to make sure it gets noticed in just the right way by just the right people. And then when the right people see the film, he helps me, the producer, negotiate with the bigwigs to get the best deal on the sale.

Basically, the addition of Submarine to our team means that we are legit with one of the most respected tastemakers in independent film. Yeah, it’s, um, pretty cool.

You’ve been über-patient, True Believers, but if everything happens as planned, we’ll keep you posted with more, crazy-exciting announcements as they come.
