2 THUMBS UP

Well that might be 10 but who's counting? Tonight we had the first full-length screening of the film at Haik's studio and everyone in attendace seemed to think this film is even better than Off Road To Athens. I just like that it's easier to follow. Chris and Poz (of course they would like this movie more, right?) came down from Baltimore to kick it in Arlington with us and it seemed like they were glad they did. Ken's brother came along as well and had this to say:

As good as ORTA was, I think this is even better. The storytelling of the World Championship race is so compelling. It's gripping:) And the music is really good, once again.

I think folks are really gonna love this film. I felt drained after watching it -- like I'd just been part of the actual race! And I thought Chris's reaction was very telling -- when he said watching it was way more intense than DOING it. That was pretty cool.

So if we can get the dolby surround squared away this week, and get the final touches on the edit and the music - it seems that we've got another winner on our hands. Which is nice to think about after a year to the day of working on this monster.

The animator who I hired sent this today. Made me laugh - so very very true!
