Nothing major to report, just a progress update. Myself, Vision Films, and our film editor in Hollywood, have been busily working on various things required by Vision prior to their production of the final DVD. We are still on track for a July release!
Everything is moving along nicely at this point. Vision Films has been wonderful to work with, and I'm confident the final package will look and sound really good.
I'm told that this will be a Region 0 DVD. That means it should play on most DVD players around the world (some DVD players might still have compatibility issues, especially if they are not multi-region players).
I can only hope that Tom would be happy and proud that his film is finally going to find itself on a commercial DVD soon. Tom recognized that the story and evolution of surf music had never been told before as a documentary film. He worked hard to get the story told as accurately as possible. I've just tried to facilitate the physical product. Way too much work went into this production to give up on it only because we lost the director too soon.
After 17 years, we are now 3 months away...
John, you are doing amazing work! I cannot wait to see this film and I'll be buying a DVD as soon as I can. If you have movie posters for sale as well, I'd add one to my purchase.
