FAQ #1: "When can I see Jake?"
The short answer: sometime in 2010, we hope!
The long answer: we are currently submitting Jake to film festivals around the world. The application process for film festivals is expensive, especially factoring in shipping from New Zealand, so we're being selective in what festivals we apply to at this point, but if there's a festival that you think we should be applying to for whatever reason, let us know in the comments and we'll take a look!
As we hear back from festivals, we will also be talking to distributors. This is uncharted ground for us and we don't know exactly what's going to happen, to the point where it would be foolish to guess. And in 2010, the distribution landscape is ever-shifting - internet distribution is becoming more and more mainstream, and the typical "play festivals/get limited theatrical release/go to video" or "get into festivals/don't get theatrical release/go directly to video" paths are no longer the only two options for indies.
But one way or another, we are committed to making sure that as many people see Jake as possible, in the best quality possible, as soon as is reasonably possible.
When we know more, you'll hear about it right here!
What is Jake?
Jake is an independent feature film produced in Auckland, New Zealand by the DIY movie-making collective Hybrid Motion Pictures. We're the first theatrical feature film in New Zealand to shoot entirely on the RED camera.
We have finished editing Jake; while we put the final touches on the colour grade and sound mix at Images and Sound and our composer Paul Velat finishes the music, we're sending the movie to festivals around the world.
We're very proud of the final product, and look forward to being able to show it to all of you.
Welcome to JakeTheMovie.com
Welcome to the new Jake website! We'll still be updating our Facebook page but this will be the main hub for news and information about the movie. We've released some brand-new behind the scenes stills, and our very first still images from the film itself as well as our first teaser trailer are coming soon. We'll also be publishing blog entries about the experience of making Jake. So welcome!
