Callback the Movie

SOUNDTRACK ALBUM

Nigel Dick — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:24:59 +0000

The sexily titled “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” is on the way. In the meantime you can hear some of the tracks that might have made it on to the CD. Scroll down to the right, click on a sample and turn it up!

FESTIVALS

Nigel Dick — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:22:21 +0000

Have we submitted to any festivals yet? Yes…and they’re all big ones. We’re very optimistic and think we have a great chance of winning all of them. It’s shocking what a bit of bribery and blackmail can still do for you in this enlightened age!

If you are a festival organizer that was a bad joke – the ones in the movie are much better. We apologize.

THE ‘MAKING OF’

Nigel Dick — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:16:15 +0000

When CALLBACK is finally released on DVD we are glad to announce that, yes, there will be a “Making Of Callback” extra.

Just like the film on which it is based “The Making Of Callback” is hilariously funny, has lots of Moe Jones in it and is mostly in focus.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

Nigel Dick — Fri, 29 May 2009 22:01:29 +0000

It’s been months and months and months since the last blog. You’re right: I didn’t write, I didn’t call. Nothing.

It’s simple. Nothing was happening and I felt ridden with guilt. It took me 12 months to do this bit, 6 months to do that bit, I was in Europe for 6 weeks…and so on. It’s been like that the whole way through Post. The moral of this tale is simple. If you pay you get it done quick. If you are asking favors you have to wait…and wait…and then wait a little bit more.

But here’s the good news. CALLBACK IS DONE! We’ve had a cast & crew screening and everything. By the way if you were cast or crew and I didn’t invite you it’s because you’ve changed your e-mail and didn’t tell me.

What next?

We’re now submitting the film to festivals and we’re full of anticipation that someone will want to give the film its big World Premiere.

We’re also looking for a distributor and buyer and we’ve got a great little film to sell that’s funny and beautifully made – sorry for the arrogance but I’m proud. If you know anyone who wants to get world -wide rights to a hot little number let us know.

I would write more but I’m still working on the film, editing the “Making Of” and putting a Soundtrack Album together.

See you at a screening soon I hope.

STRING DRIVEN THING

Nigel Dick — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 21:09:05 +0000

It’s two years since we wrapped. How could it take so long to finish a movie?

If you spend six months alone in a small room with a computer cutting sound it’s easy to see how you can miscalculate this piece of string might be. On completion of my task I delivered all my audio elements to Rich, the dialogue editor, and sat down with Jez who will mix the movie only to discover I had entered the Perfect Storm of vacation bookings. I went away for 3 weeks and got back at the same time that Rich went off for a month. When he gets back Jez will leave almost immediately for 3 weeks. Et voila! Another two months are added to the schedule just like that.

I promise it will be over by Christmas…but that’s what they said about the War isn’t it?
