We are an independant young adult-run production based in the U.S. Midwest. The film has been in pre-production since summer 2008, and wrapped up filming on August 26th, 2010.

We premiered the project on June 23rd, 2011 at the St. Anthony Main Theater in Minneapolis, MN to a delighted audience of over 100 viewers.

Day 5 - More Photos

I'm always amazed at how many pictures people can take without me realizing it. My friend Josh (who was co-producer/director on my three previous films and comes along to lend us his expertise on some SOTB shoots) told me he had gotten a lot of pictures, but I didn't believe him until he uploaded them today. Wow. Well. I've picked out the very best ones for you all to enjoy...

Sweet pictures. Looks like you guys are having a ton of fun.

Thanks WolfPrincess! However, some of these aren't mine! A couple other people took pictures as well!

Anyways, I think they all turned out VERY well! :)

This is a REALLY random question, but when you guys film in a public place, do you have to get permission?

Jessie said...

spectacular Elena! you did an awesome job picking out the actors! P.S. ...absolutely love the pic of Rose playing the violin... simply poetic!

I have so many questions but I will try to ask only a few. When is the release date? Who will be playing Bear? Do you plan on making a movie for each book or just one for The Shadow of the Bear? On another note, it looks really awesome so far!

Grace said...

question: does sharaya actually play the violin?

Bernadette said...

This is amazing. I still can hardly believe that you are making a movie........it's so awesome + cool + everthing. :)

Ella said...

I'll answer as many questions as I'm able.

I believe it depends on the place, SOTB_Luver. Unfortunately I'm not sure what decides it.

We don't yet have a release date. The plan is to be finished filming by the end of the summer/fall. Then the editing will happen.

Jed is playing Bear. I believe an interview with him is coming at some point...

We're only planning to do SOTB at this point. We'll see where God leads after that but for now this alone is a big enough project. :)

No, Sharayah does not play the violin, but Elena's sister does, and we will edit it to look as though she does. :)
