I appreciate all the kind words I received about the last news post and to answer a few e-mails, I was laughing in the first picture. I was laughing in pain. Anyway, here we have a new video that's actually old. It's a video of the first day of filming...kind of. It's actually the second first day as the title states. Here's the explanation: Sharpe was being played by someone else when the cameras began rolling. The actor, who shall remain nameless, enrolled in to college a few hours away and we didn't have room in our budget for such luxuries as gas or plane tickets. So we went with someone a little closer to home base and once again began at the beginning. He was a good actor and would have brought a lot to the project but these things happen. I have no regrets. Brandon is a fine young lad and was actually my first choice for the role. More on that later.

The movie's coming along nicely and we're taking the weekend off to pump up our schedule so we can march forth and get this thing finished ASAP. Oh, and for those curious ones, we're looking for an end of summer/early fall premier in our hometown of Beeville, TX as well as a few other cities and states all the while submitting it to the proper film festivals and circuits. Speaking of film festivals, I'd like to wish a couple of fellow Texas filmmakers good luck on their trip to the Tribeca Film Festival at the end of the month with their flick 'The Wild Man of the Navidad'. Check out their site if you get a chance. Well, that's about it. Enjoy the video and feel free to hit me up anytime atPaul@scumthemovie.com. Thanks to Catatude for fancy camera work.Break dance!
