Updates on our progress

Kristen here. Life has been good and very exciting the last two months. We acquired a studio space (Strange Worlds) and have begun our 4 week film projects again. Only one more week until the first project, Buying the Farm, is released. The feature film, Transgenesis, is currently undergoing rewrites based off the of the […]

Indecision as a mistake in filmmaking

Kristen here. I am glad to get back to this blog after some absence. This last month the company has acquired a production studio space called Strange Worlds and we have begun a 4 week short film project. With that development, much of our time was diverted away from Transgenesis. However, I did have several […]

Setups and Payoffs in the Screenplay

Kristen here. It has been some time since my last blog post, I apologize for that. But we realized that to get investors, we need an amazing script. What we have is a very good script, and we have taken some time to get feedback from readers. We are now on the 8th daft of […]

Courting investors with a new synopsis for Transgenesis!

Kristen here. We are deep into fundraising mode and at this stage of the game, it is important to have a clear pitch for investors. After all, if we can’t tell our story well verbally, why would they trust that we can pull it off visually? Our pitch changes as we talk to more and […]

The tools you need to attract investors

Kristen here. One of the things that has really helped us has been our investors packet/ prospectus. This packet includes our cover art, a table of contents, legal disclaimers, a one page treatment of the movie, our potential cast, market research showing similar movies that have made a profit, and a supporting article that shows […]

We like a good challenge!

Kristen here. We had a challenging month. Our kickstarter did not succeed, but we knew how hard this was going to be. And though we prepared for months, we learned the areas where we could have prepared more. We did create a list of people to contact, but this list should have been much longer. […]

My birthday gift to you…

Kristen here. I wanted to stop in and say how much I appreciate you. Today is my birthday, and celebrating it with you is the best birthday indeed. And so, my birthday gift to you… For this week only, if you email us at transgenesisthemovie@gmail.com we will send you a private copy of select scenes […]

Meet Alex, one of our wonderful producers

Hi, Alex here. First time writer, longtime reader. I guess that’d make me a lurker. Truth be told, I’m kind of the new guy here. I just moved to L.A. less than a year ago from New Orleans. I’m still in “transition” between the two homes and will probably always be in “transition” because, hell, […]

A fun week of auditions!

Kristen here. I had a wonderful first time experience at Cazt, the casting studio where we held our auditions. The facilities are nice and their check in system is easy to use. We were easily able to stay on track with our actors and keep to their scheduled times. I recommend it for any filmmaker […]

New poster!

Kristen here. Can’t wait to hit the streets with these new posters and help raise awareness about GMO foods. http://j.mp/Transgenesis
