We know this has been a long time coming, but here are the submissions that we received from those of you who had fun with our little website banner competition.

We received 12 submissions. All of which are in the poll below (although, the first six followed the actual submission requirements), so feel free to vote on which ever one(s) you like. Since it is a multiple choice answer poll, feel free to choose as many as you want.

Hi everyone its been a long time since I have left a post on here.  But I have been swamped with work and other problems came up.  However I am pleased to be able to  tell everyone a part of 0:22:43 that we were give $100, thanks to The Crestwood Aquatic Center.  This was a place that for the past 6 summers I would work at.  The people there were excited to hear about 0:22:43 and kept updated with the website.  The managers at the Aquatic Center are always interested in what their college student employees are doing in and out of school.   When I told them that we needed donations, they seemed happy to help out and be a part of the experience.

From everyone at 0:22:43  Thank you!!

Hello everyone this is Jerry, long time no talk. I haven’t posted a text comment on here in a while, but I’m just sitting here so I thought I would let everyone know what we have been up to the last week or so. First things first all the footage is captured in the computer and backed up on multiple hard drives to avoid any loss. Last thing we want is a hard drive to crash and lose our movie, that would suck. After 40 hours of logging footage and organizing we got to work on editng. Last Saturday and Sunday we pulled an edit fest and went to work (until 5am sunday morning). Going into this weekend we have a rough cut of about 15 minutes of footage. We are really liking the way things are cutting together, it is a good thing to think about editing when you are shooting it keeps things a little simpler in the editing room.

Now comes a new week, we are hard at work trying to get promotional things together. We need to print business cards as well as design shirts. We will be finishing up these things hopefully this weekend and we still are looking for our new logo, (for more info on that the post is to the right of where we are now.) T-shirts are a big thing we are trying to get in the works, so if anyone knows a screenprinter in the Kansas City/Warrensburg area that would be willing to work us a good deal please use the contact us and let us know.

Next on the agenda is PR. We have been looking at different avenues to get more people to know about the film. We are working with some public relations people to get a press release ready so we can send it off to newspapers and radio stations. We have contacts at the Ottawa Herald in Ottawa,Ks (thats where I graduated high school) also the cummulus radio stations in KC. We would like to get more outlets to send the release to so if you know anyone in the radio, tv, internet, or paper world that would be interested in giving us a little plug please contact us as well.

Little fun fact: We have had over 2500 viewers to this website since we launched mid-february. Thats good stuff.

Back to business. I went to The Offspring concert in Kansas City last weekend, it was awesome. While I was there I conducted some business which seem like I do everywhere I go now. I met a man from Family Video which is a movie rental place similar to Blockbuster. I was talking to him and he started talking about the possibility of getting 0:22:43 into a movie rental store. How awesome would that be, our movie available for rent. I will be contacting him today to find out more details and keep you fine people up to date. As of now I think that is what is in the works. We are still trying to meet the deadline of July 21st for Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, KY, and we will be sending some of the rough cut to our composer Thom Proctor .

Also I know we say this all the time as we are still looking for donations. We have multiple things to still purchase to finish this film up. With your donation of $20 or more you will get a signed copy of the DVD, so think of your donation as reserving a copy of the film. If you dont have the means to donate at the moment please keep spreading the word, and become our fan or follow us on twitter by clicking the icons to the side which are links to the different places. Also you can still embed a video from our videos page on your social network site of choice and you will get a special thanks once we see it up and live. Once again thanks for everything from everyone thus far and we will be talking to you soon.

More photos and video will be up throughout the weekend so make sure to check back.

UPDATE: The requirements for the site logo competition are as follows:

- Size: 940px x 110px
- Background Color: #333333
- If the design has corners, they must be rounded.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to Contact Us.

Ok, hopefully the title got you excited.  This is a pretty awesome little announcement we have for you.

We need a graphic designer.

Look.  Look up at the title for this website.  That is pretty freaking blase, right?  Well, here’s your chance to get some sweet 0:22:43 swag!

We need a logo for the movie’s website.  What I suggest is a competition of sorts to design and choose our logo!  What we need is something that will give the impression and feel of this fine psychological horror/thriller.  The only requirements are that the background color of the image be #333333 and the image be in a standard file format like JPEG, PNG, or GIF (if you must).

Hopefully we will have a pretty good response to this call for creativity and if we do, the Trio of myself (Anthony), Jerry, and Allie will judge and choose the top two or three (we may adjust this number based on submissions) and then let you, the fans decide.  We will create a poll for you to vote on and the winning design with the most votes will become the new logo for the website!

What do you get for your designing troubles?  Well, you will get a designated, official credit as the movie’s graphic designer/artist and a free copy of the DVD signed by as many of the cast and crew as we can wrangle.  The winnings may be subject to change until the other two “sign” off on the decision.

So, all entries should be emailed to anthony (at) 2243themovie dot com and we will take entries until the end of June.  Again, the date may be moved forward or back depending on mitigating factors.

If you have any questions, concerns, comment, etc. about this competition or anything else, please feel free to utilize the Contact page and we will get back to you soon!  Leave a comment and break out your graphic design skills/friends!

Principal photography is a wrap for 0:22:43. Listen to what is to come for the film.

So, we finally did it. We wrapped principal photography on 0:22:43!

Sunday ended up being a great day with only a couple of potholes along the road.  This won’t be a full-fledged post as I am going to force the other two to do a video recap of the production.  Keep an eye out for that Thursday afternoon.  As we say every time, but never gets any less true: we had an absolutely fantastic and talented cast along with one of the hardest working crews ever.  We look forward to working with you again.

There are a lot of photos out and around the internet from the set.  If you could, please post a link to your album(s) in the comments.  I’ll throw mine (Anthony’s) up right now, but I didn’t have time to take very many pictures.

WARNING! NERDY SITE-RELATED STUFF NEXT:

One last thing! The site is doing well.  The visit count is petering off, but Monday marked our 1,000th unique visitor to the site.  What does that mean?  Well, we have had over 1,000 individual people visit this site and they are spending, on average, over two and half minutes here.  That is just absolutely amazing considering we have had only ONE day where we had no visitors and that was Saturday, February 7.  Since then, we have had good days and bad days, but always, has there been at least one person checking the site.  I know that our visit numbers would be much higher if we had had the time and energy to post more often.

Thank you so much for helping make our dream a reality.

Remember. Thursday there will be a production wrap-up video come hell or high water.

We have added the pictures from our first round of location scouting.  What we found, blew us away and we decided to use the location for the movie.

To see what we found, just check and click the Stills page up there above this post.  The pictures were taken by Jerry White and myself, with Allison Pullum’s drool-inducing Canon EOS 5D Mark II.  She also used her awesome photography skills to make them look good.  Check out her work.

UPDATE (Feb. 22, 2009): There is still some work to be done on the gallery.  It uses SimpleViewer and was constructed with Lightroom.  We just need to figure out how to get a link back to the site embedded inside the viewer.  Shouldn’t be too difficult, but for now, just stick with your back button.

Hi, everyone.  I have not made a post on here yet, and thought it was time to break my silence and introduce myself to our loyal supporters. lol.  I’m Allie.  Ta Da! I heard about this in July when Jerry and Tony were going to have this be 5 minutes, and became apart of this adventure in October-November.

So enough of that, let’s get down to the information that you all want to know about; the current events with the movie.  Wednesday we worked on dialog and today, we went on an exciting hunt to find and reserve a room for auditions.  After going through many different people and departments, we found the spot. Little did we know that even being students here we have to pay to get a room in the union.  Hmmm makes you wonder where that tuition is really going?

So we did finally find a room in the library,  for the audition dates which will be march 4, 2009 and march 5, 2009.  So posters and an update with the exact room and times will be up soon.

Today we went on a location scouting and took quite a few pre-production stills of different locations we will and are thinking about using. So Tony will have them up pretty soon, I think it was decided on Tuesday. so check those out!!

So that is all I have right now.  Not bad for my first post.  Keep a look out for updates to the site or Facebook on the movie so you know whats going on.  Thanks for the support!!

Allie T.
