Long overdue update!
I must explain myself…..
For those that don't remember, back in 2006, I announced a fan film that was to be released early 2007 entitled “Ghostbusters: Generation.”
www.ghostbustersgeneration.com
I posted stills, clips, and all sorts of material in relation to this film. 2007 came and went. 2008 came and went. 2009 came and when. The film was on constant hiatus.
The main reason I post this thread is to update those interested in the film on what's happening. Despite the hiatus, the film is NOT dead. Due to work, film school, other life obligations (all of which kicked into full force late 2007), this film was subject to constant delay. To make a long story short: GBG was the first professional film endeavor I ever tackled. I went in with a clear picture of what I wanted but as shooting began, my ambitions exceeded my resources. I wanted more CGI, more scale, more this, more that. Mind you, this was all occurring 3 months into shooting. I added more to the plate and when things finally got under control, life was giving me other things to deal with. I transferred to film school, started working in the indie film circuit, and thus, the hiatus kicked into overdrive.
Will the film come out? I spent nearly a year of my life working on this. I asked actors, peers, and all others to help me on this. It's plain unfair to just cancel the film and have all that hard work thrown down the toilet. The film may not meet the standards I have as a film maker today but I made it to share with others so, not only will it come out; it MUST come out.
Now the when: for those of you familiar with my work, I'm about 2 months away (May 7th to be exact) from releasing my new fan film, “Megaman”. With the attention that will receive, what better opportunity to relight the GBG flame? Simply put, shortly after MM is released, GBG will follow. Could be May, June, or July. All I know is that the film needs to be released. One way or another, GBG will be available. I'm just sorry that I made this film at a time in which it suffered hiatus. If I made this film now, it would have been an entirely different situation. Again, for those that still wait; thanks for your patience. For those that donated; expected what you were promised. To those that have forgotten; I'm sorry I kept you waiting!
