Friends,
As many of you are aware, I have been in Armenia for the past four months directing a feature-film entitled HERE. We wrapped the final pickup shots last night. I had hoped to send out a production notice earlier in the process but getting this 35mm road movie shot in a location like Armenia has been quite a consuming (and rewarding) endeavor. It would not have happened at all without the unrelenting efforts of my primary producers, Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy, the amazing international cast and crew that came along on this trip and the belief that the film's funders, financiers and other supporters put behind us. It's been quite a journey. Deep thanks to all who helped us to get to this place.
The production has been loosely documented on the project's Facebook and Twitter pages (links below). In the course of the coming weeks and months, we will be updating the film's website with additional notes, blog entries, photos and video. If you like what you see, it would be a great gift to the project if you help spread the word by becoming a fan of the film on Facebook, following the production on Twitter, sharing these links with others and / or by making a tax-deductible contribution via our fiscal sponsor, The San Francisco Film Society, to help us get through post-production.
It will be some time before HERE is complete, but I wanted to get the word out that the film is in the can!
Best to all,
Braden King
