Happy New Year from Of Dolls and Murder!

In the edit suite right now. Probably the last time in 2009. Our goal was to finish Of Dolls and Murder by the end of 2009. We didn't quite make it. But I think that's perfectly ok. The longer we spend on it, the better it gets. (To a point, of course.)

So far, the feedback on our rough cut has been pretty phenomenal. We didn't quite expect it!

What's next for us? Well, we are hoping that our friends at HDMG will have time to work with us on the final post. Then we will send our film off to film festivals with our fingers crossed. I hope this will come to fruition within the next few months.

I keep thinking about how a filmmaker is not the same person at the beginning of pre-production as she is in post-production. Making a film changes a person. With the exception of of the funding issues, working on this film has been a dream. It's also been a journey, a wonderful journey that unfolded in front of our eyes. I've seen things I never thought I would see. And because of this film, I've been places I never want to go back to! (I'm thinking specifically of the Body Farm and I know I speak for the entire crew when I say that one visit is plenty!) I've had the wonderful opportunity to work with and meet some incredible people. How lucky can a filmmaker get?

Much luck and success to you in the new year!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Creepsmas!

We wish you great health and happiness in the new year! And we hope to have great Of Dolls and Murder news to share with you in 2010.

Peace,

Of Dolls and Murder filmmakers

Of Dolls and Murder editor on fire

When John Kurtis Dehn isn't slaving away on Of Dolls and Murder or working on a client production, or playing in his band, he's on fire.

That's him behind the smoke machine haze at a solo performance at the Eagle Club in St. Paul last week. Never a dull moment with John Kurtis Dehn.
