Hi friends,
a day does not go by that I am not filled with gratitude for the new life you all have given In The Soup. Some of you witnessed the premiere of the restoration last spring at the TribecaFF and I am sure you will attest to how great the 5K restoration looked.
Matt Grady has been working hard to deliver all the rewards and I know a batch will go out soon due to finally getting all the deliverables in order. It took a very long time to get the 5K restoration along with new sound and titles completed and then transferred to the correct formats to make digital copies and the 35mm prints. Matt informed me that this week the elements are ready to be sent to the lab in order to make the 35mm prints and the DVD's. I could never have imagined it would take this long;' THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE! I imagine the print will be struck this month and the last remaining rewards will go out in January.
I will be forever grateful that you gave life to this wounded film. The final rewards are on their way and I hope you enjoy the film you helped save.
Alexandre Rockwell
PS: For those of you who made the Little Feet project I am happy to report that we shot a second feature last summer and are editing it now. I look forward to sharing news with you all once we get closer to a fine cut. A
Hi All.
Thanks again for your support!!!
We decided to go make some extra improvements to the sound of the film for the new film prints we are making and the blu-ray. It sounds great - better than ever!!!
In the Soup restoration along with the new restorations of Lenz and Hero will be playing at the American Film Festival in Poland as part of an Alexandre Rockwell Retrospective. The festival is also giving Alex an indie film lifetime achievement award! More on the retrospective: here
The film is also having a special screening at the Bend Film Festival
We'll have more screenings, late 2018/early 2019 and will let everyone know.
I just received a print sample of the book (that will come with the Blu-ray) - Here's a little preview. It looks Great!!! Books are getting printed and the Blu-rays are in production. The Book/DVD set will ship in the middle of November.
We are also working on getting all of the personalized awards out to everyone as soon as we can! And we've also had a few questions about the LA screening. We are working on that should have a date once the new and improved New Beverly opens back up.
