"STORIES FROM THE WINTER FRONT"

Came across this blog from our Script Supervisor Elissa Cohn at:

She writes:

""Way back in the fall of 2005 I left the comforts of my parents house in
warm, sunny south Florida to spend the winter in the cold of Bucks County,
Pennsylvania. I drove over twenty hours in order to work on my very first
feature film. I was to be the script supervisor on the ultra low budget
indie The Book Of Caleb. Written and directed by FSU alum Matt Manahan,
The Book of Caleb was a production unlike any I’ve seen or been a part of
since."

It was run incredibly professionally, crewed with immense talent, fueled
by passion. And done on a tiny budget that shouldn’t have allowed most of
the things we accomplished to occur.

Now, after a long wait and much anticipation, The Book of Caleb is
finished. I’m incredibly excited for Matt and everyone else who has spent
countless hours putting this thing together. And I just wanted to share my
excitement and spread the love.""

It kind of got me thinking. It's crazy we wrapped production over two
years ago, but I think the scars from the trauma still run deep in much of
the crew.

SO, what I'd like to do is start collecting stories from the Cast and
Crew, and then post them on the Blarf in the countdown leading up to the
DVD release of the film.

It's an open invitation to anyone that worked on to film to share a story
from the production. The crazier the better. You can e-mail me at

"AWESOME"

So we are making a real campaign to make the top ten in this "From Here to
Awesome" Film Festival. It's kinda difficult to explain what makes this
event so important, but please support the film.

Here's how:

You'll want to got to two sites:

site 1:

http://www.fromheretoawesome.com/bookofcaleb

you will need to register before you can vote. have a pen handy. The site
doesn't let you pick your own password.

Then go to youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0upLEBV3as

you have to create a youtube account.
then:

1. rate it five stars: click the red ones
2. add a comment
3. favorite: click the heart--most important.
4. subscribe to the channel.

I totally understand this is the pain in the ass. It's best if you can
vote in both places, but if you can only do one that is fine too.

every vote counts so thanks.

"DVD UPDATE"

I've gotten alot of questions about when people can actually watch the
movie. Here's what I can say...soon.

Barber is working on the DVD, and the rough timeline we have worked out is
that they will be available for shipping sometime in mid May.

Here is what you can look forward to seeing on it.

1. Widescreen format of the film
2. Behind-the-Scenes Featurette.
3. Commentary track with director
Matthew Von Manahan, plus actors Michael Hampton (Montag) and Jeff Berg
(Scar).
4. Bonus extras include short films with characters from "The
Book of Caleb", still gallery, and original trailer.

You can pre-order your copy here:

http://www.bookofcaleb.com/index.php?left=store&right=store&nav=on&title=on

What's great about pre-ordering your copy, is first of all they are about
5 dollars cheaper, but also the more dvd's we sell by pre-order the faster
we will be able to get them out.
