Good job. And we're standing...

Okay. So, Quixotica took on the project of making a short film, directed by Childers to submit to FOX's On the Lot reality show. *for those of you who are not familiar, On the Lot is the American Idol for Directors* We came up with a concept, recruited our co-workers and friends, threw back a few beers and busted out the cameras.
Shot in one afternoon on a residential street in Las Vegas, "New Potatoes" is the story of two slackers who have to entertain themselves when their TV craps out. They can't afford strip clubs and they're not smart enough for chess. Or Scrabble.

Happy New Year!!!

2007... weird. I never thought I'd see the day.

Here's a short progress report:
Quixotica, Inc. has suffered a short setback due to the holiday "breaking of the bones" and an unexpected illness but not to worry - we are still working hard to bring our fans more delicious entertainment.
The script for our next project - a full length film based on A's days of teaching middle school - is underway. It's turning into a raunchy adult comedy with heart strings attached. All those wishing to audition, email us directly at achilders05@yahoo.com or mel_ess@yahoo.com. We will be needing adults of all ages and children ages 10-16 (approximately).

More updates as they become available.


'til next time - stay classy Las Vegas! LOL.

It's official. As of 3:47 pm, Monday, September 4th, TWENTY copies of the Collector's Edition of Back-Lot Insiders currently sit on my bookshelf.

I think I might actually be getting a hang of this creating DVD's thing. I actually found three things that I wanted to change after the first test burn and was able to go back in and make the changes relatively easily. (I actually forgot the third change, but Mel said I am the only who would care that the Production Stills were not in exact chronological order. So if you do care, take it up with Mel.) We started burning DVD's last night and when I left for work today, we had 20 done.

Let me tell you a little about the Collector's Edition.

Back-Lot Insiders: The Movie - This is pretty much the same movie sent to the judges for the 48 Hour Film Project with minor fixes. A few revised graphics that would have been there if we'd had the time. A couple of extended scenes that were shortened to stay in the required time range. An audio-video sync problem corrected. Nothing major. Oh and the credits have been fixed they way we wanted them, complete with music from the movie. Maybe even one final shot just past the credits.

Extras' Extras - Included in the Collector's Edition are FIVE unreleased Interviews with the characters, The entire Brokeback Auto TV commercial, Outtakes, and Production Stills.

Nigul - Find out what makes this extra tick, from childhood to first roles, what he really thinks of Mr. Moyer, and more. Plus, the endings that didn't quite make it.

Chuck Wagon - The rich extra who became extra rich. Learn more about the anti-Nigul.

Fred & Doug - Hear more from the actors who had their scene cut short during Coppola's "Advance Directive".

Sylvia - Who doesn't want more from America's Favorite Skanky Ho!

The Actor Who Got Pee'd On - Hear straight from the extra who played Nigul in the dramatization of the 'method extra' and his stint in the bathroom. He may actually know more than you'd think.

Brokeback Auto TV Spot - The actual commercial from Brokeback Auto. No annoying mockumentary playing over it this time!

Outtakes - See the giggles, the blurts, the fumbles, and the delirious-ness that ensues from staying awake for 47 hours.

Production Stills - Over 90 pictures taken during those famous three days known as the 48 Hour Film Project. See the people who put this thing together, but aren't pretty enough to put in front of the camera.

Wow! It kinda sucks that I can't actually sell this thing.

Later,
A

DVD Release/Wrap Party!!!

To all those who are interested....

Quixotica, Inc. and Spring Valley Pub will be hosting the "Back-Lot Insiders" DVD release party on the 9th of September starting at 9pm. And since we didn't get to have a wrap party - this will serve a dual purpose.
1.) Get your free Collector's Edition DVD.
2.) Get wasted!

Spring Valley Pub (the location for the "Barstool" scene) is located on Flamingo and Jones (in the Smith's shopping center).

Don't forget -- 09.09 at 9pm! See you there!!!

p.s. If you take 9.9 @ 9 and you flip it upside down you get 6.6 @ 6. oooh... 666. creepy... LOL

... to the Tune of Progress

Director's cut DVD update:

The extended interview scenes are in the can... Production stills are in... outtakes are being assembled.

Stay tuned for further updates. LOL. (for anyone in the "breaking news" field, that's funnier than it sounds)

Peace out.

Marching On...

Damn, this shit is harder than it looks!

The director's cut DVD is in full swing production. No, it is not a myth. Copies should be available next week.

Way too hard!

Thanks for being so patient. It took 48 hours to make the short mockumentary, "Back-Lot Insiders". It has taken nearly two weeks to figure out how to get the thing posted on the web so it looks halfway decent.

If the movie isn't playing below, you may need the latest Quicktime. You can also search on YouTube.com or Google Videos for a smaller file size version.

If you are watching this, please pass it on to everyone you know.

Thanks again,
Aaron
