I personally have never made a full-length feature before (a half-hour has been my longest), but I grasp the cinematic mountain you all had to climb to get there.
I noticed in the credits that everyone did everything. No luxury of letting the carpenter peeps handle the carpentry, the wardrobe peeps handle the wardrobe, etc.
From an old film person to new film peeps, I totally salute you.
I totally laughed out loud when I saw the "I had assumed the director had been a film-maker just out of film school or something.". Mike is an awesome guy, and just like the rest of us took this seriously and rolled up his sleeves and read up and researched as much as anyone can for something they never did before. I remember seeing books at his house on how to write good scripts for example.
I will tell him your compliment and he will get a big kick out of it.Quote:

Storyboards... the one thing we didn't do that we all wish we had done (said as one of the head construction guys who worked tirelessy on set pieces that never made it into a shot). I will do my best to remember the offer when the point (hopefully) comes.
Just in case though - I am sure that if/when a sequel is launched we will have much wider coverage as far as putting the call for talent out since more and more people know about us every day. So assuming we get the sales we want, we will be organizing resources more efficiently and letting people know what roles we need populated.
The # 1 problem with organizing volunteer help we had was getting people to travel to Maryland on their own dime since we had no $$$. Still some stuff can be done remotely.
I traveled from NC to Maryland last April for the park shoot. There were 4 of us from NC and we had the best time. Meeting Mike and the rest of the cast and crew and having many "Browncoat Moments". I would do it again in a minute!

Firstly , this question is for Mike D.
What would be the particulars for doing a screening at my local venue , then offering DVD's for take-home afterwards ?
Also , massive seconds to all the appreciatin' going on around here !
I had large expectations , which I always scrupulously avoid , based only upon the trailers and 'making of' videos that I'd seen...
...and I was still shocked and awed by how great Redemption turned out to be !
I figured we'd get 45 minutes , like a Firefly episode , if we were fortunate. And , it was ALL GREAT !
Ass-picious Double Happiness ! We got twice that , and the quality was amazing , all things taken into consideration...
To all the gang who had a part in the doing of this job , your fellow Browncoats are in your debt ,
and we are loving the way that you are keeping us in the air...
All the actors were notable , but like many of the guys 'round here , I am so carrying a fire in my reactor for Miriam Pultro right now...Whoa , howdy , Miss ! I'd fly with you anywhere ,'Pete'! 
Thanks to Chris for starting the thread , bringing the comments , and especially the new pics of our sweetie. (mutt999 , too!)

I couldn't watch most of the show at the Shindig as I was busy eyeballin' the critters, but my other half did raise a fine point about the homosexual scandal thing and wondering if that would really be an issue 400 years in the future, what with the whole "space whore" aspect and apparently same-sex liasons being pretty commonplace? Not sure what would've fit there, but ?? Gay joke just seemed out of place, is all...
Did manage to catch the ending, and am pretty sure that'll be a standard phrase around here, so that's somethin'.
