Thanks to our good friends Ryan and Nick, we have secured an awesome camera and some audio equipment. We are going to shoot Saturday. It is a rare opportunity for us to have access to such fine equipment, and I'm grateful to have Ryan and Nick on the team. They're going to make this look awesome, I'm sure.
The Courier is a short film prequel to our feature-length film, The Rickert Racket. It is about Snorri Harsgaard and Hamilton Stone, two milquetoast city employees at the beck and call of Springfield's biggest powermonger, Councilman Jack Rickert. During their first day on the job in Springfield's Animal Control department, Snorri and Hamilton get a call from Rickert to meet a courier at the old Sangamo Town site to pick up an important package. Snorri and Hamilton embark on a mini adventure to find the courier and secure the mysterious package for Rickert.
Casting was completed last week. Here's the cast:
Snorri Harsgaard will be played by John Anderson
Hamilton Stone will be played by Micah Roderick
The Courier will be played by Travis Liles
We are all hard at work memorizing lines, finding props, scouting shooting locations, and making awesome-looking fake blood. That's right . . . fake blood!
We'll keep you posted on the status of the film here. Stay tuned.

Congratulations and good luck on the film.
Sorry I missed Movie Geeks tonight. I would like to see the Corndog Man sometime. Do you own the DVD?
Yeah, I own it. You can borrow it any time you want. Movie Geeks was fun tonight. Most people left right after the movie so I didn't get a chance to ask what they thought, though I saw a lot of laughs throughout.
And thanks.
If you can remember, bring the DVD to the February Movie Geeks night. I promise to take good care of it and return it promptly or be subject to whatever late fees that you impose.
If you haven't already selected next month's movie, I vote for Angels with Dirty Faces.
Dan, it looks like Angels with Dirty Faces is the winner. It was narrowly leading the vote last night, but your comment vote throws it clearly into the lead. I think that's a great selection.
Yeah, I'll do my best to bring The Corndog Man next month. I impose stiff late penalties, so beware. I saw Nancy was in the house last night, but I didn't get a chance to talk to her. I hope she enjoyed the film.
Good luck with the film, boyos!
Post it when you're done.
John
Yes, I enjoyed the movie, although I've already been spouting off "kiss a good man's ass" wayyyy too much....it just rolls off the tongue.
Sorry for being a bad guest and bolting after the movie. I was worried about the weather and driving after having a couple of Blue Moons. I got a chance to talk to Micah and vote, but should've made a point to thank the other host.
See you next month for Angels!
Ugh. I can't believe my perfect attendance record is over, but the always dangerous combination of work and weather (and Dan making me promise not to go without him) derailed me last night. I'm glad it was a good time last night & sorry I missed it. I'll have to see Corndog Man with Dan.
Manx-
Thanks.
To Nancy-
Yeah, I was sorry I didn't get a chance to chat it up with you to see what you thought of the film. No harm done. I certainly don't blame you for wanting to get out of there and get home. Some might say, "Quicker than a cat can lick his ass." Glad to see you made it out, though. And I'm glad you liked the movie.
