Extended Trailer Up!
Yes, we know it has been a little while since you have heard anything... but don't worry, it has been worth the wait!!!
Travel Queeries now has an 8 minute extended trailer on youtube (link coming next week) and the production team is hard at work getting this (please note) feature length project together, which includes: watching and transcribing our 70+ hours of footage, story boarding, compiling the soundtrack, getting animation and visual art, editing the actual film, having meetings, fundraising, doing promotions and much more. (Besides the fact that Margaritte is in school full time, Elliat is working 5 jobs, directing an arts festival and performing and Sid is getting ready to move to NYC/Berlin in April!). So, for those of you who may be wondering why it is taking so long... hopefully this will help give you a better idea of where the length of production is coming from- besides the fact that, we want to make sure if looks really good and you all look fabulous... can't rush that honey!!
We will be doing focus group screenings in Seattle/Olympia and Berlin/Europe in June and July, so please keep in touch about attending these to give feedback about the film structure! We will try to throw some more sneak peak clips online, but cannot promise anything since our main goal is to have a final cut by October '08 to submit to Berlinale (February 2009)! where we hope to premier the film... then we can screen it everywhere!!
So, if you want to see the film, help us get into Berlinale (no, just joking... kind of) and after the premier (which helps us get rentals of the film, and that helps pay for the film) then we can finalize our community tours (which will mostly be cheap and/or free).
We love you all... and again, please stay in touch- it might seem like a long ways away, but it will be here sooner than you think! (that's what I tell myself anyways!).
lots of love and big gay/queer/purvey kisses!!!!
xoxoxo, team tq
