theatticdoormovie.com is back from being down for a few days. We’ve been updating our systems to better prepare for our upcoming festival run. If you haven’t already, please befriend us on facebook and spread the word.
Sorry again for the black out!

The Attic Door is a very large low budget film. Our production was continuously blessed with people and professionals who leant us a hand, or cut us a break. One of the greatest experiences we had was working intimately with Leandro Marini and his post production crew over at Local Hero Post. Scott Uhlfelder, the Director of Photography, and myself spent ten days in the darkness of the color correction suite searching the for the proper color choices for our final film.
This process is often overlooked and misunderstood by filmmakers. A proper D.I. (digital intermediate) is crucial to the storytelling. When filmmakers famously skip this process (PT Anderson for example), it is for a highly motivated and personal reason that is in tune with the central theme of the project. One only needs to watch what a proper DI can do to understand how important it is to the process.
Local Hero Post has included before and after video clips from our film on their site under “Main” and “Color Correct.” Check it out.
Check out this slideshow in the New York Times featuring our home in Southern Utah. We are especially happy for the special write-up on The Parry Lodge which was the home base for our crew during production.

While attending the Florida Film Festival, writer Eric Ernst and I sat down with the team at IndieGoGo to answer six questions about how we are building an online audience. Read the full interview here.
It was amazing. We learned a lot about how to shape the marketing strategy and festival run. Will update with pictures tomorrow.
We are proud to share a special test screening at our home town festival in Orlando: the Florida Film Festival. This is a one night only ticket so if you are in the area please buy now, tickets are going fast!
You can purchase tickets here.
A lot of the crew will be at the screening, including director Danny Daneau, producer Erica Harrell, writer Eric Ernst, and production designer Alex Eastwood. It’s going to be a great time and we cannot wait to share with all our friends, family, and supporters!
