Just wanted to take a quick moment to sincerely wish you and your family peace and joy during the holiday season. Please be safe on the roads (and avoid Highwaymen at all costs).

The editing computer has been resurrected and post production continues on No Sanctuary.

Look for it to be released in 2010.

Very early in the year a new trailer will be released and No Sanctuary merchandise will be available for purchase.

Thank you for your continued support.

Blessings and Peace.

I recently experienced a temporary, but nerve racking setback with the film. I came home early in the week to find that a power surge had killed my editing computer. [Despite the surge protector.]  Stifling the urge to scream, I quickly setup my laptop and connected the external drive that holds all the crucial files for the film. The hard drive worked, the film was intact. Whew! Thousands of hours of editing had not been in vain. But the editing computer remained dark. After troubleshooting I found that it was, in fact, inoperable. I am currently working to repair it and hope that it lasts for awhile, until I can raise some additional funds for a new workstation. Until I can edit again, I took the opportunity to create a recent backup.

So to summarize.  The film is safe. The computer is dead (or at least in a coma. I hope this is temporary.) And despite the difficulties of filmmaking, I am still in love with the process.  I am still in love with No Sanctuary: The story, the characters, and the journey to bring it all to life.
