GLMF Documentary

[Chris McCue]

Greetings once again, friends of the GLMF! A new year has begun, and opportunities abound to start over fresh and make things better than ever. And we at Bob's Wonder (Tom and I) have a shining new opportunity to stop postponing the release of Age of Avaloch.
Regretfully, our film still will not be ready to ship out for at least a few more months. Our schoolwork has proven more of a burden than we thought, and editing down 50+ hours of footage is not an easy task to begin with. On top of that, our ideas for the final product are still becoming more ambitious. We love this film, and we want it to be the best we can possibly make it. It's our goal to preserve the magic of the faire so that it can always be enjoyed during the off-season. But it will take time.
We are still not in a position to make any promises. But take comfort:

1. A trailer will be posted on the internet around February or so (we'll post a link on this message board).
2. The DVD will have special features to appeal to smaller, fringe groups of the faire. We have too much excellent footage to put into the film… but that doesn't mean you should miss out on something you might want to see.
Do not expect the cost to go up. We are still aiming for $5 per disc.
3. The DVD will probably be ready to ship by April.

If you are interested in owning a copy of Age of Avaloch but haven't preordered yet, please contact me at [e-mail]. Your shipping address and money will NOT be requested until we finish the film.
Thanks for your patience. I know it's not fun to wait, but it should be worth it.
Sincerely,
Christopher McCue
Exec. Producer, Bob's Wonder Films

Anything going on with the documentary that we should know about?

[Griffin]

My order is on the way. I'm sure that the DVD will be incredible. I am impressed with your attitudes toward Faire.

[Sir Trevor]

Any word on this?

[Lady Catharine]

My understanding is that it's still being worked on..

I'll IM you..

[Sir Trevor]

I saw Chris yesterday.
He hasn't forgotten us, but at this time he doesn't have a computer to finish up the editing.

[Chris McCue]

Yes, sorry all you faithfuls. It is not done and it is far from being done but I have every intention of finishing it. I have been very busy graduating from Syracuse University and Tom is running several TV shows in Ohio University this summer.
Now that I am officially an artist, officially in the work force, and officially unemployed, I have a little bit of time to work on editing this monster. (Our GLMF documentary has 50 tapes of raw footage, but my senior film had 80. Then again, it took me two solid months to edit my senior film, and I wasn't looking for work at the time.)
I know you're all looking forward to seeing it--but I simply can't give you a due date. I hope to see you all during the first half of the faire--my plan is to have moved to New York or LA somewhere during the middle.
Those of you reading this, I have met most of you personally, and I must ask that you see this more as a friend working on a project that he loves than a professional production. I have no intention of disappointing anyone, but I still may continue to do so, and for that I apologize. If any one of you stick around after the faire I'll buy you a beer and a smile, but it's still going to take a long time.
Yours,
Chris

Congratulations on graduating!

We'll try to be patient ,

But could you reassure us that the list of "interested parties" from the initial announcement on the old board had survived? If we know you'll call us, we won't call you! Or at least, not more than once a month or so. ;D

I never looked at it any other way.
