Update by Pete

Anyone who thinks they can shoot a feature film with only the help of one other person is an idiot - take it from idiot #1. We’ve spent the past week ramping up to our January 1 sendoff working around the clock filming comedy shows, cutting web videos, writing new material, learning about who talks in their sleep, surviving on terrible sandwiches, oh, and shooting material for the film in between. It’s ironic that I took some time off from my actual job working 10-15 hour days to work 16 – 20 hour days instead, but that’s production for you. I remember the days when I could actually do this kind of stuff with ease - when I was young and eager to learn, but now I’m just old, bitter, and my back hurts a lot from lugging all of that damn camera gear around.

I must say that the new intern has really come through, though. Torio is helping us basically do, um…pretty much everything for the tour. He told us that he had applied for an IT job one time and they turned him down due to the fact that he had absolutely no IT experience. So naturally, we threw him into the web design process and had him changing code for all of our website material that needed to go live by Jan. 1. We here at COB believe in opportunity… or again, maybe it’s just idiocy. Either way, we’re live.
