Crawling Out From Under the Bed Covers

Pedal * Blog

On Thanksgiving morning I woke up with a killer sore throat – which by the time Saturday night hit, turned into a full-blown flu that kept me up the entire night in the bathroom. Three days after that and I was finally able to drag myself out of bed without being too dizzy to stand. I haven’t been that sick in a long, long, long time – six days in bed was fairly extreme for me when it comes to my typical cold.

I have an overwhelming pile of things to catch up on now that I’m back on my feet – first up is putting the finishing touches on the Kickstarter rewards for all the unbelievably amazing people who helped us reach our goal and secure $8,945 towards the film!

Our 64 Days Production Journal is 98% complete, and up next is creating the 64 Days – parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 – DVDs with bonus features and commentaries from Amanda and I. If any of you have ideas for fun things that we could add to some of the 64 Days DVDs, please let us know!

In between working on our KSR responsibilities I’ll be very anxiously story-boarding more pieces of the film that we’ll be shooting in Northern California with Larry. I have to remind myself most days that there are still many small stages of FToM left to complete – but at the same time, we feel so close to the end. I look at the script and I compare it to the time-line in Final Cut and it’s just very exciting. I feel like we only have several major hurtles left to deal with before we’re able to sit down and actually watch a rough cut of FToM.

It’s time I get back to work – don’t forget to share any ideas for DVD bonus features in the comments!

    Hello Mike;
    I think an awesome gift or incentive to purchase the dvd would be to add a fifth episode fo 64 days; well if at all posible. I know a couple people who have seen the series after I introduced it to them who have been looking forward to it. Good luck with the film; I am truly excited to see it; hopefully you can show it somewhere in tx too.

  • Hey Francisco - I 100% agree with you on that idea! The 64 Days for the KSR backers is going to be one of rewards we'll be mailing out after March, and I think the Amanda and I are very anxious to have part 5 out by then.

    Plus it would work out for the DVDs themselves better if we had parts 1-5 on disc 1 and parts 6-10 on disc 2. Thanks for the comment.
