Editing Ghost of Garganta

The Ghost of Garganta has been in progress for nearly 4 years and features just about everyone that has ever been in a CultRetro movie... Aliya Hayes, Nicola Rae, Maria Paris and of course Garganta herself, the amazing colossal Brenna Barry! It is easily the biggest budget spectacular that we have ever attempted, and at long last it's all starting to come together. Fans have been asking us for YEARS when it will be available... and the answer is... very soon!

It is MASSIVE! We have no idea yet just how long it will end up being, but it will most likely be released in 25-30 minute "chapters" as they are completed, with the intent to get atleast the first chapter out by year's end. We have gathered all of the footage in one place and we are currently sorting through over 50 AVI files of raw footage to create a rough cut of the film. From that we'll have a better idea of what the total runtime will be and we can finally begin to complete giantess scenes as required for the first segment. A good chunk if the initial editing is complete and very soon we'll have a watchable cut of the film that we can begin to tweek and enhance.

If you liked The Amazing Colossal Woman, then the Ghost of Garganta is going to blow your mind!

And in other CultRetro movie news, we'll be filming additional scenes for Stormy Tempest: Fight for the Future on November 7th with Aliya Hayes. You will believe a woman can fly! :)

Bloodfiend DVD! Stormy Tempest Preview!

Hey folks!

The complete Sangor Syndrome: Bloodfiend from Outer Space is available now on DVD! 2.5 hours of goodies on the disc!

In other news, today I edited a sequence together from Stormy Tempest: Fight for the Future for the purpose of seeing exactly what we are missing and what we might need to flesh out the scene a little more. We have made arrangements with Nicola Rae that will enable her to film a few quick pickups on her own without needing to return to Florida to do so. By editing this scene now I'll know exactly what to ask her for in order to fill in the gaps. There are a few minor things that could be better, but generally it already looks good to go. Anything that we add to it now just makes a good scene better.
Below is a screencap from the scene in question. Stormy is either afraid for her life while being trapped by an unseen foe, or she's singing the finale to an exuberant showtune! With Bill Black movies, one is as likely as the other. :)

New Photos!

Howdy folks!

We're still tinkering with the website, adding some back-end goodies that aren't visible changes to the site, but they make things more friendly for Google and other search engines. We're also starting to figure out our new social networking tools. We're dinosaurs when it comes to this sort of thing, but we're figuring things out and getting them all up to speed one at a time.

On our new Photo Galleries page you'll find a nifty little slideshow presentation that displays our most recent Flickr photo uploads. We're planning to update this daily to show off some of the behind-the-scenes pics and production stills that we've taken during the development of our original films. If you click through to our Photo Gallery page you'll find a small icon on the bottom right of every photo in the slideshow. Click on that and it'll take you directly to the larger picture on our Flickr photo stream where you can read our comments about the image as well as leave comments of your own. It's basically a mini-photo blog. Cool beans!

The Sangor Syndrome DVD is almost ready for release. Only 35 years in the making! :)

Keep an eye out, it's coming very soon.

John
