8 Ways In-Vitro Meat Will Change Our Lives

Manufacturing meat in a lab, that's Clay Galt's "Meat Machine" in TWM. So sci-fi right? Think again.

8 Ways In-Vitro Meat Will Change Our Lives

PUBLICITY FROM A DYING TECHNOLOGY

Working through a rewrite this weekend and came across this article. Written a little over a year ago while filming the pre-vis footage, the story made front page in my hometown, Caldwell, TX. A good portion of Things We've Made will be shot there: the Donor's house, the abandoned farm, as well as tons of transitional lonely highway shots.

Journalist Roy Sanders wrote the article and got us access to Barney Homeyer's cornfield.

Thank you, Roy. Thank you, Barney. Get well, Newspaper. And we'll see y'all VERY SOON, Caldwell!

io9 Finds Video Clone Collection

io9 has picked up on YouTube user Clonelab79 who has uploaded a collection of videos that mainly have to do with women and their evil clones. Read the post here.



There have been plenty of depictions of clones as monsters, threats and purely evil. Our clone Christopher just wants to find himself. Literally.

TWM - AFM - VISUALS

As promised, here are a couple of pics from the AFM (American Film Market) pitch last Saturday. Those chandeliers were amazingly distracting, but we somehow managed to rile the audience into enthusiastic frenzyfied applause...

POST-PITCH

Back from AFM and the pitch session couldn't have gone better. I'll post pictures as they come in. People actually started applauding in the middle of our delivery. A crowd of 300 people, moved by our lonely clone movie. 300 people, with very good taste...

Off topic, but I love this photo.

I wish I was best friends with a robot when I was that age.
Jealous of those acid-wash jeans, too.

History-Making Holstein

From Keloland TV in Sioux Falls, South Dakota...
"For more than a decade, companies have been cloning cows in an effort to create new medications to treat a wide range of illnesses.  It all started with a with a steer named Charlie, who's living out his retirement years on a farm in South Dakota.."

Pitching at the American Film Market

Come see me and An, Producer of Things We've Made talk about the project as part of the American Film Market's "Pitch Me!" Event. We, along with the eight other films in the Film Independent lab will be doing our pitches in front of an audience of 300 people. A panel of producers will give us feedback. Say hi if you drop by.
